Genealogy begins as an interest, Becomes a hobby; Continues as an avocation, Takes over as an obsession, And in its last stages, Is an incurable disease. --Author Unknown

AFTER READING THIS YVONNE SENT, I'VE DECIDED NOT TO DIE!!!!ALICEEEE Cleaning Mother's House–  Michael John Neill It has been nearly a year since fictional genealogist Barbara passed away. Her daughter Charlene reflects upon that year in a letter to her friend Karen. Charlene truly has been busy. Barbara is probably rolling over in her grave. Karen, As usual, my cards are late. It has been a busy year. We spent much of the year settling up Mother's estate. The house sold well, but cleaning it took longer than we expected. You are probably the only person who did not know Mother was a genealogy buff. She told practically every human she encountered. I'm convinced that genealogy "nut" was the most accurate phrase. The stuff was all over the house. The inheritance would have been enough to pay for my new Mercedes had she not insisted on spending money on that blasted hobby. I don't know why she couldn't be more like Tom's mother. Nadine spends her day doing needlepoint and watching reruns of 50s television shows. Tom just does not realize how lucky he is, but men never do. My mother had to run off to cemeteries and courthouses. She even went to a conference in Davenport, Iowa, last year! Can you imagine? Davenport, Iowa! After she got back, she was so excited about all that she had learned and all the fun she had. She was planning on going to another one in California this year. Well the grim reaper took care of that. Because of my promotion to head of knick knack sales at Garbageforless.com, I had not been home for several years. I was appalled to learn that Mother had converted my old bedroom into her family history "headquarters." My shelves of Teen Beat and other magazines documenting my adolescence had been replaced with old family photographs, copies of old documents, and something called family group sheets. She even got rid of the pants I wore to my first junior high dance. I cried at the thought. I could not bear to go in the room and be reminded that my childhood had been stripped from me and replaced with an obsession with the past. I told the children that if they would clean the room and prepare the items for the garage (should I say "garbage"?) sale they could have the proceeds. I learned what true entrepreneurs they are. Kenny stripped Mother's hard drive in under ten minutes. I kept hearing him say "GedCom is GedGone . . . GedCom is GedGone . . ." I have no idea what it meant, but the computer fetched a good price. Before he unplugged the computer, he erased all Mom's floppy disks and downloaded public domain games. He sold these at a nominal price. Susan took the old photographs to a flea market and was able to sell many of them. Some special labels had to be taken off and we had to take them out of protective envelopes. Mother had written the names on the back of many of them. At least none of those pictures of depressing old dead people had our last name written on them. I don't want to be associated with such sour people. Mother had some type of old plat book -- whatever that is. Kenny tore out the pages individually and sold them separately on Ebay. It was so clever. His dad said he got much more than if he had left the book in one piece. Susan didn't tear the bibles apart though. I thought that showed tremendously good sense. She's learning that not everything can be marketed in the same way. The 1790 bible brought her a good penny, but she couldn't get the one from 1900 to bring more than fifty cents. She donated it to a local church, and here is where I am so proud of her. We can write if off as a charitable deduction. Someone had written what they had paid for the bible on the back cover. Susan converted that to 2001 dollars and will use that for our tax deduction amount. I've already enrolled Susan in tax lawyer summer camp this coming August. There was some old large certificate of written on heavy paper. The silly thing wasn't even in English, so why would Mother keep it? Kenny used the other side to keep track of the things he had sold. Waste not, want not. When we were finished we put the paper in the recycling bin. The kids put an old wedding dress from the 1870s in the washer to get the stains out. It was terribly filthy. The worthless thing didn't even survive the extra long cycle and the half-gallon of bleach. It's doubtful we can even use it for cleaning rags. The dress was in some kind of old trunk. I'm not certain what it was for, but it had a name stenciled on the front in huge letters along with the name of a town. Susan gave it a good coating of red paint and sold it as a toy box. The filing cabinets were emptied of their contents, as were the three shelves of binders. Kenny got the bright idea to shred the paper and sell it in bags as New Year's confetti. The file folders were too heavy to shred. The baby did not react well to any of this. She cried and fussed almost the entire time. Kenny thought she wanted tea, which made no sense to me at all. As she cried, it sounded like she was saying "family tee." She can't even talk yet and I think Kenny was hearing things. The baby does look exactly like my mother though, it's the oddest thing. The fussing didn't stop until she spit up an entire bottle of strained prunes on my junior high jeans, which we did find in the basement. They were ruined -- it was the one real loss. Now my past has really been taken from me -- magazines and all.

Berwick Register March 20, 1929 >>snip There is one important fact in connection with the Expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia which Mrs. Anderson does not mention in her interesting account of the "Early Settlement of Nova Scotia," which appeared in The Register of February 27th. This fact is that the Expulsion was carried out, not only without the authority or even the knowledge of the British Government, but contrary to its instructions. Years before the Expulsion took place a suggestion that the Acadians be removed was made to that Government. The reply was decidedly unfavorable. The officials making the proposal were advised to cultivate friendly relations with the French peasantry, from whom much of the foot required by British military and naval forces in Nova Scotia was derived. The officer from Quebec who was in command of the troop that massacred Colonel Noble and his New England soldiers at Grand Pre, complained bitterly that the Acadians refused to supply him with provisions on the way. Two men seem to have been responsible for the Expulsion. These were Governor Lawrence of Nova Scotia and Governor Shirley, of Massachusetts. No British soldiers took part in it. Winslow, who commanded, was a descendant of one of the early governors of Massachusetts. One modern writer, Mr. Richard, a descendant of an expelled family, says that the Governors Lawrence and Shirley, divided between them cattle and other plunder to the value of twenty thousand pounds. -- Phil Vogler

Acadians Return To Grand Pre 1930 Berwick Register, August 27, 1930 Acadians Return To Grand Pre Many Descendants of Pioneers Gather At Shrine of Evangeline for 175th Anniversary of the Expulsion of the Acadians. Hundreds of the descendants of the French pioneers I the Land of Evangeline, from Louisiana, Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes gathered at the historic village of Grand Pre last Wednesday to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the expulsion of the Acadians. While staged as an Acadian re-union, there were almost an equal number of people of English descent in the crowd of over 4,000. They came from all sections of Canada and the United States. Through the addresses of all the speakers, which included high officials of the church and state, good will was stressed. Detachments of French Marines and Royal Canadian Militia and Marines, lent a military touch to the scene. Great interest centred in the delegation from Louisiana which became the home of many of the exiles from Grand Pre and which still maintains the traditions and many of the customs of their race. The most interesting members of the delegation were naturally the twenty "Evangeline" girls, who, chosen for their beauty and charm, were elected by the different parishes in Louisiana to represent them at Grand Pre. They had beauty and charm and in their Evangeline costumes they made an exceedingly entrancing picture. The day's program opened with Pontificial High Mass, the Right Rev. P. A. Chiasson, Bishop of Chatham, officiating. A service in French was conducted by Rev., Fr. Alfred Lang, and in English by Rev. Phillippe Herbert, Buctouche. This sight of the Acadians worshipping just outside the little chapel of Saint Charles, a replica of that long ago church where the Acadians worshipped back in the days before the "expulsion," was lovely and quaint and one long to be remembered. After the service, visits were made to historic spots in Memorial Park and the surrounding districts. Groups gathered about the old well and around the statue of Evangeline, strolled under the French willows centuries old, and stood with uncovered heads by the grave wherein lies buried those British soldiers killed in the execution of their duty. For the first time in 175 years troops formed a guard at Grand Pre. Following the singing of "O Canada" the opening address in English and French was given by Hon. Justice A. L. LeBlanc. "It is not to us to decide whether the Acadians were rightly or wrongly expelled; we will leave that to the historians," said the speaker. "It is for us to try to foment a public Canadian spirit and forget everything that has gone before. If there is any bitterness in our hearts let us bury it here today under the shadow of this cross." Governor Tory, in his address in opening, said: "It is true we meet to recall an event of which we of the British race can not speak with any degree of pride. I am happy to say, however, that we meet not to recall the old animosities of another and less favored age but to rejoice in the good will and mutual understanding of a new and better day." After declaring that it is the irony of history that the two great races which have done more for human progress than any other races in the modern world, British and French, should have found themselves in almost continuous conflict for centuries, Lieutenant Governor Tory related the events leading up to the expulsion of the Acadians. "But our celebration today," he continued, "is not to recall old cruelties and animosities of the past, but rather to direct attention to the development of good will and reconciliation which have taken place since that day. Look for a moment at what has happened. In the Province of Nova Scotia not only have we completely forgotten the antagonists of the past, but we hardly think such other as belonging to separate places. We are all Nova Scotians .. (?) .. our native province. "Then in Canada, taken as a whole, the British and the French have learned to live side by side, each race maintaining and developing their own particular racial qualities, yet uniting in common effort to build up in the Dominion of Canada a civilization based on liberty, justice and tolerance. "These great peoples represented here today, the British, the French, and the people of the United States, are without question three of the foremost races in the world, in promoting international good will and intercourse, and all that goes to make that intercourse wholesome and agreeable." Deputy Mayor Fred Herbin, Wolfville, a son of John Frederick Herbin, noted Acadian historian, and who first started the memorial park, welcomed the visitors in English and Prof. Massey, of Acadia University, in French on behalf of the local population. -- Phil Vogler
