Hi all, It seems I remember reading someone wrote that they had birth records on permanent loan from LDS for the Island? Or someone has a working St. Anne's CD? I'm trying to confirm the birth of Emilie or Emily Cadieux to Caroline and Felix Cadieux. I think she was born in 1851 between 1850 and 1853. Caroline Cadieux was the widow of Francois Janell (Gennell), daughter of a McColic (or McColleck or McCulloch) born in Michigan. They are on the 1850 census in Holmes Township. The younger Felix Cadieux b. 1839 in NY was a son by Felix the elder's first wife. The younger Felix and his half brother Alfred Gennell both served as Justices of the Peace in the straits area. Caroline turns up on the 1880 census in Chicago with four daughters, all younger than Emilie, who was married in Chicago in 1868. Any info confirming Emilie is indeed of this Cadieux family is appreciated. Thanks, Karen

While I do know some things on Joseph particularily that he came to Mackinac Island, and lived there, and left quite an impression...even some camp on the island was named for him. Also from the looks of some digging he may even be the same Joe Leggett that approved the infamous autombile ban! http://www.mackinac.com/carriagetours/autoban.html Now I need some huge help... While I do know of him well I have no clue on his wife Mary A. Chapman. I do know they were married September 09, 1880, and lived on the Island together. She was rumored to be part Cherokee, and she died on December 28, 1934, but I have no Birthdate, or burial. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me.

Yes, I do have relations in Hart, MI, but I didn't live there. I lived in Grand Rapids, MI. I do have some family history going back to Nicholas Schaner, but I am still missing a lot. As time goes on and our older relatives forget things, it becomes harder and harder to learn about my ancestory. Recently, I had an uncle pass away and that has renewed my interest in my family history. I'd love to share what I have with you, please respond.

A curious set of circumstances appears. My next door neighbor is Dellore Goudreau who has roots in the UP. I haven't attempted to find out how interested he might be in genealogy, but I have lurked hereabouts trying to find something that might whet his appetite. The message from Laurie BIGELOW SPENCER adds a novel (no pun intended) twist to my quest. My lineage includes the BIGELOW lineage. I wonder if Laurie knows of the BIGELOW web site and if she has forebears listed there.

Hi Laurie, I work with a woman also desc. of Amable Goudreau. There is a big reunion that she talks about. I will ask her where it is held, when, etc. and it may be something you can attend.

If you have not sent in your registration for the Eaton County Genealogical Society Seminar on 17 April 2004. Fawne was with us last year and we had many requests to bring her back so that she could share some more of her wonderful information and insight with us. I would ask that you forward this to your friends that might be interested. Seating will be limited so don't miss out. The deadline has been extended until April 10th. After that date you should check for availability. Go to our website at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~miecgs/workshop2004.htm> for further information. This year's annual workshop is sure to be a full day of important information. Both primary records and online sources will be discussed at length. Prepare yourself now for a summer of research by arming yourself with the most up-to-date information. CROWN LAND RECORDS For those who attended last year's workshop and heard Fawne speak on Land Registry Office records you will know the importance of understanding land records. This year Fawne will tell us all about crown land records - those lands that brought immigrants to a new world in search of free government land! For those who did not attend last year but have those ancestors that you cannot find before they come to Michigan, they may well have spent time in Ontario working for a grant of crown land to no avail before coming here. Many thousands of early settlers in the province inhabited crown lands through renting, leasing, squatting, government grants and sales. However, hundreds and even thousands of these early settlers never received the actual patent to the land from the government. Fortunately, records of the initial request for land, or attempts to settle crown land were still generated. In some instances, these records represent the only evidence of a settler's existence in the province before they died or moved on to other areas of Canada or the US. This discussion will provide researchers with a sound understanding of the land granting process, the availability of a variety of crown land records and resources. This is an important source of records for anyone doing Ontario research. USING MAPS IN FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH Maps are critical research tools for family history research. Maps both old and new are important resources to help researchers track down facts about their families; offer the names of individual landowners or residents; show the location of a home on a specific lot; illustrate the relationship of settlers to local institutions; reveal changing place names and; even show changes in the boundaries of nations, provinces, counties, administrative areas (important to early record keeping). An understanding of geographic locations and the relationships illustrated with maps will help family historians locate potential sources of records about their families. This lecture will both explain and visually illustrate the importance of maps for family history research. By attending this year's workshop you will also have an opportunity to see copies of rare Ontario maps. ONLINE SOURCES FOR FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH Are you trying to do your research online? This session will provide an overview of helpful online resources for researching your family history. Particular attention is given to finding primary sources online and information for those searching in the ancestral homelands of England, Ireland, Scotland and Europe. What tools are there to help you? What obstacles will you encounter? What pitfalls should you watch for? Discover how to connect your primary research with online resources and information. Due to the popularity of this lecture, it has been expanded beyond the 1 hour allotted during the workshop which means participants will receive even more valuable information than originally planned. It also means the schedule for the day could run a little bit over. Don't miss this important information to help you search online effectively! FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH IN THE 21ST CENTURY Today we stand as participants and witnesses to the infant years of a new century and a new millennium. In the same way that technology has revolutionized the way we live, the hobby (or should we say "obsession") of family history is also in the throws of revolutionary change. But what does this mean to the way in which we conduct our research? More importantly, what will be the legacy of modern family historians for future generations? This session is designed to help researchers identify and balance the information and resources available both online and in traditional institutions in order to make the most of them and ensure that our family history research is a lasting legacy for future generations
