    2. Hi Terry and Cindy, Wow! What a terrific website! And the links . . . ! On the first (but definitely not the last) visit I found quite a number of good things on my family lines that I didn't have before. Great job! Betty Jack

    1. [NISHNAWBE] Rix Robinson info
    2. Recently someone from Emmet County in Michigan wrote that she hasn't seen any reference for Rix Robinson her ancestor, at this site. Well, I have mentioned him before because he is also my dad's direct descendant & my dad's mother's maiden name was Edna Pearl Robinson. My dad was contacted a few years back by another cousin... Mark VonDestinon, who is a professor at Cochise College in AZ & he has a website about Rix. All one has to do is type Rix Robinson in your search engine. I went there for all of you who don't have a "search engine" & got this web address: r2d2.cochise.cc.az.us/vondestinon/family/rix.htm ............I have told this site about the Rix Robinson family reunion every August in Ada & I have met other cousins & came up with some great history tidbits. My dad's mother, Edna, had mom Sarah, whose mom was Lydia, whose mom was QuisMoQua & whose grandfather was Chief Blackbird. I would like to know more about Cross Village & Indian names of QuisMoQua's grandparents etc. So, if there is any relatives out there that know anything..... My dad has a surveyor friend that recently found just where his grandfather had much acerage in Montague, Michigan. We were looking for the exact location of his grandfather's house which my 91 yr old dad remembers & found it on one of the maps. My dad's grandfather and his brother were fisherman & ferry boat operators on the White Lake Channel, Montague side (where my dad was born in 1912) & yet the stone marker there lists other men that were there AFTER my dad's people.... this is at a little park they made on the Montague side overlooking the White Lake Channel & the beautiful light house.... Also, there were no records of my dad's grandmother Sarah Robinson wife of Mac (Daniel) Robinson ever being laid in the Mouth cemetery! She was Ottawa Indian. ..... I take my email name Sebequay from Rix's second wife (named by whites the name Nancy which she hated).... Sebequay means Riverwoman. I have some experience on the river & used to call myself that name when going down the river. There is a corner in the Ada Museum outside Grand Rapids.... devoted to Rix & Sebequay.

    3. Hi All I was sent a web page to look at that has a lot of good gen stuff on it: http://www.mdwsweb.com/genealogylists One link was: http://www.birminghamgenealogy.org/research/tutoials/6stepqry.htm 6 Steps to Writing a Successful Genealogy Query Only too often, and I am as guilty as any o doing it, we see a gen query that is too general. This page is well layed out and not that long either. The pages owner has obviously been around the net for a while and has done an excellent job of links and the info on it. He even made me smile when writing of the old SYSOP and BBS boards. We used to share and download like the dickens on these. I would say he has something on his page for everyone!

    1. [NISHNAWBE] Mackinac County ALHN Site
    2. Hi all and Happy Holidays! After several months of compiling, debating, designing, typing and retyping - Cindy Leutz and I have finally completed our Mackinac County web site on the American Local History Network! This has been quite a learning experience. It has long been our belief that genealogical information should be shared. So we have transcribed and compiled a large assortement of information in our respective libraries about Mackinac County. In addition, we have also selected a wide range of links to excellent websites. There is something here for everyone: historical visual images of Mackinac County in postcards, fur trade and voyageur information, transcribed 19th Century documents including Annuities, fur trade records and the 1839 Half Breed Census, information on shipping and ferries, history of some famous and courageous Metis women in the fur trade (please excuse the goofy coloring on the typeface, we couldnt figure out why it changed colors!), military information and even information on Haunted Places in and around Mackinac County! The emphasis of our research has focused on Native American, First Nations and Metis information. Our purpose in doing this site has been to share accurate information based on primary source research and sharing some of those documents that have aided us in our research. We hope that the information will help you in your research and encourage you to share your findings, as well. We invite you to take some time to explore the site and comment in our guest book. Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone! Terry Weller and Cindy Leutz http://www.rootsweb.com/~mimacki2/page1.html

The database is quite user-friendly, as visitors can elect to search by year (or time period), institutional location of document, or collection. For example, typing in Montreal returns 2900 documents alone, including numerous maps, government correspondence, and a number of city plans. The SVG Viewer plug-in allows users to zoom in, rotate, and manipulate documents in a number of ways, and is a welcome addition to this already remarkable online resource. [KMG]

    3. Hi Lynn Cloutier has been spelled differently but that is the one that I use. Also Manitoukoue has been spelled differently , but Marie Josephete seems constant. Zacharies parents were Anathase Cloutier and Margaret Goullet. He was born abt. 1739 in Quebec. Marie Josephte was described as Sauteuse. She was christened November 20, 1780 at Deux-Montages, Oka Quebec. Their children -- 1 - Marie Josephte b. April 11, 1785 Oka d. Oct. 29, 1869 Tiny Twp. Ont. 2 - Charles b. abt. 1776 christened Nov. 20, 1780 at Deux-Montages, Oka Quebec 3 - Francois b. abt. 1777 christened Nov. 21, 1780 at Deux-Montages, Oka Quebec 4 - Genevieve b. Nov. 14, 1779 christened Nov. 20, 1780 at Deux-Montages Oka, Quebec 5 - Joseph Benjamin b. Oct. 1781 christened Oct. 10, 1781 at Deux-Montages Oka, Quebec 6 - Marie Madeine (Madeleine?) b. June 1782 christened June 29, 1782 at Oka Quebec This is basically what I have. I would like to know much more about "Manitoukoue" Thank You and Merry Christmas David >From: LMThistle@aol.com >Reply-To: NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com >To: NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [NISHNAWBE] MANITOUKOUE >Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 07:34:29 EST > >In a message dated 12/17/2003 2:43:06 PM Eastern Standard Time, >eydistrict@hotmail.com writes: >Marie Josephete Manitoukoue (Monctoukoue) was christened in Oka Quebec in >1780 and married Zacharie Cloutier and had six children. > >David, >I don't have information on these people unless Cloutier is spelled >different >ways.
