I am working on my Francois LaPierre & Jeanne Rimbalt family line.  My question involves some remarks in Fr.  F. J. Melanson's book , "LAPIERRE", p. i.   Melanson speaks of "Jacques LaPierre (b. 1702), the eldest son of Francois and Marie, who married Marie Forest, daughter of Pierre and Marie Richard".  I cannot find a son for Francois & Marie named Jacques, except a son by Marie Belou's first marriage, but his name is Jacques Chiasson.   Could someone help me solve this mystery?   Thanks in advance, Sherry

Hi Folks: My great aunt, Elizabeth NICKERSON d/o James Rupert & Rose Emma (Brackett) , born 30 May 1885 (Late birth registration: 1904, pg 69300956), Halifax, married 29 Mar 1912, Halifax1) Ora Eugene STEEVES, s/o Frederick William & Elizabeth A. (Colpitts), who died 23 Dec 1924 in Aylesford, Kings, NS.  She obviously m a Mr. MacConnell prior to November 1927, as her late birth registration was signed 22 Nov 1927 as Lizzie May Nickerson MacConnell. My family remember that she lived in Baltimore, MD however, on checking over the 1930 US census, she & Mr. MacConnell are not listed, so they must have married in NS. Do any of these names ring bells with anyone?? Many thanks, Sandi Bellefeuille Mississauga, ON

I agree Bob, although speaking as someone who spent 15 years of his newspaper career in direct competition with Comical Harold, I have to admit they do have the RIGHT to change the website format.

One of their sons passed away this week and I am having a hard job getting info to sort out the rest of their 12 children. Ingrid

Hi All: As I recall, except for a period a few years back when there was a loophole in their software, one has always had to pay to see everything but a relatively small number of C-H back obits. E.g., the Obits CD and their arrangement (which I have never been able to fathom) with Ancestry.com. With most newspapers, it's just a question of how far back things are free. I know that some New England papers allow free on-line access to ten years worth, while other papers give you a week of freebies and that's it. To my possibly perverted way of thinking, since the obits are copyrighted by the paper and it costs them money to support Internet access to their server, ANY unrestricted on-line access, even if it's only a few days worth, is a gift, whatever its motive. :-) -----Bob H----- On 3/31/2010 4:08 PM, Ginny Bergmann wrote: > It sounded to me like he was saying they were charging a fee to see the obits now. > > Virginia (Ward) Bergmann > Researching Hants County surnames: > WARD, MOSHER, CALDWELL, LOWTHERS, BERRY > > > > >> Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:07:31 -0400 >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [NS-L] Chronically Horrid >> >> Not sure if this is a similar process, but when a webpage doesn't allow >> one to copy with the mouse and right-click option, IF the desired text can >> be highlighted, then highlight and use the menu bar version of Edit and >> Copy.

Not sure if this is a similar process, but when a webpage doesn't allow one to copy with the mouse and right-click option, IF the desired text can be highlighted, then highlight and use the menu bar version of Edit and Copy. When that doesn't even work, I sometimes (unless it would violate a valid copyright law) use Shift/Print Screen, then paste into MSPaint or some other photo/graphics program, and save it as a .jpg file or similar for later transcription.

Not sure why this ranks as "a dirty trick." If you right click on the obituary, you can save it as a picture in the "My Pictures" folder of your "My Documents" folder (in Windows), and transcribe it at you leisure later, or simply paste it as a picture into a page.

I have only just become aware of the latest dirty trick that the above mentioned "newspaper" has played on the genealogical community. It is a bit worse than I figured. You see, my partner in genealogical crime, my mother, passed away a year ago, and I found it difficult to think about our grand project and have avoided it for almost a year. It still is hard to go on because I see all of her work and remember all of the great quests and discoveries we made and still have to make. I was keeping close tabs on the people of Meteghan, Digby Co. I don't know if there are others who have been interested in this same area who might be willing to share obits from the last year, primarily of Acadians in Clare, with me. I wrote a nasty letter to the "newspaper" but of course, we all know that the newspaper format is doomed like the abacus and if the Chronically Horrid thinks they can put that off by charging genealogists for obits, they are more dillusional than I thought. Grumpily yours Paul
