Hi All! And especially to all those descendants of Pierre MORIN-dit-BOUCHER and Marie MARTIN who have communicated with me over the years. I realize its been quite some time and I still havent gotten through all the wonderful sources, references, etc. sent to me as much as a couple of years ago but I just wanted everyone to know that Im still slowly working my way through them, and Ill eventually get to yours and communicate again. Not to make excuses, but Ive gone through a lot of very painful episodes over the last couple of years with my kidneys and prostate which have kept me much slower over sometimes many months at a time. But Im starting to feel better now so you should begin to notice something soon. I thought Pierre and Maries descendants would be interested in this: http://morintrek.ning.com/ Its a Trek being run by Gérard BOYER (Gerard - 1st e accented*) who lives fairly close to the Antoine MORIN (my G-GPa) property and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He is connected through Antoines son Philippe and grandson George and was born in Rockland (which is where my maternal GPa was born) and grew up there and in Cumberland. For you English-only individuals, he is also a fully bilingual French-English-Canadien and will handle translation problems (along with others who will show up Im sure) during the trek through Quebec and the Maritimes to Annapolis-Royal. Personally Im still in the situation where Im trying to determine if my own health is good enough yet to attempt this, so I havent confirmed yet. At the moment my wife doesnt feel Im able so I guess it depends on whether I listen to her or not/believe her or not. Al Doherty (Mother was a MORIN) Pickering, Ontario, Canada P.S. * Ive started to note French accented words as above because of the mangling some servers the messages go through do to the language. Id suggest others on the list do the same.
