These are the children I found. Maria A. Dec. 18, 1892 Marie L. Nov. 25, 1894 Leotine Dec. 14, 1895 Arthur Oct. 6, 1896 Joseph A. July 13, 1898 Alexina Oct. 8, 1900 Joseph July 8, 1902 Joseph May 11,1903 I've been looking through some family search webs, and found a couple of deaths of the children. Most were in the 60's. I'm going to the library on Wednesday to try to find the obits. I would love to be able to contact one of their children. I think I have a picture of Amanda, but I would like to compare it with another one if I can find someone that has one. Do know where Arthur died? I can't find his obit. Thanks for writing. Is there anything you need in your search? Sherry

The Giroux family came to New Bedford in the 1880's from Tilbury Ontario Canada. I can come up with eight children's names from Arthur and Amanda. ( I might have missed some seeing I got all of my information from the library.) I believe Amanda was living in Fairhaven when she passed away, and both she and her husband are buried at Sacared Hearts Cemetary in New Bedford. If anything rings a bell, please let me know. I have been doing Giroux genealogy for two years now and have quite a bit of info. Thanks for writing, Sherry

Hi Folks: Proclamation acknowledges deportation December 5, 2003; FRENCHVILLE, Maine- After nearly 250 years, Evangeline and Gabrielle, the immortalized heroes of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's tragic poem about the deportation of Acadians at the hands of the British, are getting their due. After more than a decade of trying to get Queen Elizabeth II of England to apologize for the ethnic cleansing brought about by the deportation of Acadians from Grand Pre, Nova Scotia, in 1755, the apology is being made. The deportation occurred between 1755 and 1763, scattering French-speaking people into Maine and as far south as Louisiana. Queen Elizabeth's apology comes through a back door by way of the Canadian Federal Cabinet, which approved the order this week. The proclamation will become official next week when it is signed by Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, the queen's representative in Canada. Balance of this article can be viewed on my web site at http://www.acadian.org/apology.html Enjoy. Yvon Cyr Acadian Genealogy Homepage
