Greetings Matthew, You mentioned that the publication was bilingual. I would like a clairification on this please. Is everything that is written in this book in French is also written in English so that the French and English exactly mirror each other? I've seen books that have called themselves bilingual and found that 70-80% was French and a mear 30-20% was in English. Then you spend more time running around to find somebody to read and translate.

Therefore, a project is in progress to identify, compile and establish bibliographic notes about the members of the infantry of the British regular army who fought in New France in the midst of the Seven Years War. These notes will allow us to identify those who survived the conflict and those who died, those who left and those who established themselves in America, while presenting the military course of each. This venture aspires to a publication of a bilingual work on the subject. It is to note that this project is the counterpart of another project, undertaken by the Société généalogique canadienne-française, to which the NBC financially collaborates, and which aims at making a similar reconstruction, but for the French troops. The project led by the NBC requires a lot of work and the collaboration of qualified persons. That is why we solicit your knowledge and your resources on this subject. In fact, we want to know if: - You have information allowing us to guide our researches and to enrich our sources. - You are aware of similar projects. - You have suggestions concerning persons or organizations susceptible to help us. Any information on the subject will be a contribution to this project. We thank you for the interest which you will carry to this demand. If you have questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact Mrs Hélène Quimper, archivist and historian at the NBC: (418 ) 648-2589 or via e-mail in helene.quimper @ ccbn-nbc.gc.ca. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger: maintenant accessible sur votre cellulaire. http://www.affichezvotrestyle.com/

Lookinf for the family of Cyrus Daniels who married Deborah Ewings. lived in Barnston, Quebec. Gwen Emery Don't judge folks by their relatives.

To all:- More transcribers are needed to boost the Quebec percentage. I have Step-By-Step information for any newcomer which may have to be translated into French. All pages, regardless of province, have a link below the input space if one sees the pages was enumerated in French, the transcriber clicks on that -- English would be the default language./ I have trancribed many Quebec pages -- in French -- the data is there. Percentages per District/Province http://static.automatedgenealogy.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6474 You will see that Ontario seems to held up by many who have claimed pages but have not completed the necessary 50 lines. I have a TEAM of more than 20 transcribers -- we help one another and invitation is given for more from Quebec -- at present, the transcribers are working in all parts of Canada. The 100% Group includes Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Yukon and NorthWest Territories. [Watch out for Manitoba -- presently 74.43%] Let me know if anyone desires to make Quebec 100%, please. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee

To all:- Quebec was 62.73% this afternoon, so I went through the 64 districts and found many with 100%. http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ When one clicks onto the Province of Quebec, it will show the present percentage. Districts "almost there" are Champlain - 98.17%; Compton - 95.18%; Nicolet - 97.59%; Quebec East - 99.92%; Quebec County - 99.97% Very often it is found people claim the page when only a few lines are done then forget to go back to it. It is better to NOT claim the page, but write down district and page you were working on -- it will be waiting for you! The ONE HUNDRED CLUB Districts are Beauharnois, Drummond and Arthabaska, Kamouraska, L'Islet, Lobiniere, Quebec Centre, Quebec West, Quebec County, Richilieu, St. Jean - Iberville, Sherbrooke, Stanstead, Temiscontu Some pages have been enumerated in French -- these are fun to transcribe! After one signs in, then goes to page of choice, if enumerated in French, scroll down a bit and click on language you want - English or French. At present, Ontario is 88.18% due to claimed pages and Manitoba is 72.43% -- which of the three provinces will reach 100% first? The TEAM to which I belong is transcribing in all provinces and percentages rising daily -- it is fun and information will be given. Muriel M.

Sorry to hear that Adella and Keith can not read the document after going to the trouble of downloading it. Are you using a recent version of ADOBE READER to open this pdf formatted document ?. We are using version 6.0. I will send each of you a scanned page ( in jpg format) as attached email. This is what we see when we open the file with Adobe Reader. John W.

Thanks John, Yes, I have the most current version of Adobe but I just figured out what the problem was. I was trying to access it through Firefox (the browser I use for most sites). Well, I just tried that one particular file through Internet Explorer and it opened no problem so that I could save it. So that seemed to be the problem for me - it didn't like Firefox. Thanks for trying but you did help because your email gave me the idea of trying IE.

The aspect of having the records of the Megantic cemeteries was very appealing however the download of a 6 meg file on my rural dial up is out of the question. However my Local Library does have high speed and I have a Flash or Thumb drive enabling me to download and bring it home to my computer. Yesterday I did this and unfortunately the results are less that satisfactory. The quality of the reproduction of any of the 524 pages at time is quite unreadable. Comparable to Jpeg images with too much compression. Individual pages viewed on the site directly are quite good. Has anyone else downloaded the complete file with satisfactory results ?

No me. It took me a long time to find the files in the first place and when I finally did find them I downloaded them I downloaded them with highspeed cable internet connection and it was completely unreadable. Every page was like a big black blotch on it that you could not read a single word. The only way I could read anything was viewing it online. Adella On 8/16/06, J.

To all:- Pages have been unlocked in various areas of Ontario and Quebec when the district reaches 99% - requests may be left with description to the Message Board. If any transcriber has forgotten pages "not quite finished", I find it is easy to spot them in the "Latest Pages" and also in the "Pages with More than 50 Lines" There will be a little letter in blue (I believe) and this takes one directly to the page. Otherwise, we have to post notices on the Message Board, the name is removed and someone else gets the credit. Percentages of those not in the 100% Club:- ONTARIO ---------------87.86% MANITOBA ------------72.01% QUEBEC----------------62.28% SASKATCHEWAN-----45.18% BRITISH COLUMBIA--44.59% ALBERTA---------------33.20% My group now numbers 24 and we cover all above provinces, with another to start in Alberta tomorrow.
