Would anyone have any information for Francoise who is in Michigan on this woman I am still looking for my grandmother, Clara Larue who I now know that she was baptized at Corpus Chriti, St.Johnsbury, Vermont, but I cannot find out where she was born. Her parents: François Larue and Louise Poulin were from Canada and I cannot find theirs roots either. Clara died in Lowell Mass in 1902. Théophile Forcier (her second husband) (his second wife) came from Saint-François-du- Lac, Qc. They were married in Essexville, Bay County, Michigan May 11, 1891. thanks |Harriet

If you are just concerned with pronunciations, failing everything else you can use Google translate. There is a button for it to pronounce what you have entered.

Have you seen the blog Maple Stars and Stripes? They have podcasts explaining how to analyze Quebec church records. See http://maplestarsandstripes.com/mss-015-french-canadian-marriage-records/ Hi Darlene, Joseph Defoy and Julie Parent were married 10 Nov 1801 at Notre Dame de Quebec. You can view the record at Family Search by browsing Quebec, Catholic Parish Registers, 1621-1979/Québec/Notre-Dame-de-Québec/Baptêmes, mariages, sépultures 1799-1802 Image 269 of 394 Joseph Defoy and Marie Archange Robin-Lapointe were married 24 Jan 1815 at Saint Louis de France in Terrebonne. Ancestry has the record, though it's not very clear. Also, they have indexed Joseph as Defay instead of Defoy! Good luck!

" Private Joseph Ashley Company C 16th Vermont Infantry " "Private Ashley is one of several former Canadians that are buried within the National Cemetery. He was born in Quebec of French Canadian parents in 1827. He lived in Canada until shortly after his marriage in 1859, moving to the Town of Cavendish, near Hinesburg, Vermont. His wife, Phebe Geollett, was only 15 years of age when they were married. They had one child, a boy born 1861, who they named Lewis. Tragically their beloved little boy only lived for three months, dying on Dec 3, 1861. On August 17, 1862, Ashley enlisted in the 16th Vermont, which was only a nine months regiment. On July 3rd, possibly during the artillery bombardment preceding, "Pickett's Charge" Private Ashely was killed by a shell fragment." In case someone has a Ashley family. Best Bill

HEADSTONES in Radnor Street Cemetery were vandalised by a group of disrespectful teenagers on Sunday. UK The five boys, believed to be of Asian origin, committed the offence at 4pm with Wiltshire Police urgently wanting to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident. Several headstones have been knocked over with one of the worst damaged being the grave of William Bishop, who died on October 19, 1931, which is based near the site’s Deacon Street entrance. Historian Mark Sutton, who has researched the lives of many of those buried in the cemetery and gives tours of the 104 Commonwealth war graves at the cemetery, is outraged by the damage. Mark said: “I’m very saddened to hear that this has happened. Thankfully, we hadn’t had something of this severity happen there for some time. I don’ t know why someone would do this but they can’t be very respectful. They must see this as a badge of honour. “I would like to meet with the people that have done this and get them to explain why they have done it and understand what a cemetery means to them. As always, it is the minority who are bringing Swindon down.” He said: “It is just terrible as this is a heritage site for Swindon which homes war graves. The idea of someone going into a cemetery and vandalising the graves is very shocking. I just can’t believe the actions of these stupid people. I hope the police catch those responsible and we can then show them the severity of the offence that they have committed.” Following the incident police have stepped up patrols in the area. The cemetery has previously suffered vandalism twice this year with signs put up as part of a First World War commemoration project being broken. They were replaced by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. * Anyone who witnessed this latest incident can call the police on 101 or alternatively information can be left anonymously with Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Boy am I glad to see summer end and the traffic slow down. Drove 298 miles for the day. $36.54 for gas for the day. $12.00 in tolls. 4 Cemeteries for the day. Walked 9.7 miles for the day. 3 Flags for the day. Another great day with the dead. Best Bill Help keep our dead alive.

Good morning Jean Thank you for sharing your summer adventure with us. I know excavation work like that can be tediously painstaking and boring but the thrill of finding artifacts makes it all worthwhile doesn't it. Every little fragment you find is one more little piece of a very big puzzle. One day someone like you will find that last little puzzle piece or pieces and have the final answers we would like to have. Maybe I'm an optimist but I don't think so. I live in Northern Ontario not very far from the locations in Michigan you speak of. When I want to know what the weather is going to be like today where I live, I just check out what the weather was like in Michigan yesterday. Especially in stormy weather as it always travels from Michigan eastward in my direction. So I can definitely believe the La Griffin sank whether by accident or scuttled on purpose. Thanks again for sharing a bit of our history with us. Shirley-Jean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean E.

Sept 2, 1875 Montreal Quebec - Catholic mob prevents the burial in consecrated ground of the printer Joseph Guibord 1804-1869, a member of l'Institut canadien de Montréal; with the approval of Rome, Bishop Ignace Bourget had forbidden Catholics from becoming members of the Institute on pain of excommunication; Guibord refused, and on his death, was not given the last rites. In 1874, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London ordered his burial in the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery. On Nov 16, a military escort will finally escort his body for burial, in an area of the cemetery that Mgr. Bourget will immediately deconsecrate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sept 2, 1797 Quebec Quebec - Catholic bishops required to swear an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sept 2, 1792 Paris France - Canadian Priest André Grasset sent to the guillotine in the Reign of Terror for refusing to agree to a Church reorganization planned by leaders of the French Revolution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sept 2, 1752 Canada - Last day of the Julian calendar in Britain and the Colonies; the Gregorian Calendar designed to correct the extra leap year day problem goes into effect the next day, with tomorrow being September 14, hence 11 days are dropped from the year.

More than 13,000 houses burned and six people died in a three-day fire that started in a wooden house on Pudding Lane near the Tower of London. The house belonged to a baker named Farryner. It was this fire that prompted the first fire insurance policy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harriet Cady's recent message reminded me of a surname I found in Michigan the other day - "Abear" - maybe it was originally "Hébert". Here is an article of interest on French Canadian immigration to USA 1840-1930. http://faculty.marianopolis.edu/c.belanger/quebechistory/readings/leaving.htm Enjoy! Doreen

1682 - William Penn sailed from England. He later established the colony of Pennsylvania (which, as some of you may know, is now one of the United States) and now stands on top of City Hall in Philadelphia, PA. Not him, really, but a famous statue of him... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

More than 1,000 headstones, taken from the old "Brodno" Jewish cemetery in Warsaw and used to build a pergola and stairs in a local park, are being returned and preserved. Jonny Daniels, executive director of From the Depths, a local Holocaust memorial organisation, said: "After we brought the largest-ever delegation of Israeli lawmakers to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau this January, a Polish journalist contacted me and told me that there is a park in Warsaw which is built using Jewish headstones. I found it hard to believe, but we went there and it was true. "In a very short time I was at the Warsaw mayor's office. I told them that these are headstones of our people, our families. They asked for time to think. "Two weeks later, I was there again and told them that there were two options: we will organise a mass protest every day, or they return the headstones to the cemetery." Two days later, the municipality decided to allocate $160,000 to a plan to return the headstones to Brodno, the largest Jewish cemetery in Warsaw and one of the largest in Europe. It is believed that 300,000 people have been buried there. Currently, however, only 3,000 grave sites exist.
