Good Morning, Debbie, THANKS! This email certainly is interesting. I do have a Anne DESROSIERS b. 12 NOV 1661-Trois-Rivieres and m to JacquesTURCOT b 4 Sep 1652. Parents of Anne are Anne LANEUF DU HERISSON b. abt 1631 m to Antoine DESROSIERS b. 14 Apr 1617 I don't have anything further back except that Anne's father is Michel LANEUF b abt 1600, but I will be reading more about this part of the family--alas, so many members; so little time. Are you a member of the Charlemagne organization? I perused the website--$750 for membership/invitation only/errors on application documentation $150----huummm I don't have copies of the documentation as I haven't researched back that far, so the information comes from Genealogy of Canada--http://nosorigines.qc.ca --but if I wanted to go that route, I could just concentrate on that line. The question from my husband and daughter would be, "Why?" The statement from my genealogical-buddy son, would be, "Let's go for it."

Thanks to everyone for seeing exactly the same thing that I didn't see! Although I knew the bride's name and parents, I really was looking for the true record but the good Curé must have had a bad day to omit the name of the bride. Bertrand was kind enough to include where the actual info can be found so I have the true facts of the marriage of this my 4th great grandparents. Thanks again for all your replies.

DETROIT — Detroit police say vandals caused thousands of dollars in damage to a cemetery in southwest Detroit. The Detroit News reports officers responded Thursday to Woodmere Cemetery, where urns were knocked over and cremated remains spread around. Officer Adam Madera says vandals also spray painted on walls and broke glass. The damage was discovered by a caretaker. Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to contact Detroit police.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A hillside cemetery in Kilbuck holding the remains of more than 1,300 _Dixmont State Hospital_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Dixmo nt+State+Hospital") patients has gone to seed, with some of the numbered concrete markers leaning, toppled or broken and others covered by brush and branches. About 20 miles south, in Collier, as many as 1,000 graves from the Woodville State Hospital campus are in a similar state, a dense tree canopy making it difficult even to walk upright among the neglected markers. As the state has closed hospitals for people with mental illness and centers for people with intellectual disabilities, it has stopped caring for the cemeteries that were part of the sprawling campuses. In some cases, such as a fenced Cecil plot containing about 30 graves from the former _Western Center_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Western+Center" ) complex for people with intellectual disabilities, municipal officials or other parties have taken over maintenance. "We pay right now to have it hand-mowed twice a month," said _Wayne Fleming_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Wayne+Fleming") , executive director of _Washington County Authority_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Washington+Cou nty+Authority") , which bought 216 acres of center land from the state to expand the Southpointe business park. But no one is minding the Woodville or Dixmont sites. "It'?s pretty much abandoned," Collier manager _Sal Sirabella_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1 &inlineLink=1&query="Sal+Sirabella") said of the Woodville cemetery, now owned by the township. Mr. Sirabella estimated the site holds 130 to 150 graves. However, the Rev. _George DeVille_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="George+DeVille") , administrator of Holy Rosary Parish in Cecil Township and former chaplain at _Woodville and Mayview State Hospital_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Woodvill e+and+Mayview+State+Hospital") in South Fayette, said he's certain that there are 1,064 graves at the Woodville cemetery. "I counted them," Father DeVille said. Other states also have abandoned cemeteries as they closed institutions and shifted to community-based care. In some places, government agencies and volunteers are working to restore burial sites, saying it's time to give a measure of dignity to people who were marginalized in life and forgotten in death. "There's no excuse for it not being a priority. On the other hand, we know the mental health system, in general, is starved for resources," said _Bob Carolla_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Bob+Carolla") , spokesman for _National Alliance on Mental Illness_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="National+ Alliance+on+Mental+Illness") . Neither the state _Department of Public Welfare_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&q uery="Department+of+Public+Welfare") , which operated Woodville and Dixmont, nor the state Department of General Services, which oversees state properties, has responded to questions about the dilapidated cemeteries. Nor did they respond to questions about whether the state has records matching the numbered markers with people buried in the graves. The 407-acre Dixmont facility was opened in 1862 and closed in 1984. Its buildings were demolished about a decade ago. The state sold 406 acres to Kilbuck businessman _Ralph Stroyne_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Ralph+Stro yne") , who re-sold about 75 acres for a _Walmart_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&se arch=1&inlineLink=1&query="Walmart") shopping center project that was halted by a landslide. At the last minute, Stroyne said, the state refused to sell him the acre occupied by the cemetery. But other than one half-hearted cleanup several years ago, he said, the state has done nothing with the site. A volunteer cleanup took place in 2007. The cemetery is off an unmarked road that cuts across Stroyne's property. A tattered sign says "Dixmont State Hospital Cemetery." A granite marker says the site holds the remains of 1,300 patients, including war veterans, who died from 1863 to 1937. Beyond, under the trees, are crumbling rows of graves. The rounded concrete markers are about 6 inches wide and a foot tall. In a maintenance building, Stroyne said, he found the forms used to make the markers. He also found a list of those buried. Some of the markers lean, and others have fallen over. One is embedded in a tree trunk. Some lie under branches or other debris. In a couple of cases, the concrete has eroded completely, leaving only two pieces of rebar to mark someone's resting place. Woodville, which opened in the mid-19th century and closed in 1992, was a poorhouse and tuberculosis hospital before it became a hospital for people with mental illness. The cemetery is 100 yards or so past a cul-de-sac in a residential neighborhood. "It'?s just a long forgotten piece of property," said Cecil Township resident _David DeSafey_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="David+DeSafey") , a former state hospital employee who has posted footage of the dilapidated cemetery on YouTube. Developer _Jack Cargnoni_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Jack+Cargnoni") said the cemetery was part of 50 or so acres he deeded to the township for a park about 15 years ago. A granite monument at the edge of a clearing says the cemetery was used from 1867 to 1949. Behind the monument, under the trees, are markers similar in size and condition to those at Dixmont. "It's very, very overgrown," Sirabella said. In the 1980s, at the urging of _Ginny Thornburgh_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1& query="Ginny+Thornburgh") , wife of then-Gov. Dick Thornburgh, the state undertook a spate of cemetery improvements, including the replacement of more than 1,000 numbered headstones at _Polk Center_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&q uery="Polk+Center") in Venango County with markers bearing the names of those buried there. At the time, Thornburgh said she was "haunted" by the numbered graves. But any improvement efforts at Dixmont and Woodville were short lived and did not include replacement of numbered markers. The Woodville chaplain for 28 years, Father DeVille said he could not recall a time when the cemetery was well maintained. At least two former institutional cemeteries are being kept up. South Fayette officials maintain a fenced plot with about 30 numbered graves at Fairview Park. The graves once were part of the Mayview State Hospital complex, which closed about five years ago following a protracted downsizing. Morganza, a reform school, turned into Western Center, which closed in 2000. In purchasing Western Center land for a second phase of the Southpointe business park in Cecil Township, Washington County officials had to agree to maintain the 80-foot-by-60-foot cemetery. "We took a rather proactive and positive attitude," Fleming said, citing plans to make the cemetery more aesthetically appealing. Possible improvements, he said, include a walkway and reflection area. Some of the 28 graves have names on them. The most recent burial was in 1917. Interest in restoring state hospital cemeteries around the country prompted the _U.S. Center_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=searc h&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="U.S.+Center") for _Mental Health Services_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Mental+Health+Services" ) to fund publication of a how-to manual. Carolla said his organization supports restoration efforts but noted that volunteers can face significant challenges in gaining access to the sites, covering project costs and identifying the buried. In Ohio, state officials have awarded grants to groups that want to restore cemeteries. The recipients included a committee that's worked for 14 years to restore and maintain three cemeteries that once were part of a mental hospital in Athens. In all, the group has raised $100,000 in grants and in-kind contributions, allowing the volunteers to clear brush, repair markers, build a nature trail and rebuild a pond. "It's been sort of a release for me to have that project," said longtime volunteer _Tom Walker_ (http://www.mysanantonio.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Tom+Walker") , whose son has a mental illness. Advocates say the clean-ups help to cast a modern light on mental illness. Walker said they're "a stigma buster."

Genevieve Chartier was one of 5 children born to Charles Chartier & Louise Lemaitre, but Genevieve, the only girl was the sole survivor. The male siblings died in infancy. I decided to fill in a few missing pieces for my 5th great grandparents and without too much difficulty found their births, marriage and death info. Looked at "Public Family Trees" on Ancestry for this couple in case I recognized a "Tree". I was astounded to see that many had recorded their births with correct years but placed them in the United States, not in Quebec. Interesting to see how one error begets another! So if you are interested - Augustin Plante & wife Genevieve Chartier who died within a few days of each other a fairly good copy of that info can be found at: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-28023-36589-48?cc=1321742&wc=9RLN-BZS:24139701,24139702,24139703 As for Genevieve Chartier's birth, the copy is quite poor but still can be read with accuracy: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-27972-2617-1?cc=1321742&wc=9RL4-829:17585101,19508101,20558601 So if this is your family and you may have copied something from a Public Family Tree - you might want to amend your records.

He was deceased before 1996. Peggy On Saturday, July 26, 2014 5:06:54 PM, Peggy Gordon <peggyc2sky@yahoo.com> wrote: Gladys Dubois nee Roy died Nov 2, 1996 in Longueuil. Would there be access to her obit to see if it is our Gladys for sure and if she had any children. She was a widow in 1996.
