WATERVLIET -- Four pillars in the St. Nicholas Ukrainian Church Cemetery in Watervliet were knocked down by vandals. The pastor of the church says several gates were also damaged. Some parishioners speculate that the vandalism was prompted by the recent violence in Ukraine, but the pastor says he would rather think it's mischief from young people. The church has yet to get an estimate for repairs, but says it could be as much as 2,000.Watervliet cemetery vandalized

New Updates for October 2014 Posted: 8 Jul 2014 7:03PM GMT Classification: Query I was just doing a search within Family Tree Maker 2014 and received this message in the program browser... "We’re making updates that may impact your Ancestry experience. Certain features on Ancestry will have reduced functionality or may not be supported when using Internet Explorer 8 or 9.

Too bad so sad go buy a newer version of Windows? Can anyone shed some light on this? I don't think it's a way to make happy customers. I bought the software and pay a lot of money for an Ancestry.com subscription. A better update for FTM 2014 would be to divorce Bill Gates and Microsoft and integrate Google Chrome and Maps into the program. Please can anyone from Ancestry offer further information?

What do you mean October? For weeks now I go to Drouin and type in a name I know is there and NOTHING. If my money doesn't buy the full package they can give the remainder back and I will not be signing up again either. I'm getting tired of my computer being the guiding force of my life by limiting my ability by the computer I own. If it's online you should be able to get it. That's all the rant I have. I am definitely thankful I did most the hard way (in a book). I only have a few that just don't appear to exist. I've made piece with it. LOL. Time to write the book, make the movie and spend the rest of my life on a beach in Tahiti. Peggy Large UE I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead Thanks to Jimmy Buffett!

Hi I hope the group does not mind me asking. Is there anyone here that follows the Civil War enactments. I am looking to figure out where a relative is buried. To do this I will need help from some one who can help me figure this out and hopefully has a rooster to track him down. Thank you Annette

Police in Gaston County are stepping up patrols at two cemeteries after vandals struck this weekend. More than a dozen grave sites were damaged, including one with historical significance for people living in Gaston County. Eyewitness News reporter Dave Faherty learned the vandalism has hit the Stanley community hard. Church members are keeping an eye on the cemetery, which dates back to the late 1800s. Church member James Wright said one grave site is of the last slave born in Gaston County. "That's the oldest. That's a slave marker right there," Wright said. The marker, along with 12 others, was knocked over or damaged at two cemeteries next to each other. They belong to Springfield Baptist and Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church in Stanley. "I was devastated to see someone with so much hate in them to push over a tombstone like that,” Wright said. “It hurts you inside to see someone do something like that." Valerie McCain has been a member at Springfield Baptist all her life. She said her grandparents along with several aunts and uncles are buried here. "I don't see how an individual could have a heart and do something like that,” McCain said. “If it was their family, I'm sure they wouldn't want anybody disrupting the grave site" Some of the markers damaged belong to veterans who fought during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Wright said his faith allows him to forgive the people who are responsible but only if they come forward. "If they get help, sure, I can forgive them, but they need to stand up and admit what they have done," he said. Gaston County authorities are hoping someone driving by the cemetery on Hickory Grove Road saw something over the weekend and will give them a call. Anyone with information should contact the Gaston County Police Department at 704-866-3320 or Crime Stoppers 704-861-8000.

I was on vacation and just found this interesting email. I found one of my ancestors Pierre Rouillard dit St. Cyr on the index BTW-E 37,38; BTW-F 456 and DM 208, is there any way you can tell me what it is he did or where I can obtain the books? Thanks, Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: quebec-research@rootsweb.com To: yakumo1107@aim.com, QUEBEC-RESEARCH@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2014 6:41:10 AM Subject: Re: [Q-R] Index to French Canadian Revolutionary War Patriots If you find your ancestors in the index and you would like to know what they did, I'm happy to tell you. However, the book "Quebec During the American Invasion 1775-1776," which is the English translation of the BTW journal written in 1776, is very interesting and well worth the money. Jesse - The journal states "Laurent Audet dit Lapointe and Louis Colombe went to the rebels' (Americans') camp this winter and always praised their actions. They played a significant role in last fall's rebellion. At that time, they stood guard in front of the church and at Trou St Patry. They convinced the habitants to follow their example, fearing, so they claimed, that the town's garrison would come to burn their parish." Augustin Blais (1749-p1804), son of Augustin, is simply noted as a "bad subject" by the British (which means he supported the Americans.)

What roles did they play in the war? They appear varied but as you said, "most of them never left Quebec." From what I gather, the Americans came to Canada for aid. The government was cracking down on them. Some of the people of Quebec gave them food and shelter. Some of them joined the war? It took me hours to go through the family tree looking for names and I came across three in my tree: Augustin Blais, Laurent Audet and his brother-in-law Louis Columbe. Maybe I'll just have to order the book to find out exactly what they did. ha ha Jesse -----Original Message----- From: quebec-research <quebec-research@rootsweb.com> To: QUEBEC-RESEARCH <QUEBEC-RESEARCH@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sat, Jul 12, 2014 4:41 pm Subject: [Q-R] Index to French Canadian Revolutionary War Patriots Some of you may be interested in this index of over 500 French Canadian Revolutionary War patriots from Quebec that appear in the Baby, Taschereau, and Williams journal written in 1776.
