Editorial & Rédaction
We are starting the fifth year of our online magazine Késsinnimek - Roots - Racines. We have received articles from 40 authors over these past years. As Editor and Publisher, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of them. There is, however, a group of about 10 authors who regularly submit articles of interest to our readers. And these receive a big "Thank you" for their continued participation.
I would like also to thank our readers for their continued interest in our magazine. An email from one of our readers always makes me realize that we are reaching people with our articles.
As this is the beginning of new year, I wish everyone - authors and readers
Here is a listing of our authors and a link to his or her articles:

My family members frequently come into my study while I am editing and preparing this magazine. Several have asked me, "Why do you do this? It's obviously not for the money, since you volunteer your time and website, right?". And they are correct. I do this voluntarily as do all of the authors who have submitted articles for Késsinnimek - Roots - Racines...
Joseph! I had a dream. I really don't understand it, but I think that it was about the celebration of our Son's birthday. I'm sure that's what it was about...Merry Christmas - Joyeux Noël

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family...
If they know of him at all, many folks think Ben Stein is just a quirky actor/comedian who talks in a monotone. He's also a very intelligent attorney who knows how to put ideas and words together in such a way as to sway juries and make people think clearly.
This was sent to me by my cousin Rita Roy Drouin. Thank you, Rita.
This was sent to me in a letter from a dear friend. Thank you, Bill.

A Singer treadle sewing machine sits in our den, a testament to the women who came before me. The date on the throat plate reads 1867, indicating that the machine belonged to Mémère Philippon before Mama made it her own. Over the years, Mama bought two or three portable sewing machines and just as quickly gave them away, always going back to her old reliable Singer. She said that it was like a haltered and harnessed horse waiting at the door, always ready to go.
He was wearing a beaded hat-band, a beautiful beaded bolo tie and a great beaded vest, made with is own hands. They were as impressive as the man himself. He was charming, intelligent, articulate and kind, he was clearly a gentleman and yet he radiated a real strength of body and character. I estimated his age at perhaps fifty; he had passed his 80th year....
I love dogs! When I was born there was a dog in my family home and I have had a dog in my home every since. Currently and for the last ten years my dog and best friend has been Miss Molly! She has marched with me in over 100 parades in support of Democrats, I always decide if I like a politician by how Miss Molly reacts to them and them to her...
Every person who has ever really wanted to get elected and re-elected seems to be bright enough to parade around their family pet! It seems to sell at least a percentage of the population that they are in fact a decent person!...

Arriving in 1617 to a rough, remote trading post on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, the women of the Hebert family, Marie Rollet and her daughters Guillemette and Anne, had to rely on their strength and ingenuity to make a home for themselves and her husband, Louis, and son, Guillaume...

This Christmas , Celestine and I find ourselves in barrio Tagumpay , sub colony of Inagawan, Puerto Princesa City , in my newly built farmhouse - livable now, despite its still uncompleted finer interiors.

We all know about my ancestor Pierre Miville who came across from Switzerland and all which is interesting although very used and somewhat wrung out by different researchers over the years and generations. They settled in the St-Roch-des-Aulnaies/St-Jean-Port-Joli area mostly, even if a few showed up around here in St-Romuald. I have been messing around with a sort of ''tourist research'', meaning I go to their 'bercails'' and bum around cemeteries and ask questions and generally make me look like a tourist, pure laine...

Along the eaves beneath the overhanging roof of the white bungalow that is second to the last building along the tip of Tondreau Point in Harpswell, a blue sign with gold lettering will be attached there, identifying the residence as "Whispering Hope" and welcoming visitors. Visitors who spot it for the first time cannot help but wonder why that residence bears that name...
A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The bedroom door opened swiftly, and my father's voice was heard: "Hurry and get up! You don't want to be late!" I got up, washed my face, brushed my teeth, dressed in my new clothes, hurried down the back stairs, and clambered through the hole in the fence that divided the back yard at 4 Ferguson Place from the back door of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Soon, I had vested in cassock and surplice, and taken my place in the ranks of altar boys who would sit in the choir stalls while older boys served the Solemn High Mass of New Year's Day, which began promptly at 9:00...
La porte de la chambre s'est soudainement ouverte, et la voix de mon père s'est fait entendre : " Vite, lève-toi. Tu ne dois pas arriver en retard ! " Je me lève, je fais ma toilette du matin. Je mets mon nouveau costume de Noël, et je descends deux à la fois les marches des escalier depuis le cinquième étage du 4, Ferguson Place ; je traverse la cour et je me faufile entre les piquets du cloison, pour monter l'escalier qui mène à la sacristie de l'église Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours de Holyoke...
