Editorial
As I indicated in last month's Editorial, I've wondered over the past few months whether I should cease publication of the magazine. Then, I receive emails such as these:
Rédaction
Souvent, je pense que je terminerai la parution de notre ezine. Et puis, je reçois un courriel, tel que celui-ci:
What a fantastic website, I've spent hours reading all your information. I have been doing research on my husband's family, Mousseau. So far there has been no fruit from my labour, the only info I have is that his Gr. Grandfather was Jeremie Mousseau, born in Canada. No living relatives either! I have been feeling very very discouraged but you have inspired me to continue with my search. Thank you for sharing your ancestry.

Oh, my goodness...what a wealth of wonders this issue
holds! You can cut back to an issue every other
month, but you simply cannot stop publication
altogether! We all need you.
Amities,

Bonjour Normand,
Je sais que c'est beaucoup de travail mais c'est très apprécié. Lorsque je recoit le e-mail, je suis contente. J'ai toujours hate de le recevoir. Tu sais l'information sur les métis est très rare. Je suis en train d'écrire un texte sur les métis du Québec et ton site en est un qui m'aide beaucoup.
Félicitation et bon travail

Monsieur,
Sans aucun doute vous avez beaucoup de mérite pour le
temps que vous consacrez à la parution de votre
Kessinnimek mensuel. Pour ma part, chaque mois internet
m'avise via e-mail et religieusement je vérifie le
contenu mes intérets étant surtout histoire et
généalogie et bien sûr, j'ai enregistré la plupart des
écrits de madame Sommerville . Le jour où vous
déciderez de discontinuer privera, c'est certain,
beaucoup de lecteurs intéressés. N'y a-t-il pas dans
vos proches un que vous pourriez intéresser à assurer
votre relève? Vous n'êtes pas éternel. Il est de plus
regrettable qu'il n'y ait pas beaucoup de publicité de
votre revue bien des Québecois auraient avantage à
vous lire. Bonne santé.
Note: Espérant que mon francais ne vous est pas trop difficile.

In MemoriamOn August 21, 2007, Maurice Dubrule, cherished husband of Louise Dubrule, one of our authors, passed to his reward in heaven.
He was affectionately called "Moe" by his family and friends.
He was a very humble man who gave very much to his family, to his friends and to his country.May he rest in Peace with Our Creator and all his departed family and friends in heaven.
Recently we introduced our granddaughter to the classic film “Fiddler on the Roof.” In the final scenes, the Jewish residents of a tiny Russian village were evicted, given just three days to gather their belongings and leave for good. This time I was focused on what the people chose to take with them:...
Founded in 1604, the French colony of Acadian was ceded to Great Britain in 1713. By the time the Anglo-French Struggle for North America was finally resolved, the Acadians were among its most visible and most tragic victims. During the period 1755-63, most of the Acadians were deported to the American colonies, Great Britain, and France. In exile, the Acadians exhibited remarkable tenacity as they tried to return to Nova Scotia or else searched for new homelands...

As a former military wife, I find this story interesting: "...his service, which included a year's stint in Iraq, was devoted, not to any particular military policy, but to the people who are charged with carrying out the decisions of the government." ..
Jack Kerouac's spirit is back at home in Lowell, Mass., with the national touring scroll exhibit of his "On the Road" manuscript. It's worth the drive down Route 495, to see historic Lowell and witness this antique classic piece of American literature, up- close and Kerouac-personal.
This wonderful piece by Michael Gartner, editor of newspapers large and small and president of NBC News and who in 1997, he won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing was found on the Friends-List...
I was born and raised as a Catholic boy by two very devout Catholics who shared equally their love for me and my sister and also the responsibilities and duties of a Catholic home. Mother and father - woman and man - were equal in all their family activities. This equality of female and male truly influenced my life...
There were two messages posted on the Quebec-Research List on RootsWebthat I would like to share with you. Both Jackie and Fran gave permission for me to post their thoughts in our magazine. Thank you Jacqie and Fran
Fr. Ronald Veigas of the St. Francis Xavier Mission Parish in Kable, southwest India, came to the United States to preach a mission appeal for financial help for his poor parishioners. He did so in the dioceses of St. Louis and Cleveland. While visiting our family in August, he celebraed a special Mass at the Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Church here in Exeter, Rhode Island for all the people - family and friends - who have supported and continue to support his mission work. There are photos of the Mission Progress and of the Special Mass on our updated website (go to the link above). We are asking for your financial help if possible for his continuing mission work. We thank you in advance.
He visited with us in 2005. There are photos of this visit on the website listed above.
I live on the beautiful Cache La Poudre River in rural Larimer County Colorado and I love it here! I have never fished this river with my kid brother Joe, but I remember fly fishing with him over 40 years ago on Hauser Lake in Northern Idaho! It takes two men to make one brother, and I consider the word "brother" a special honor and label that I love. I love being a big brother much more than being a little one...

Nature was both the friend and foe of the French-Canadian voyageur, as he paddled his canoe along the waterways of North America. The voyageur, an agent for the French government in Canada, met with native Americans at designated places to exchange European goods for fur pelts. He then returned to Montreal or Quebec with a canoe laden with the furs of beaver and mink...
A question often asked on internet genealogy help lists, such as RootsWeb's Quebec-Research, is the meaning of the French word ondoyement. A baptism record sometimes reports that a baby or even an adult had been "ondoyer" at birth by a lay person (or, indeed, by a priest who did not, however, perform the additional ceremonies at that time.) Anyone can baptize, even non-Catholics, by using ordinary water sprinkled on the recipient while these words are said: I baptize you in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, and in the name of the Holy Spirit...
Lola Helen is Celestine's true grandmother, the mother of Celestine's deceased father , Cecilio ( Boyette). She is 85 years old , remarkably straight-bodied ( which made Lucy comment how she still walked sexy). Blinded by cataract for years , but now recovered by an operation , she can now see sufficiently .
Let's put the apparently ":crazy" scribblings of Jack Kerouac in perspective. He is one manifestation of the artistic 'zeitgeist' of the immediate Post WWII period...
A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notfied and grieved deeply for his only son.
