Hi All, This looks like a very interesting site, I am researching my husbands lines, the surnames are Auger, Champagne, Desilets, Dansereau, LeBlanc, and others I don't remember rt now, I am on a library computer, my own has no internet in the location we are rt now. Anyone can contact me at califmeme@yahoo.com I pick up my email with my phone. Have traced many of the names from Quebec into France but the Dansereau's are giving me an especially bad time. Would love to hear from others researching these lines. Thanks, Lillian

Hello everyone. My grandmother, Paule Anna Maria Bock was born in Mulhouse July 21, 1902. She was the youngest of 9 children born to Martin Bock and his wife Jeanne Francoise Walter. In the early 1920's, Martin, Frances and my grandmother moved to Jackson, Michigan to join 2 of their daughters (Lucie Odile and Julia). Since Mulhouse part of Germany at my grandmother's birth, should I be searching German records or French? I have copies of Lucie's birth certificate; one in French, and one in German.

That looks to be a wonderful event in Michigan. I wish I could be there.

I have put a post on the blog about the French who fought in the American Revolution and how to trace them.

Marlene,

When you have the locations, please put your queries on the discussion for the département in which the ancestor lived. That way, you will have a better chance of responses from people who know that area, I hope.

Just found this group today. It sounds very promising -- I really like it. Will have to check on all my French ancestors for exact places and records of actes.
I shall return! Marlene (LeMere actually was Lemaire ) Rochon

Welcome, Victor! You should have plenty of good records judging by the dates. On this post, I give a list of pages on the web that translate the basic terms in French genealogy:

Hope it can help you.
