At the top of the page on the right hand side it says search Genealogy Wise, this will bring up ALL groups where a surname is mentioned. However attachments like the one I have in the Discussion forum  (ie. French-Canadian surnames) will not appear in the search. None of the groups have separate search engines that I know of. Jim.

Is there a way of searching through all these messages for a particular family name without having to read each one of them to find it?

Genealogical Publishing Company recently published the laminated research aid: “Genealogy at a Glance: Michigan Genealogy Research,” by Carol McGinnis. Carol is also the author of the comprehensive book, MICHIGAN GENEALOGY, another of our publications. Also in the “Genealogy at a Glance series” are titles for France and French Canada. Below please find a link to the “Genealogy at a Glance” series.

Hi: I'm new here.  My ancestors are Bedard & Lavallee.  I have traced both my lines back to France.  I am waiting for the 1940's census to find some more recent relations which is much harder,  My g grandparents were Francois X Bedard & Domithilde Lavallee.

Hello--or should I say Bon jour!  My maiden name is Pleau & am descended from the Pleau's of Trois-Rivieres in Quebec.

Canada, immigrated 1864, naturalized 1897, riveter in iron works; wife Elizabeth (age 52), children Jennie BARRETT (age 29, widdow, daughters Louise, Mary & Helen), Louise MERRIMAN (age 27), Henry MERRIMAN (25), Bernard MERRIMAN (19), John MERRIMAN (13), Florence (7)

Comment by Terri Mercier on February 26, 2012 at 4:55pm

I quickly viewed Ancestry and there are records for a Frederick E. Merriman born 1861 or 1862.  Janet--do we know if we are looking in Quebec or another province?  Do you have any other information--more than his name or birth date?

Good luck in your search
