INTRODUCTION

This book was compiled to stimulate the interest of
people in their family. Having a complete list of thei~ ances-
tors in direct line from France to Ccmada and to the united-
States, they can now branch out in all directions trying to

attach to their ancestors as ma.ny members o£ their family as
possible. So this book is not an end in itself but a mean to
expand and to extand their family tree up to every individual

member of their family. This is why a few blank sheets of
paper have been added at the end of this book so that other
members who have lived or are still livinq or will be in the
future may be written and kept within the family for generations
to come.

The sources of this book are first the obituaries
taken from newspapers and especially those found in the Lewiston's

SUDS and Journals; also from the three series o~ books of' Brother
, , ;
