10 day alert!!! Calling All Acadians/French-Canadians Within Reach of Manchester, New Hampshire
In case you’re new to American/Acadian/French-Canadian genealogical research, I wanted to mention that the
American-Canadian Genealogical Society
is having its Fall Conference next Saturday, September 26th, 2009.
I’m in Montreal and have never been able to make it down there, but the calibre of speakers tells me it must be a great event!
The first I’d like to mention is my friend Lucie LeBlanc Consentino (Acadian Ancestral Home) who will speak on “Who Were The Acadians? Where Did They Resettle Post Exile? Does DNA or mtDNA Help To Prove Their Origins?”.
The second is Peter J. Gagne (originally of Connecticut, but now living in Quebec) a professional historian, archivist and published author who will be speaking about “Les Filles a Marier”.
Last, but not least, is professional genealogist Melinde Lutz Sanborn. She’s editor/co-editor of several genealogical publications and will be speaking on the topic of “Forensic Genealogy”.

A Festival of Postcards (5th Ed.) Quadrupeds – Call for Submissions
It’s Festival Time Again!
The next edition of A Festival of Postcards is dedicated to QUADRUPEDS.
Quadrupeds? That’s right! From working animals (like oxen and horses) to pets (like cats and dogs) to wild animals (lions and tigers and bears, oh my!) – we’re looking for postcards about anything that walks on 4 legs!
As always, feel free to play with the theme – your postcard doesn’t have to include an actual animal as long as you find a way to connect to the theme of quadrupeds. Read more »

This is a historic black and white image of the Monument du S. Coeur which is located in Roberval (Lac St-Jean) Quebec. The inscription “1918″ tells me it’s probably a WWI memorial.
