  1. One of these days, I hope to get to Canada (after we leave South Korea next November, we will hopefully be in Europe, so I don’t think I’ll see Canada until 2015 or so), and FINALLY do my research ON SITE!

    That includes visiting cemeteries. :)

  3. Mary,
    I just took a quick look at your site and it looks like a great – and growing – project! I like the way you’re mixing records and photographs. I spent yesterday afternoon taking photographs of churchs in the Chateauguay area and it was great fun (although my fingers nearly fell off in the frigid weather!).
    Best wishes,
    Evelyn

  4. Great site..very well done! Interesting articles of our
    history.
    I would like to get in contact with Evelyn, but cannot read
    the little picture of her email address..bad eyes.

    I wish to find out where my Cousin Gervais Macomber was
    laid to rest.
    Thank you.
    Don in Ontario

      sorry about the address being too little – I will see about fixing that!

  5. Would like to find the burial places for the following families, probably in the Quebec area:
    Mageau, Ross, Viau and Vieau

    Note from Evelyn: Answered privately.

  6. My lineup goes back to Marin Boucher who was buried in Chateau Richer,right? What were the burial practices in the 1600′s? Are we to assume they were buried on private property? If I come to QC looking in cemeteries what will I find?

  7. Hello Arlene,

    Unfortunately, you cannot expect much if anything for that period.

    At the earliest and for a long time, people were buried in a consecrated lot next to the church with a simple wood cross for identification. You can guess those have disappeared.

    Some people of importance in the community were buried under the church with or without an engraved stone. Some cemeteries have been moved to a new emplacement as the cemetery had become fully occupied, oftentimes the old cemetery being put to other use.

    The custom of gravestones came much later, most of them carved out of soft limestone, cheap and readily available. The older ones, mid 19th and on are mostly defaced now totally or partially. Granite or marble stones were for richer people but they’ve become popular and common in the early 20th century.

    Thus coming to Quebec only for the gravestones of the early ancestors would be a worthless. For a more contemporary period it could be valuable. Nevertheless, a trip to Quebec to see where your ancestors lived and get more information on site through the local historical societies, family associations, etc., could be a boon to you.

    As the land was early surveyed, you might be able to walk the same soil your ancestors worked.
