I’m sharing it with all of you family history bloggers because I know that many of us find it easier to blog about our ancestors’ lives rather than our own. Maybe this will be the inspiration I need to start blogging about the cultural changes that have taken place in my own short  -:)  lifetime.

For students of the  2010 graduating class …..

The Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables.
They have never used a card catalog to find a book.
Salsa has always outsold ketchup.
Tattoos have always been very chic and highly visible.
Rap music has always been main stream.
Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream has always been a flavor choice.
Text has always been hyper.

Festival Participants

Along with a reminder that the deadline is 5 days away, I wanted to let everyone know that – due to other demands on my time – this will be the last time that you can participate in the Festival of Postcards.

Call For Submissions: Festival of Postcards (9th Ed.) – Locomotion

I have absolutely LOVED publishing the Festivals. I’ve learned so much about postcards from the  many entries by  deltiologists and I’ve really enjoyed seeing the different creative ways that family and local historians weave postcards into their work. I know that many of us have also made a lot of new acquaintances along the way and I will really miss that.

In fact, if anyone who has participated in one of the Festivals would like to take on the project, I would be delighted to pass it on to you (along with the official Blog Carnival registration) and give you any support you may need!  There will be a 10th Festival published by December which will serve as an Index to the first nine, so if you’re interested in hosting the Festival then you would need to be available by January/February 2011.

Thanks!

This just in!

More details to follow!

“… Irish Grandmother was married to a Mounty of that name living in Caughnawaga.(1920′s) I believe they had 2 sons. I believe one died and she left her husband, took the surviving child Thomas and returned to live in Scotland. a few years later the Mounty died (I think Joseph was his name) and she remarried. Ring any bells with anyone?”

We have already found some pieces of evidence that corroborate this story – which will be shared in a second post – but for today we are publishing an outline of their Favreau family tree  because Linda and her husband would love to correspond with other Favreaus who are even distantly related to her husband – or with residents of Kahnawake who may know something about the Favreaus’ involvement in Caughnawaga.

Their direct line Favreau line is  in italic and highlighted in green. You can find the most recent connection by scrolling down directly  to the FIFTH GENERATION  – no. 30 Adelard Favreau and Margaret Rainey.

Favreaus with a connection to Kahnawake through temporary residence or by marriage – are  in italic and highlighted in blue. They are in the 4th, 5th and 6th generations.
