Researchin the Achins i n Quebec and beyond

I have been curious about my family history for some time.  My mother was 2^nd generation Irish and my father was 3^rd generation French Canadian. Both sides of my family migrated from their ancestral homes and arrived in Western Massachusetts in the late 1800’s.  Part 1 of my research "Searching for Achin" is attached.

Searching for Achin focuses on my father (Elrick Archey Jr.) and his French Canadian ancestors.  Part 1 chronicles the search to find the ancestral origins of my great grandfather Peter Archey and verify his name Archey/Achin/Achim.  It begins in Northern New York State in the mid 1800’s and travels back and forth in time to French Catholic Quebec Canada and France (1615 AD). Part 1 includes my links to the Carignan-Salières Regiment and the Daughters of the King.

Part 2 will document the Archey family as is grows and establishes its roots in Western Massachusetts in the 19^th and 20^th centuries.

Part 3 describes the links of other families to the Achin’s (Giroux, Caille, Sicot, and Séguin).  It includes additional members of the Carignan-Salières Regiment and the Daughters of the King plus a link to Charlemagne.
