I am currently working on a family history for my wife, the Paradis and Duval's. I'm interested in and willing to collaborate with others interested in those two families.

Bonjour Tremblay cousins! There's a new exhibit at the Rendez-vous at Ste. Anne Parish de Detroit this year! We are dedicating a tent to "Our Families, Our Stories." Organizers are looking for people to create tabletop displays about your French Canadian, Metis or Native American family. I am doing one on my Vaillancourt side of my family which will show my connection to Benoit Tremblay, but the main story will be on my other line. Since there are so many Tremblays, it would be great to have the family represented. In this tent we will also have cards on cords for people to write their surnames, and then they can wear the cards during the festival. This will make it pretty easy to connect with cousins. If you are interested in creating a display, private message me and I'll give you more information. The Rendez-vous will be held September 22 and 23, 2018, timed to coincide with French Canadian Heritage Week in Michigan. I am especially interested in displays which would feature the migration of the Tremblays from Quebec to Detroit to the founding of Bay City, Michigan. Thank you!"

I plan on being there the 22nd with info on the TREMBLAY family - Jim.

Members of the Reseau francophone numerique (RFN) [Francophone Digital Network], including Library and Archives Canada (LAC), issued a news release yesterday to announce they had unveiled a new digital library at their annual general meeting in Brussels on April 26. The French-language Bibliotheque numerique du RFN website includes more than a thousand records from the heritage collections of ten Francophonie member nations and states.

A quick look at the Amerique- section, representing the Americas and the Caribbean, reveals digitized documents by Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain, an early 18th-century document about the laws and constitutions in the French colonies in America, and maps.

@ Jayne Ireland,

I agree with you Jayne, in the first place, the original "Acadians" were spoken of within the Jesuit Relations books, and when they (the Jesuits) referred to them they in many cases were talking about the children born of the french and n8tv marriages.  I've spent years doing this research and have located numerous references and marriages of french and n8tv..within many many records of the old forts, Jesuits, churches etc, But the fact still remains...that their are "groups" of ppl whom don't want these marriages listed, seen or known about.  When I first lost my original data, from a puter crash, I went to a distant cousin online, and asked if I could get a copy from him, to restart all my genealogy thru grandparent lines he and I shared. He gave me it happily, and I was very grateful..but this is where it changed and opened my eyes..I told him I was having a hard time locating any documents of mixed marriages within the Quebec and Acadie areas didn't know where to find the records of the ones of n8v descent.  He informed me, there was NO NDN in our Families at ALL and that we were of PURE FRENCH BLOOD LINES..this was his exact words..then he went on to say, it was impossible, as their HAD NEVER BEEN ANY NDNS IN the QUEBEC< ACADIE< of LAPRAIRIE regions!  again..his words.  So I dropped it, and went to researching on my own again.  THis year I actually came across something else disturbing...Membership into one of the N.Eastern Seaboard Genealogical Societies, REQUIRES that researchers will NEVER post, SHARE or give out ANY INFO of CHILDREN born that are ILLEGITEMATE in particular within the LAST 100 years.  now.. I was floored when I read this..BECAUSE their were many many Country Marrgs and Ntv marrgs..meaning.. if common lawed married..guess what..they won't show you give you or help you find the infos, and if you join to get to the infos..they have you signing a doc that says..you won't share it or show it!  hows that for another way to keep infos outta the spotlight
