At the top of the page on the right hand side it says search Genealogy Wise, this will bring up ALL groups where a surname is mentioned. However attachments like the one I have in the Discussion forum (ie. French-Canadian surnames) will not appear in the search. None of the groups have separate search engines that I know of. Jim.
Is there a way of searching through all these messages for a particular family name without having to read each one of them to find it?
Genealogical Publishing Company recently published the laminated research aid: “Genealogy at a Glance: Michigan Genealogy Research,” by Carol McGinnis. Carol is also the author of the comprehensive book, MICHIGAN GENEALOGY, another of our publications. Also in the “Genealogy at a Glance series” are titles for France and French Canada. Below please find a link to the “Genealogy at a Glance” series.

Hi: I'm new here. My ancestors are Bedard & Lavallee. I have traced both my lines back to France. I am waiting for the 1940's census to find some more recent relations which is much harder, My g grandparents were Francois X Bedard & Domithilde Lavallee.
Hello--or should I say Bon jour! My maiden name is Pleau & am descended from the Pleau's of Trois-Rivieres in Quebec.
1920 US census for St Louis Ward 27, St Louis (Independent City), Missouri, 1662 Goodfellow Ave. : Frederick E MERRIMAN, age 58, born abt 1862 in English Canada, parents born in Eng. Canada, immigrated 1864, naturalized 1897, riveter in iron works; wife Elizabeth (age 52), children Jennie BARRETT (age 29, widdow, daughters Louise, Mary & Helen), Louise MERRIMAN (age 27), Henry MERRIMAN (25), Bernard MERRIMAN (19), John MERRIMAN (13), Florence (7)
I quickly viewed Ancestry and there are records for a Frederick E. Merriman born 1861 or 1862. Janet--do we know if we are looking in Quebec or another province? Do you have any other information--more than his name or birth date?
Good luck in your search
