Champlain travelled throughout the region, now known as Huronia, and created historically accurate maps and drawings as well as valuable descriptions of people, places and details of this time period.
In honour of this historical event, the Orillia Public Library will immerse visitors in the past, helping them dive into the history of native and French-Canadian culture by hosting a three-day event (Aug. 14 from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Aug. 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Aug. 17 from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

French-Canadian Descendants Reunion
MONROE, Michigan.— Superintendent Scott J. Bentley announced today that River Raisin National Battlefield Park will be hosting the French-Canadian Descendants Reunion on Sunday, August 16, 2015, from noon until 4:00 pm.
Guests are asked to bring a dish to pass, their genealogy, family trees, and any family traditions or recipes. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Sandy Vanisacker by email at svanisacker@yahoo.com
River Raisin National Battlefield Park preserves, commemorates, and interprets the January 1813 battles of the War of 1812 and their aftermath in Monroe and Wayne counties in Southeast Michigan. The Battles of the River Raisin resulted in the greatest victory for Tecumseh’s Confederation and the greatest defeat for the United States during the War of 1812. Although American forces were victorious in the first battle, the second ended in what was described as a “national calamity” by then General William Henry Harrison, and later President of the United States. The battle cry, "Remember the Raisin!" inspired a massive U.S. victory at the Battle of the Thames, which sealed the War of 1812 in the western theater for the U.S., claimed the life of the great Shawnee leader Tecumseh, and resulted in the end the American Indian Confederation. The Aftermath of the Battles resulted in the implementation of Indian removal from the Northwest Territory at the conclusion of the War of 1812, an aftermath that continues to influence the United States today.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ANY OF THESE ANCESTRAL LINES?
Recently, I have gathered together all the information I currently have on the descendants of many of our common ancestral families, and have created a number of fully indexed electronic .pdf files on each. My goal is to distribute this information as widely as possible among the various branches of the family, so it is not lost to future descendants after we're all long gone. These e-documents, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand descendants in each, contain any descendants of that ancestral family (whether they carry that family surname or not) who appear in my 525,000+ person family master file.
Current editions of these e-documents are free to request, use, copy, and share with anyone interested. If you'd like copies of any of these, contact me by email at: paul@lareau.org , give me an email address where you want them sent, and I will send them to you via "WeTransfer", a computer-safe app for transferring electronic files too large to attach to an email. One warning, .pdf files must be downloaded onto a regular PC, as most mobile devices cannot read them. Also, no guarantees. These are not complete, comprehensive, genealogies of these families, they are simply those descendants of these particular ancestral familes that happen to be connected, so far, to my own genealogy.

My 3rd great grandmother is Elizabeth Dent born about 1800 in Montreal, Quebec. She married a British soldier William Shooter (bap. 30 Apr 1786 Tibshelf, Derbyshire, England) on 30 June 1819 in Quebec City. Days later their first son Samuel Shooter was born at sea on 6 July 1819 as William and Elizabeth sailed to England. Elizabeth died on 29 April 1871 in Codnor, Derbyshire after having eleven children.
I would like to know more about Elizabeth - in particular whether she was French Canadian, British-Canadian, or some other origin. Could Dent be a French-Canadian name? - I know that Dent could be derived from the French for "tooth".
Any help would be really greatly appreciated. I am so very proud to have Canadian connections - whatever ethnic flavour that may be. I was in Canada, in Quebec City and Montreal, in 2000 before I knew about the connection.
Regards
Mark
