My ancestors returned to Nova Scotia some time after the deportation and I was raised there. However, I know some of my ancestors ended up in Massachusetts after "le Grand Dérangement" and I'm wondering if we are related. <br /><br />I have quite a lot of information regarding my father's family, the Robichauds, but would like to know more about my mother's side. Three of my grandparents were LeBlancs.<br /><br />Thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog and visiting your website!<br /><br />Denise RobichaudDenise Robichaudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-80096920393436843222012-07-16T17:03:42.672-04:002012-07-16T17:03:42.672-04:00Bonjour Lucie,

He left Quebec City with his 2nd wife and young daughter and moved to Lawrence, ca 1885. I descend however from his son (from Antoine's first marriage) who remained in Quebec. It appears I do have relations in the Lawrence area! At first I wondered why Antoine would move to Lawrence. I hadn't realized it was such an area for French Canadian emigration. Now I know. <br /><br />Again, this is a lovely site. Thank you.<br /><br />Lynn Perrin AyresLynn Perrin Ayresnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-9977661049167568422012-04-04T05:42:46.156-04:002012-04-04T05:42:46.156-04:00Hi Charles,

To be honest, I've been quite impressed with what I have been finding. The censuses I've been going through were very well written. The names and numbers plus any details included are easy to read.<br /><br />I'm having lots of enjoyment finding family in this census!<br /><br />LucieLucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-77869551712688752302012-04-04T05:40:06.236-04:002012-04-04T05:40:06.236-04:00Hi Heather!

At times I have found family where I didn't expect to on the page with other family. I have also sent copies to others if I found their parents or a parent and grandparents in the census. Like you, I am thoroughly enjoying the search/browsing.<br /><br />Enjoy!!<br /><br />LucieLucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-14029909910369409562012-04-03T22:42:23.203-04:002012-04-03T22:42:23.203-04:00Loved your story!

Someone (no one was checked off as being the reporter) must have given my grandfather's full name "Donald Munroe Wilkinson" and the enumerator wrote down the surname as MUNROE. If I hadn't grown up in the house and recognized the address I wouldn't have figured this one out. I'm glad I was browsing, not using an index, aren't you!Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011504164207885278.post-227351363833066032012-04-03T22:16:13.363-04:002012-04-03T22:16:13.363-04:00Ha.

I remember looking through a city directory, saving various pages to my computer, and I came across an entry in a crap section of town. "Polish families". That's all the person putting the directory wrote in for that address.

Children today don't have the benefit of seeing an enumerator go house to house, so I think your memory of that event is a very special one. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
