Research Collaboration with the Vermont French-Canadian Genealogical Society
Research Collaboration with the Vermont French Canadian Genealogical Society
We are pleased to announce a collaborative research agreement between the
American-Canadian Genealogical Society in Manchester NH and the Vermont
French-Canadian Genealogical Society in Burlington VT. This effort should help
to break down your "brick walls” involving ancestors that migrated between New
Hampshire, Vermont and Canada. Research services are available through our
organization at http://acgs.org/research/
and at the Vermont French Canadian Genealogical Society at
http://www.vt-fcgs.org/research.html . The Vermont Society has been
very active in preserving Vermont Diocesan records. Visit
http://www.vt-fcgs.org/diocese_pres_vct27feb2004.html for more details.
BMS2000 Available at our library
Thanks to the generosity of one of our members, BMS2000, a great research aid
for Quebec Province marriages, baptisms and burials is available free of charge
to our members at the library. The website contains the databases used to
create many of the repertories offered by various Quebec genealogy societies.
For more information go to www.BMS2000.org

Wireless Internet Access
We've recently made wireless internet access available to our patrons in the
library. Many of our members enjoy the convenience of combining both
on-line and in-library research resources. Our thanks to the computer
committee for providing this feature.
Fall Conference
We had yet another interesting and successful fall conference. Here are
a few pictures taken at the conference. Keep checking back for our

Correction:
The transcriber entered Francois Pellerin dit Baron
under BARON rather than PELLERIN. It should be entered under PELLERIN.
The transcriptions show Francois Pellerin's mother as
Euphrosine Pelletier, where in fact, it should be Victoire Pelletier;
The transcriber shows Francois Pellerin's family as
coming from St. Roch where in fact he was from Riviere-Ouelle;
The transcriber shows the bride Olive Leclerc's family
as coming from Riviere-Ouelle whereas they were from St-Basile.
Source: St-Basile Parish Registers, f. .25, M.4 in the
Drouin database.
These errors were brought to light because of the better
access to parish registers that is available today. Our apologies to those
who were mislead by these errors. Our thanks to Lucie and Steven White for
the corrections.
