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 .Our library is now featuring on-line access to AmericanAncestors.org, the web site of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. With access to thousands of databases,
American Ancestors provides a rich resource for genealogy reseach. Of particular interest is the access to the Massachusetts Vital Records - 1841-1915. Please see

Another 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.

The American Canadian Genealogist
The American-Canadian Genealogist is the official quarterly journal of the American-Canadian Genealogical Society and a major benefit of membership in our society. Regular segments include letters to the editor, messages from the President and the Editor, Book Reviews, From Other Publications, Queries, New Members, Étoile d'Acadie, and our Readers' Forum. Visit our Genealogist web page to find out more about this great member benefit, and download a free sample issue. Back issues are available through our catalog.Publications Department
Our Publications Department has released its 141st publication. Through the department’s tireless efforts, genealogists will benefit from the parish records that have been copied, transcribed, proofread and compiled into well organized repertories. We are releasing many New York repertoires with many hard to find records.Please check our catalog page often for these new offerings.
We have embarked upon a project to go paperless when producing repertoires. We are now copying church records using a digital camera. No longer will we use paper copies to transcribe and proof read the records. The project is progressing smoothly, although there are still a few 'bugs' to work out.
