Dear
Librarians –We are seeking Family Stories and no doubt there are a great many
member stories in our group especially during these eras: The Great Migration era (1620-1640); Native
American life; Steam Engine Industrial Era (1870-1950); Wagon Trail Migration
(1750-1870); Ports of Entry (18th-19th C.); Descendants of the Colonies of New France or Viceroyalty of
New Spain (16th-17th C.)
Do consider adding your ancestor's story to our Connection Project.
This
Connection Project will be featured
during our Spring Seminar on Memorial Weekend and the project seeks to document a family
member’s connection to the above eras via written story, photos, artifacts or
published books. If you have a story to
share, let me know. Marcia
Pictured below are my 2 great grandparents and their lives have consumed my attention lately as it appears that Marie Louise Chartier Fittinger's uncle or great uncle was a Canadian voyageur. Possibly a Hudson Bay Company connection? There is certainly more to learn in uncovering the depths of this family story.
