Seeking a Family Story

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 (18^th-19^th C.); Descendants  of the Colonies of New France or Viceroyalty of New Spain (16^th-17^th 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.
