Well done! Very interesting reading. I think the front-end was all that really needed editing, as the rest seems to be a direct transcription. So all is well. What would be wonderful is to put in photos of these people. We have many of napoleon as you know, and many of the others. They could be added where they are mentioned in the geneology. The one of Napoleon, marie and their daughters and son would be a good one, as it really shows how the women were the clothes lovers. Just a thought.

If people have any spelling corrections, etc for one of Theod and Obeline’s children there is a discrepancy between the above, and the church records, as transcribed in the 1846-2004 Birth & Death records. Above it says: iii. VIOLETTE TURGEON, b. 1914, Calumet Island; d. 17 Apr 1915, Calumet Island. But the book says: Marie Florida (Viola)B. 24-03-1915 D. 17-04-1915.

The book sounds more correct to me, as Mum always referred to her as Florida, and told a story of how she was left in her cradle, in a very drafty room, with little to no covering. She apparently caught cold and died – possibly of pneumonia, I would think. Apparently Grandma Obeline always felt very badly about that, as it didn’t have to happen.

I always found it interesting that the next daughter was called Viola.

Regarding Marie Theresa, Mum said she was lively and a really sweet little girl, but was born with a heart condition, so while lively, was never as robust as the others. Of course the fall didn’t help.

The evening she died she apparently told obeline that that night she was going to be speeping with her mother in Heaven. Mum said that story always gave everyone the feeling that Theresa was a very special child.

Oh – and for my Mum, would you be kind enough to add ’19, March, 2007 re her death. And Leo’s name, just for the record, is Joseph Francis (Leo) Beauchamp. They were both very proud of the full name…..

That’s it for now – loved the story and the geneology. Do hope you can add photos over the next years….. That will really make the Geneology part come to life – as well as put faces to the characters in the story.

LOVE the opening photo. That is fabulous!!! Just an afterthought, the photos of the main characters could be added in the introduction – with others in the geneology part…..

Cheers and BRAVO!!! Well done Mike, Justin and everyone else involved. Also, many thanks for your kind words with respect to my small contribution.
