RHODE ISLAND'S FRANCO-AMERICANS IN OUR PLURALISTIC SOCIETY '

by Professor Paul P. ChasscS,

EDITOR'S NOTE: What follows is the text of a talk given by Professor Paul P. Chass4 of Rhode Island College to Le Foyer of Pawtucket, RI, in which he mentions Gov.- Aram Pothier, "La Sentinelle," and Franco- Americans in the Civil War, all subjects which have been covered at length in previous issues of Je me souviens: "Aram Pothier as Gover- nor of Rhode Island" by John Veader (Autumn 1991), "Survivance: A Franco-American Obsession" by Larry Poitras (Winter 1990) and "Rhode Island's Franco-Americans in the Civil War" by Paul Delisle (Spring 1992).

Psychoanalysts today f i n d t h a t modern man, espec ia l l y i n the Uni ted States, s u f f e r s from an acute case o f a l iena- t ion , i n s e c u r i t y and anx ie ty due t o a complete loss o f or , a t l eas t , a d iminut ion o f h i s i d e n t i t y and t h i s , seemingly, because we l i v e i n a soc ie ty o r a c u l t u r e which a f fo rds us no 'Ipause f o r t rans i t i on1 I , no i n te rm iss ion from t h i s great American one-act p lay i n which we are asked t o assume a mul- t i t u d e o f soc ia l ro les, no t ruce i n the rat- race where a man can suspend l i f e , i f on ly f o r a moment, t o ask h imse l f the elementary questions lead ing t o s e l f - i d e n t i f i c a t i o n and t o a subsequent bas ic s t a t e o f seren i ty : who am I? where am I going? do I belong?

This evening i s one o f these precious l u l l s i n l i f e which you, members and associates o f Le Foyer o f Pawtucket, have r i g h t f u l l y selected f o r such an appraisal o f the s e l f w i t h the comfort ing and indispensable c u l t u r a l re inforce- ment from w i thou t which t h i s exh i l a ran t gather ing a f fo rds t o each o f you i n d i v i d u a l l y and t o a l l c o l l e c t i v e l y . May I i n s e r t here my personal g r a t i t u d e t o you f o r shar ing t h i s moment w i t h you as I, too, ponder the same quest ion you do and seek an answer t h a t w i l l s t rengthen w i t h i n me these very tenets which have brought me much happiness, p r i d e and cour- age i n the d a i l y s t rugg les i n which a l l e thn ics must i n v a r i - ably engage.

Who am I ? I s t h i s n o t a quest ion we ask ourselves con- t i nuous ly i n a p l u r a l i s t i c soc ie ty such as ours? Students are f requen t l y confused i n t h e i r a l legiances: how, they ask, can they reconc i l e t h e i r Franco-American background w i t h the exigencies o f appearing t o be a "genuine American1I, meaning, o f course, t h a t they should d i spe l a l l t races o f t h e i r French Canadian ancestry i n speech, behavior and a t t t t udes? The o ther day, a col league o f mine from URI requested me t o g i ve him a d e f i n i t i o n o f a FRANCO-AMERICAN and I cou ldn ' t he lp bu t r e c a l l a b r i e f encounter i n Kentucky, l a s t January, and the eloquent answer t h i s young man had provided.

I was on my way t o the men's room when I saw a man o f twenty th ree o r four come ou t o f t he l a d i e s t room. Teasingly, I asked him about h i s eyesight and he laughed, saying h i s w i f e was i n there w i t h t h e i r s i ck c h i l d and he was checking on them. I walked i n t o shave and he went about h i s business before asking me how t o get t o a c e r t a i n p lace i n Georgia s ince he cou ldn ' t f i n d a map a t s i x i n the morning. I t o l d

him I had one i n my car and would g i ve i t t o him as soon as I f i n i s h e d shaving. He volunteered t h a t he was not from the area bu t t h a t he was being t rans fe r red from Ohio down South and t h a t he r e a l l y was from N.H. I t o l d him I was, too. H e s i t a t i n g l y , he continued: "I tm Canadian. You wouldn' t be, too, would you?" I r e p l i e d i n French t h a t I was and t o l d him my name. A l l b a r r i e r s went down. I n an i ns tan t , he was p u t t i n g h i s arm around my neck and spu t te r i ng exc i ted l y , i n French: "Eh Cr iss ! Am I g lad t o see you! I haven't spoken French i n over two years, no t s ince I l a s t spoke w i t h my fa the r i n Manchester before coming ou t here t o work. You don ' t mind i f I t a l k to..you f o r a whi le, do you? Cr iss ! I t ' s so good t o see you! Imagine: two Canucks from N. H. i n Tennessee! I j u s t can ' t be l i eve my eyes! My w i f e doesn't speak French, bu t y o u ' l l want t o meet her, eh? S h e ' l l be j u s t as exc i ted as me t o meet you. Cr iss ! What d i d I do t o God t o deserve t h i s ? Do you know, t h i s i s the best t h i n g t h a t ' s happened t o me s ince my w i f e and I l e f t N. H.!" And on and on. Unbeknown t o him, t h i s young techn ic ian had given me i n the f l e s h the very answer I was seeking: A Franco-American i s someone who recognizes h i s French Canadian ancestra l and cu l - t u r a l background, comes t o terms w i t h i t , and proceeds t o func t i on proper ly w i t h i n our marvelous compet i t i ve patchwork soc ie ta l complex.

I s t h i s no t exac t l y what Mike Novak was seeking when he was c r i t i c i z i n g American co l leges and u n i v e r s i t i e s f o r no t p rov id ing e t h n i c students w i t h a deeper apprec ia t ion o f t h e i r he r i t age and a l l o f i t s ram i f i ca t i ons w i t h i n t h e i r l i v e s ins tead o f sec re t l y teaching them a d i sda in and shame f o r the manner i n which t h e i r grandparents thought, acted and f e l t ? Was he not expressing the same need we a l l share when, i n h i s a r t i c l e White Ethn ic (Harper's, Sept. '71), he s ta ted most e m p h a t i c a l 1 y : T t I should l i k e t o do i s come t o a b e t t e r and more profound knowledge o f who I am, whence my c m u n i t y came, and whi ther my son and daughter, and t h e i r c h i l d r e n ' s ch i ld ren, might wish t o head i n the fu ture : I want t o have a history.

Our h i s - t o r y began four hundred and f i f t years ago t h i s spring, back i n 1523 when Louise de Savoie, tKe mother o f Francoi s l e r , had P i g a f e t t a ' s account o f h i s t r i p around the wor ld w i t h Magellan t rans la ted i n t o French.

One hundred and f i f t y years l a t e r , i n 1673, New France boasted such centers as ~ u k b e c , ~ o n t r k a l and Trois- ~ i v i & r e s and i t s t re tched a l l the way from Acadia t o Michigan, I l l i n o i s and Ohio; i t had i t s own col lkge, hosp i ta ls , sdrn- i n a i r e , and a bishop, Francois de Montmrency-Laval, whose name matched those o f o ther i l l u s t r i o u s men l i k e Champlain, Maisonneuve, Frontenac, Jean Talon, La Sa l le , Radisson, ~ r k b o e u f , Du Lhut and Charles Le Moyne, fa the r o f twelve sons, seven o f whom became famous explorers o r war r io rs , w d the names o f courageous women l i k e Marguer i te Bourgeoys, Jeanne Mance, Mar ie de l l l n c a r n a t i o n and Madame de l a P e l t r i e .

A century l a t e r , the f a t e o f a French empire i n Canada was sealed: an enemy o f super ior s t rength and the conspiracy o f t r a i t o r s ec l ipsed a g lo r i ous past and l e f t French Canada w i t h a l i n g e r i n g nos ta lg ia which, un for tunate ly , s t i l l char.- ac te r i zes i t s i nhab i tan ts and our own selves f o r , as Mason Wade puts i t : when Qudbec selected the haunt ing JE ME SOUVIENS f o r the motto on i t s coat-of-arms, i t impl ied t o French Cana- d ians t h a t they were a conquered people and t h a t t h i s , i n tu rn , i s a t t he o r i g i n o f the i n f e r i o r i t y and persecut ion complexes which, too f requent ly , d i s t i n g u i s h our p a r t i c u l a r ethny.

Must we, i n t u r n cont inue t o s u f f e r needlessly from t h i s sense o f i s o l a t i o n and i n s e c u r i t y when socio l 'ogists and psychologists have provided us w i t h remedial guidel ines, no t a panacea, b u t very simple means o f coping with such strophy- i n g forces, these being self-knowledge, s e l f - f u l f i l l m e n t , se l f-esteem?

And so, who are we? I t was John Gunther who, i n h i s book Ins ide USA (1946), described us as " t h i s unique minor i t v -group, almost unknown t o the n a t i o n a t large. (which) i s -

the most tenacious i n the e n t i r e countryt1, adding t h a t we seldom i n t e r m i x and "hold w i t h the utmost obst inacy t o (our ) own f o l k l o r e , customs, language."

Even though t h i s may n o t be abso lu te ly accurate, and espec ia l l y s ince Gunther never took the pains t o discuss our

ethny w i t h a s i n g l e Franco-American i n order t o i n t e r p r e t New England t o the country a t large, he was unquestionably as c lose t o the t r u t h a t t h a t t ime as one could get s ince Franco-Americans, thanks t o an unsigned c o a l i t i o n o f Church and S ta te w i t h i n Yankeedom, were constant ly ob l i ged t o s t rugg le against a n n i h i l a t i o n by ass im i la t i on and t o re- evaluate the very f a c t o r s which enhanced t h e i r e t h n i c s o l i - d a r i t y . Thus, w i t h continuous prodding from Yankee and I r i s h h o s t i l i t y , i t was less d i f f i c u l t t o i d e n t i f y w i t h one's c u l t u r a l i nhe r i t ance o f ideology, o f language, and o f r e l i g i o n w i t h i n agglomerations and neighborhoods where i n t e r - marriages were conventional and occupational d i f f e r e n t i a t i o n and mobi 1 i t y q u i t e minimal wh i l e interpersonal re la t i onsh ips were intense, a f f e c t i o n a t e and tender o r where membership i n p a t r i o t i c na t i ona l soc ie t i es provided an i n v i g o r a t i n g o u t l e t and a r e v i t a l i z i n g b u f f e r against any and a l l forces o f ass imi la t ion . But t ressed by such sacred paladins as the fam i l y and the p a r i s h establ ishments o f church and school... which were t r u l y an extension o f t he f a n i l y , t he Franco American seemed i n v i o l able.

How was t h i s accomplished i n R . I . ? How was the R.I . Franco-American, t o quote the January 1891 e d i t i o n o f the Chautau uan no t so I1easi l y won from h i s medieval a f f i 1 i a -

As haphazard as were Gidhi? the o r i g i n s , nevertheless, i t i s through the past century and a h a l f as he has learned t o r e s i s t opposi t ion, overcome obstacles and emulate worthy r i v a l s t h a t he a l s o learned t o s e t short-term and long-range goals f o r h imsel f , f o r h i s fami ly , and even f o r h i s fe l low-ethnics.

Who are the unknown "French Canadians1' who ra ted on1 y one major a r t i c l e i n a recen t l y publ ished ten-volume encyc- lopedia on m i n o r i t i e s w i t h i n our country? Though we should no t bypass t h e presence o f such French noblemen as the Counts de Rochambeau, Dumas and de Damas, a r i s t o c r a t s l i k e de Chastel lux, Viomesnil and Deux-Ponts, o r such i n t e r e s t i n g d i a r i s t s as de Clermont-CrBvecoeur, de Verger and Ber th ie r i n Newport where a few French Huguenots had managed t o take refuge a f t e r being f o r c i b l y ev i c ted from Frenchtown (R.I.) by t h e i r f e l l o w n a t i v e Protestants, l e t us r e c a l l t h a t almost t o a s i n g l e man, the su rv i vo rs o f t he 6000 troops who disembarked i n Newport on Ju l y 11, 1780 returned t o France i n June o f 1783 a f t e r c o n t r i b u t i n g great ly-- -moral ly and mater ia l l y - - - to our Independence.

As a parenthesis, how many o f us are aware t h a t t he f i r s t most important Ca tho l i c ceremony t o take place i n the U n i t e d States was here, i n Newport, when twelve French p r i e s t s serv ing as chapla ins p a r t i c i p a t e d i n a solemn requiem Mass for Admiral De Ternay on December 16, 1780, the day a f t e r he d ied? And how many remember t h a t i t was i n 1813 t h a t Bishop Jean Lefebvre de Chaverus o f Boston came t o say mass i n Providence w i t h Fr . Francpis-Antoine Matignon?

However, and more important t o us, as unsung as i s t h a t f ac t t h a t th ree quar ters o f the members o f t he F i r s t R. I.

I have no d e f i n i t e h i s t o r i c a l documentation t o i n - d i c a t e t h a t some o f these French Canadian veterans o f our War o f Independence may have p re fe r red t o remain i n R.

Though any contemporary correspondence o r records o f v i s i t o r s between Woonsocket and Saint-Ours are i n e x i s t e n t today, the con jec ture seems p l a u s i b l r enough t o warrant credence. Whatever the case may be, the actual census taken i n Woonsocket i n 1846 reveals t h a t seven percent o f the t o t a l popu la t ion o f 4,856 was French Canadian i n o r i g i n and that , o f t he 332 so registered, I 1 0 were ch i l d re l l and 77 o f t he adu l ts , t h a t i s , one t h i r d o f t he French Canadian adu l t populat ion, had already become U.

Franco Americans had l i t t l e t ime t o r e j o i c e and the re was, fo r them, no more "pause f o r t r a n s i t i o n " i n 1923 than there i s today f o r i t was on A p r i l 9, 1923 t h a t Bishop Hickey was t o unleash the passions and pent-up emotions o f a people too long h e l d i n undeserved abeyance and unwarranted supression; i t was on t h a t date t h a t he launched h i s now h i s t o r i c a l d r i v e f o r one m i l l i o n d o l l a r s f o r diocesan reg iova l h igh schools. The years 1923, 1924 and 1925 gave the bishop the m i l l i o n and more t h a t he demanded, b u t he a l so brought echoes o f " t axa t i on w i thout representat ion: t o thousands o f par ish ioners brought up under the "Par ish Corporation" systcn under which the diocese o f Providence had been opera t ing s ince t h i s had been sanctioned by c i v i l law i n 1869, three years p r i o r t o the establ ishment o f t he diocese. Notwith- standing, Bishop Hickey pe rs i s ted i n t h i n k i n g along the l i n e s o f t he lsCorporate Solell system which had been adopted by some o f h i s f e l l o w American bishops though i t was merely t o l e r a t e d by Rome which cou ld no t have enforced i t i n Europe and whicii seemed r e l u c t a n t t o endorse i t i n the Un i ted States.

Th ls gave r i s e t o considerable d iscontent among e thn ic groups accustomed t o the European (and Canadtan) manner o f handl ing pa r i sh funds. I n 1924, a group o f Po l i sh Catho l ics i n Woonsocket openly rebe l l ed and found a na t i ona l Church. A group o f Franco American laymen'who d i d not wish t o abandon the Church and who were encouraged by members o f the c le rgy founded the Sent ine l le , a newspaper whose v io lence and i n - temperance on ly matched the b ishop 's obst inacy and i n - e x o r a b i l i t y . The Franco American cosmos was t o r n asunder: laymen brought the Bishop t o cour t , the bi,shop r e t a l i a t e d w i t h scores o f excomnunications. (Once again, R . I. would have received the Oscar!) The i n t e r n a l cleavage which threatened our e t h n i c leadership w i t h e x t i n c t i o n seemed i r - reparable. The pres idents o f two major soc ie t i es (Dai gnaul t and VCzina) engaged i n a verbal a l t e r c a t i o n the l i k e s of which would have put t o shame any Humphrey-Agnew debate! The c le rgy i t s e l f became in tense ly invo lved i n what seemed a f i n a l s t rugg le f o r c u l t u r a l independence from an oppressivc and i n s e n s i t i v e h ierarchy.

The Franco American press became en- grossed i n i t s worst, and unquestionably i t s most exc i t i ng , polemic o f t he century.

Pierre, Francois, Paul and Louis, father and grandfather of those mentioned, have had brothers and sisters who are not mentioned as they date back to the forth, fifth and sixth generation, but one may assume that their families have been large since a number of them who are established in the parish surrounding St oenis, claim relationship with us.

All the members of the Guertin family have been good patriots, and it is proper to mention especially Louis and Paul Guertin who

distinguished themselves in battle and in the hard work of colonization under the guidance of the flag fleur-de-lis of old France where one could shake hands in fraternity without fear and without remorse under the flag of sacred liberty. But it was in the night of the 12th to the 13th of September 1759 that Wolfe, by a steep path which was thought to be impassable, was able to reach with his army, the escarpment where the Plains of Abraham rise above Quebec. Montcalm and his army had to yield to conquest, and our flag, wet with tears, was forced to recross the seas. The Guertin family mourned, because the voice in their blood could never be silent and remained true, but after the passing of time they became loyal subjects of England. And so it was that Michel Guertin and several of his brothers fought for Britain in the War of 1812, and was rewarded a pension of 20 piastres annually when he was 52 years old and almost dead.

In 1837 the old Gallic blood was roused again in the veins on this family, and Jean-Baptiste Guertin, son on Michel Guertin, was one of the first to take down a musket to defend the rights which had been accorded to the French Canadians. He took part in the battle of st Denis on November 23, 1837. In this fight, the English troops under the command of Colonel Gore , who had 500 well armed men, battled against a handful off brave men who had only about 40 old flint-locks and a little cannon which some traitor had spiked during the night to prevent them from making use of it. The outcome of a fight was so unequal was inevitable, and all the world knows it. And after having obtained this quasi right from a constitutional government, it must regretfully be stated that the Province of Quebec - this land so thoroughly French - is about to be molded after the image of John Bull, by giving his language the place of honor. If there were not dependable evidence, never could one have believed this incredible weakness possible on the part of highly placed French-Canadians who have yielded to the point of aping the English by adopting their language. Yet, in the official spheres in the Province of Quebec, French has the same standing as English.

Has one lost the recollection of the still smoldering ruins of 1837, where the intrepid claimants of our usurped rights - martyrs of the duty imposed by the home land in their holy revolt - dare defy powerful England with austere courage? And the same blood still flows in the veins of the descendants of those who suffered the old wrongs of our defeat, and 1837 reopened a closed era. Tremble, because their hatred and rage prepares for our sons a future of storms. Woe to those serpents whose evil breath spreads the pestilential winds of hatreds, conflicts and rivalries. Listen to the clamor which resounds over yonder, or rather to that bellowing, brutish voice, the roaring of blind fanaticism, the howling of the monster still unsatiated! He must have our servitude, or, if not sending us to the scaffold, then at least he wants to annihilate us and let us disappear to the rank of the Iroquois.

Grandfather Cloutier came from La Bretagne (or Brittany) whose natives were called "Bretons". Francis Guertin was born in the parish of St Denis Richelieu. The parish of St Denis comprised all the territory of the Seigneury of the same name, until 1849 when it was cut off by the surrounding parishes. It began to be

colonized only in 1720, however, it was as early as 1696 that it was cut out in the forest of the right bank of the river Richelieu, six miles from Sorel. The right of Seigneury of St Denis was granted to Louis de Games, Ecuyer Sieur de Falaise, lieutenant of a detachment of the Naval Forces. The settlement of this region was retarded by the wars against the savages and English. It was in honor of his wife, Barbe St Denis, that the new lord of the manor gave to his concession the name St Denis, At the beginning, the members of this Seigneury had to go to Contrecoeur for their religious services. It was only in 1740 that the authorities found them sufficiently numerous to grant them the function of a parish priest under the patronage of St Denis. At first they built a humble chapel of wood where for ten years the parish priest of St Charles held services for them, followed by the cure of St Antoine for three years, and then for one year by the cure of St Ours. In 1768, the primitive buIlding which fell already to pieces, was replaced by a stone structure built by their first parish priest. Then, in less than 30 years the population of St Denis had doubled, the present spacious church was constructed.

Church Reaister of 1796, The successive officiating priest of St Denis were: J.B. Gosselin, cure of St Charles from 1740 to 1741. Gervais of St Charles from 1741 to 1750. Gervais from St Antoine from 1750 to 1753. J.F. Youville of st ours from 1753 to 1754. J.B. Frechet, first cure, from 1754 to 1768. Gervais of St Antoine ( for the second time) from 1768 to 1769. F. Cherrier, the real founder of the parish, from 1769 to 1809. G. Martin, officiating priest, 1 year. J.B. Kelley, third cure, from 1810 to 1817. 3.6. Benard, fourth cure, from 1817 to 1834. F. Demers, fifth cure, from 1834 to 1862. A. Prat, officiating priest, one year. Ant. O'Donnell, sixth cure, from 1863 to 1897, and J.B. Michon, seventh cure, who is officiating at this date, from 1897.

You will find in this Church Register that the first Pierre Guertin married Marie-Angelique Allaire in St Antoine un 1772. His son Pierre married Charlotte Veuillieux, and his son Pierre married Isabelle Cloutier. Their children were: Pierre, Francois, Virginie, Marguerite, Alexandre, Olivier, Edouard, Joseph, David, George and Julienne.

Pierre Guertin died near Champlain, and his wife Isabelle Cloutier died in Michigan. Besides the father and mother, those who have departed since are, Virginie, Marguerite, Olivier and Edouard. I don't know where their mortal remains rest, but their memory is enshrined in my heart. And all of a sudden, this merciless death has taken from us unexpectedly David Guertin, who died in Ludlow, MA on January 23, 1913 at the age of 66 years, 5 months. I know where his resting place is, and often I pass by the solitary spot, and looking at it, I try to soothe the memory of my disconsolate soul and sad recollection.

THE MISTAKEN IDENTITY OF MICHEL NAPOLEON CARTIER

BY Charles E. Seney

Researchers are well advised not to take for gospel truth everything in print. Even the most respected writers occasionally make mistakes, some of them very serious ones. For example, take the noted historian, Dr. Thomas Williams Bicknell, author of The History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, when he writes about my grandmother's brother, Michel Napoleon Cartier.

Dr. Bicknell mentions Michel Napoleon Cartier on pages 100 and 1 0 1 of Volume V. He correctly states that Michel Napoleon Cartier was the founder in 1894 and the president treasurer of M. N. Cartier & Sons Company in Providence, RI, for many years. He also cor- rectly states that Michel Napoleon Cartier married Ozilda Tetreault on 9 April 1875 in Putnam, CT, as is documented in the vital records there. However, when he states that Michel Napoleon Cartier was born 9 January 1854 in Sutton, MA, son of Michel Cartier and Julia Renault, natives of Canada and France, respectively, he is not quite cor- rect. Michel Napoleon Cartier's father, Michel, was born 9 May 1 8 3 0 in St. Fran~ois du Lac, Yamaska, PQ, Canada, son of Michel Cartier and Marguerite Janelle. He died 21 December 1898 in Putnam, CT, and is interned in St. Mary Cemetery. However, his mother was not a native of France. Her correct name was Julie Reneau, born 18 June 1831 in St. Hyacinthe, PQ, Canada, daughter of Pierre Reneau and Marie-Amable Dumas. She died 27 April 1906 in Putnam, CT, and is also interned in St. Mary Cemetery there.

The most obvious inaccuracy in this bio- graphy reads: "Mr. Cartier is a member of a

family of distinguished French origin, a descendant of the famous French explorer Jacques Cartier, discoverer of the Saint Lawrence River." This inaccuracy is sub- stantiated in any of the numerous biogra- ,

phies of Jacques Cartier which state that he had no children.

There is yet another inaccuracy in Bicknell. He also states "Mr. (Michel Napoleon) Cartier numbers among his fore- bearers the noted Canadian statesman, Sir Georges-Etienne Cartier (1814-18731, in 1857 Attorney General of Lower Canada, and from 1858 to 1862 Prime Minister of Canada with Sir John MacDonald." On page 320 of the Dictionnaire G6nGral du Canada, Uni- versitk dlOttawa, mention is made of the marriage in 1847 of Sir Georges-Etienne Cartier and Hortense Fabre. Two daughters were born of this marriage, neither married. There were no sons.

It is a very active Society devoted to German genealogy. Anyone with German ancestry will find member- ship --- $ 1 5 per year --- well worth his while. )

MEMBERS' CORNER Le coin des membres

The purpose of this column is to help our membership get in touch with each other for mutual benefit. All items for this col- umn should be sent directly to the editor,

Henri Leblond 88 John St. Pawtucket, RI 02861-1010

before December 1st if they are to appear in the next issue. Because space is limited, they will be included on a first come first served basis. Items will not be repeated in successive issues.

IN OUR MAIL Do you have a question Dans notre courrier about something which

you read in these pages? Do you have additional information about a topic which was treated here? Do you want to correct a mistake which you've spotted? Do you have a comment on an article which you'd like to make? Do you have a suggestion which may be of interest? If so, write to the edi- tor! Every letter will be given his full at- tention and, if it has general appeal, it will be printed in whole or in part subject to the limitation of space.

Among the many letters which have been received was one from Gerard Gauthier. He writes "I am in the process of writing an historical account of the 9 generations of GAUTHIER/LAROUCHE that preceded me. I am cur- rently shooting for 1994 as the publishing year of my book, just a year before the 350th birthday anniversary of the ancestor. My book will include photos and other memorabilia. From ten years of research, I have completed the first 5 generations, drawing from a mass of

over 1 5 0 documents. I am currently working the story of the 6th. I have at least 1 5 2 more documents to glean from. The true story reveals a voyageur, and a migrator counter to the law of migration, joy, grief, and a downturn into desolate poverty, and finally the new life. I am making an offer to an AFGS member who is a Gauthier/Larouche or a "Larouche", or who has a cousin by that name, the chance to honor the ancestor. You will be given the opportunity to include your male or female Gauthier/Larouche ancestor's photo into my publication. If you so desire, you will be given the opportunity to include a short story, of up to 5 0 0 words. You will be given credit for your contribution. If you feel that you may not be able to afford to publish a Gauthier/Larouche publication yourself, then this is your opportunity to honor your ancestor at no cost to you." In- terested members may write to Gerald Gauthier at 3 5 3 0 7 Ponderosa Drive, Fruitland Park, FL 34731 .

A request for help came from Donald Var- ney: "I wonder if I could get some help from the "Members' Corner". I need help with the "troublesome TURENNES" portion of my genea- logy. My great grandfather, Clovis, appeared in Holyoke, MA just before the turn of the century. My grandmother, Valentine, was with him then. I believe that she was born in Canada. He moved to Taunton, MA briefly and then to New Bedford, MA where he died in 1911. Although I have his lineage from his death record (parents were married in L'Assomption, PQ), I have been unable to find his birth, marriage or place of burial. His death cer- tificate is in New Bedford. Most of the family died of TB but perhaps there are re- lated branches out there that can give me more information on this hard to pin down family. Anyone who can be of help should

get in touch with Donald Varney at 9 Arrow Lane, Acushnet, MA 02743 . He can also be reached by phone at 508 -763 -5373 .

Hildegard Perry is looking for informa- tion on VICTOR PRAIRIE who married Sophie Beaudreau in Woonsocket, RI on 22 July 1872 . She believes that both Victor and Sophie were born in Canada. If you can help, con- tact Hildegard Perry at 6 6 9 Arnold Road, Coventry, RI 0 2 8 1 6 .

We are very grateful to Ralph Soucy who sent along material which will be of use in future issues of Je me souviens.

Paul Delisle writes, "Regarding my arti- cle, Rhode Island Franco-Americans -- in the Civil War, which appeared in the last issue: -- In the third paragraph, I state that the Ballou family is of Huguenot ancestry. In reality, the ~a'lous are descended from a Norman family who accompanied William the Con- queror to England in 1 0 6 6 . "

Paul Delisle also writes, "I recently re- ceived correspondence from Mr. Norbert J. Rioux of Branford, CT, regarding my article, Rhode Island Franco-Americans in the Civil War, which appeared in the last issue. Mr. Rioux sent me some information about his wife's great-grandfather who served in a Rhode Island unit during the Civil War. I checked Mr. Rioux's information and found it to be correct. Please make the following correction:

'BRINDAMOUR, Pierre was a resident of Warwick, RI. He enlisted and mustered in on 26 May 1 8 6 2 under the name Peter BROWN. He was assigned as a private in Company C, 9th Rhode _I_slan& Infantry and mustered out on 2 September 1 8 6 2 . '

The above underscores a serious problem which I encountered in researching this arti- cle. I'm sure that there are several other Franco-American veterans with anglicized names who will remain buried in the archives until chance brings them out. My thanks to Mr. Norbert: --.-- J. Rioux for sending me the in- formation on Peter Brindamour." (Editor's note; See related material on page 1 0 .

Mrs. Elaine Bessette Smith, author of French and Indian War Captives which appeared in the last issue, writes, "I would like to make a couple of corrections to my article. On page 52 under ( 2 ) John - line 4 - the date should be around 1660. On line 8, Thankful should be (1691). Under (4) John - line 13 - the name Ann should be before the date 10 April 1651 and Samuel born 1646 was omitted. Please accept my apologies. Since sending in the article, I found more on ( C ) Joseph - page 51. He was married or rather the mar- riage contract was signed at Fort Saint Louis with Notary Loiseau on 15 November 1734."

Robert Chenard of ~aterville, ME, com- piled to following corrections to various r6- pertoires. They were submitted by Leon Gui- mond of Frenchville, Maine:

While doing further research on other families who married Jolins in PQ, it was discovered that the Talbot BDF series had several errors on two particular Jolin fami- lies: #22 and #23. Louis Jolin (#22) and Pierre Jolin (#23) who were brothers. had, together. 14 children who married in PO. By using the years and lowns each was married in, plus the towns of origins of their spouces (from other sections of Talbot's series) it was possible to logically restructure these 14 Jolin children into their proper family groups, i.e., as far as can be determined using this scheme. Major errors such as these are uncommon in this series. Listed below is what I believe to be correct:

2 2 Louis 11 Feb 1 8 6 2 Rosalie Bouffard S1.Victor 3 3 Scholastique 11 Feb 1 8 6 2 Charles Champagne St.Victor Odile 04 Feb 1 8 7 2 Urbain Lapointe St.Ephrem Marie 25 May 1 8 7 4 Thbophile Laliberte St.Ephrem Fran~ois 23 Oct 1 8 7 6 M.-Angeline Cloutier Lambton M.-Phitomene 04 Sep 1 8 8 2 Thbophile Laliberte St.Ephrem Pierre 27 Aug 1 8 8 3 Delvina Roy St.Ephrem Marie 25 Jul 1 3 1 0 Joseph Poulin SI.Honore

Therefore, the JolinIJoler list published in the January 1990 issue of the F.A.R.O.G. should be corrected accordingly:

Delete #I5 Pierre. Add, instead:

1 5 Louis 13 Nov 1 8 3 8 Marquerile Bussiere Ste.Claire 2 2 Change #23 to #22 (Francois). Change the numbers 23A. 238 & 23C to 22A. 228 & 22C respectively. No other changes are required.
