Another Genealogy Adventure…. part 2
To fix the problems, Craig and I devised a fairly simple plan. Craig sent me the genealogical documents he had in his possession. He agreed to travel to Plattsburgh, New York in search of additional source evidence. I agreed to re-read (this time more carefully) all the documentation I had in my possession; this evidence was mostly sourced from Pati Gravel and Barb Deyo (a lot of photos, emails, as well as numerous Wilfred Deyo’s documents- Deyo histories). I was to re-plow through available evidence on Ancestry.com and see what I could find. This was especially crucial in that I had to confirm notes from Craig for which we were…

Joseph Yon (Joseph Deyo) by Wilfred Deyo
PART I JOSEPH YON (JOSEPH DEYO) 1805-1880-PLUS INTRODUCTION Joseph Yon was born around the year 1805. His parents, Ignace Yon (Guyon) and Marie Suzanne Gervais were of the Parish of St. Marc sur Richelieu. It is believed Joseph lived in the area of St. Marc until his marriage at about the age of twenty three.

Another Genealogy Adventure…. part 1
As I have written numerous times before the Deyo portion of my family is a bit of a challenge. Well recently, my analysis and documentation of the Joseph Dion line was once again brought into question (by my new friend Craig LaPine!). On Saturday the 24th of April, I received the following email note from Craig: Hello Mr. Rabideau. I enjoy your [ManyRoads] site regarding the Deyo family. I am a descendant of Emma Deyo (a daughter of John and Mary Ann Bonah, whom I don’t see listed on your site [meaning I missed Emma]). I have specifics on her but she first married Charles Lagoy and the Fred Belair.…

Deyo Family Branch is official….
The Deyo Family genealogy (of Upstate NY and Southern Quebec) is offically online. Currently, there are more than 3000 pages of materials in this area; there are also a few bugs and unfortunately the data remains incomplete. I have several hundred (thousand?) documents yet to link in this area. I, also, have significant sections of the tree that remain ‘under-staffed’ most notably those in Julie LaFay’s and Exina Minor’s descendancy lines. Please contact me with any problems, additions, edits, etc.

Look in a mirror…
People fear the past… they fear their history. I have had countless conversations with family genealogists who have problems bringing unwanted, or bad news to their families. The bad news is ‘how you say???’ — rarely well received. Bad news is a term I use loosely. More precisely I am referring to the news that family members don’t want to hear. Or in my case, they have other tales and myths that they really want you to re-enforce, not deny. If you have looked closely at this site (ManyRoads), you have noticed news like that. Every family has undesireables, be they facts, people or circumstances. However the truth is always…

A Great Find! (part 2) -Raphael & Euphemie Robidoux
I received the following email this morning from Barb Deyo; it read: Hi Mark, I wanted to send this to you yesterday, but I have been having trouble with my e-mail. I read about you finding a picture of your ggg grandparents on line. That night we went for a short walk in the cemetery like we do very often, with my cat. She loves to run and lead us around the field. When it was time to go she led us to the front of the hedge to go home, (we usually go by the side) As I looked at the stone, guess what I saw? It was just…

Who were Christiaan Christiaansz and Marie Anne Christiansen?
This is a copy of the article by Eugenie Fellows that appeared in the Spring 2000 edition of the Memoires de la Societe Genealogique Canadienne-Francaise which purported to solve the mystery. Unfortunately the author disregarded a very important note that was included in the original article (in the October 1997 issue of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record) on which she based her article that throws doubt on the assumption that Marie Anne’s parents were Christian Christiansen and Elizabeth Elderszen. The original article by Barbara A. Barth was published in two installments and was about the “Family of Ysbrant Eldersz of Rennselaerswyck”. It is rather a lengthy article (17…

Moise Dupuis
The [following] was [written] by the author Rita Campbell. We share common ancestors, Moise Dupuis and Ann Christiansen. The story is based on the few facts known about Moise and Ann and general knowledge of the area and times in which they lived. Attempting to tread the paths of a man who passed this way almost 300 years ago is both thrilling and nostalgic; when this man is an ancestor of your family, the task becomes a labor of affection and personal satisfaction. The life of Moise Dupuis is filled with adventure, danger, human frailty and tragedy, but in his own humble way he contributed to the history of his…

A Great Find!
One of the great joys of doing genealogy work is that every once in a while, you make a great find. A find that brings on a feeling of joy, wonder, and belonging. Yesterday was one of those days for me. I know I have been offering a lot of insights into issues associated with using Ancestry.com but yesterday’s experience reinforced “why I use and value Ancestry.” Lately, I have taken on the effort of cleaning up and adding to some of my earlier genealogical work. As you probably already know genealogy requires a lot of organization as well as continual care and feeding. Well, as luck would have it,…
