<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For those wondering what this has to do with the Or-roots list, I have</DIV>
<DIV>(tentatively) traced my Lavodore (or whatever) line back to a web site which</DIV>
<DIV>mentions this little detail that might be of use to folks chasing Canadian</DIV>
<DIV>roots;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Richelieu county is now called Bas-Richelieu-Nicolet-Bécancour</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>also if the person (folks?) looking for St. Onge roots are still around; I</DIV>
<DIV>seem to recall they had Canadian connections and there happens to be a whole</DIV>
<DIV>page of them at;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.rootsweb.com/~qcrichel/90002872.HTM">http://www.rootsweb.com/~qcrichel/90002872.HTM</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>anyone chasing roots in the above mentioned county should check;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also a note on searching for Indian roots in the Heritage Quest online</DIV>
<DIV>stuff, since a lot of Native Americans only had one name, be sure to try</DIV>
<DIV>using "Indian" for surname when searching, I stumbled across a whole tribe</DIV>
<DIV>listed that way trying to chase down one of the Lavadore lines.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Emelie Lavadore (ma. ?) Thomas Seldon abtl 1853 and they had four children</DIV>
<DIV>Rose 1854, Margaret 1856, Henry 1857 and Martha 1860. My unknown source</DIV>
<DIV>lists the firt three as Laverdure and the last as Seldon so the married part</DIV>
<DIV>is a little vague, but by either name and as many variotions as I could come</DIV>
<DIV>up with I find no trace of them; of course that isn't too surprising since I</DIV>
<DIV>have had virtually no luck finding the rest of the Lavadore family by</DIV>
<DIV>searching for any of the variatons on their name that I have come up with in</DIV>
<DIV>1860 and 1870.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Seems like all I do is whine, huh, sorry about that, it's just that I almost</DIV>
<DIV>always get derailed when I start hamerring at one of these things, the</DIV>
<DIV>derailments are usually productive, but sure make it hard to get anything</DIV>
<DIV>actually DONE!</DIV>
