Késsinnimek - Roots - RacinesMon petit coin by Norm Léveillée

When my sister Rita introduced me to genealogy research in 1985, after she had been searching for our family roots, I discovered a whole new interesting hobby. This hobby has turned into a passionate avocation for me. Genealogy was so fascinating that I decided to take courses to learn how to do research properly and professionally. After some ten years or so, I decided to put my sister's and my research on the internet for others to share our findings.
After I published our project, I began to realize that there are many others who share this passion, who wish to find their "roots - racines - késsinnimek". The technology - computer, software, internet - assisted me in codifying all the data into an easily readable format to share my findings with others. This technology helped me to find my "késsinnimek".
This month, I'm going to ask you to visit four pages on my website. For the past several years, I've received hundreds of email messages either writing to me about a discovery that someone has made on my website or to introduce himself/herself as a "newly found cousin". Each time that "un cousin ou une cousine" is found, I invite this person to send me his/her ancestral lineage so that I may place it on my site.
Many of "my cousins" have taken me up on this. And I now wish to share this page with you. Please point your browser to the following link:
If, after visiting my ancestry website, you find that we are related, then I'm extending the same invitation to you. Send me your lineage; but please include a listing of your sources: either primary or secondary. I will verify that your ancestral lineage is accurate. Then, I'll create your page. I will send you an email when it's completed and ask you to verify the data. When you have verified the data, we'll make it available for public viewing.
The main page of my Ancestry site is
However, you may want to search for your surname or ancestor. There are two Index Pages that you can use for this purpose:

Here's hoping that I find other cousins, other "késsinnimek" out there in cyberworld.
