Helping others discover their roots
“There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One is roots, the other is wings.” Teaching children values and giving them the opportunity to excel is essential to good parenting. However, I feel I must also provide my children (and myself) insight into the ones who came before us: our ancestors whose lives and stories have shaped us into who we are. This is my journey; these are their stories…

I was just catching up on my WordPress reading and experienced some déjà vu. It seems that I “found” one of your cousins via Marie Rollet and her husband Louis Gaston Hébert: https://sortingbeansgenealogy.com/2019/01/17/louis-hebert-and-marie-rollet/

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the information. I knew I was related to Hilary Clinton and Celine Dion. But my heart beat just a little faster when I read Edgar Degas! Always loved his work.

Fascinating!!!! I ran across your blog while researching family history. I am going to Quebec City in a few weeks for a family vaca and we are interested in finding historical places to visit that our family resided in. We are also related to Abraham Martin, Zacharie Cloutier, Claude Poulain, Francois Mercier , Robert Paret, Francoise LeHoux.
Don’t know if you live in Quebec or not but I would love to find out how to access these places. Do you have any ideas?
So glad to have read what an amazing woman we came from!!! Love this

I am so glad you enjoyed my blog. I live in the states, so I do not know enough about Quebec yet. It is on my bucket list. We do come from a long line of strong women.

Marie Rollet is my 11x Great Grandmother. About 7 years ago I did a search online for her and just happened to find a book about her life in a library in Paris France, with a copyright of 1928. I ordered immediately and received it! It’s a paperback, about 6 1/2 x 10″ written in french. It has beautiful line drawings all through the 156 pages depicting her life with the Nation’s People. It was a children’s book honoring her as a hero. The title is “Les Premiers Colons Franco–Canadiens Marie Rollet” Wow here’s one on EBAY right now! https://www.ebay.fr/itm/325545543491
I’ve also collected many stamps and First Day Covers of Louis Hebert, a 400th Anniversary First French Settlement in North America medallion, and a mortise and pestle dedicated to him as a pharmacist. There’s lots out there to be found honoring these two great people. Just put their names in search and see what you can find. My grandchildren are so impressed.
