About me:
I am a 15 year old, high school student living at Petit de Grat, situated
on the south coast of Isle Madame. I attend I.M.D.H (Isle Madame District
High) and it's my first year. It's great, I have lots of new friends and
the new teachers are really nice.
I am fairly
new to genealogy. I've only been collecting since August of 1997, but I
have a large amount of people put together. I hope to put up more families
of Isle Madame in the future.
I have begun putting together
some families from Isle Madame, of which I am a descendant even though
I am a descendant of pretty much all of them, just like everyone else here.
These pages are not yet completed and I will add any additional information
as soon as I get a chance. Please, feel free to
write me if you see any errors
or if you can add anything new. My sources are posted below each
family.
Here are the pages I've
written so far:
Thanks to Lark Szick,
I was able to post the 1813 Militia Roll for Men Capable of Bearing Arms
in Cape Breton.
•2nd Reg't
for the following divisions:
I have also transcribed
parts of the 1752 Sieur de la Roque, Acadian Census of Ile Royale (Cape
Breton Island). They can be accessed at my 1752
Census page.
I have begun copying
the marriage records of La Paroisse de Notre Dame Church in Arichat. Please
check it out at my Arichat
Records page.
So far, it's from January
7, 1839 - January 20, 1840.
NEW:
Saturday March 29, I finally had a chance to visit the cemetery in Arichat.
