Just want to let you know I have 2 of these books that Marcia
sent in case I can help with anything -

>
> "The French-Canadian Heritage in New England" by Gerard J. Brault,
> published by Hanover; University Press of New England, 1986, call #
> 974. B825f (2) regular nonfiction, and (1) call # LH 974.B825f as a
> reference book. 282 pages
> ==================================
>
> "The French Americans of New England: A History" by Armand Chartier;
> translated by Robert J. Lemieux & Claire Quintal; published
Manchester,
> NH
> ***This is a regular nonfiction book, call # 325.244
> ===============================
The first one may be out of print - I bought it at a used bookseller
site on line. But this is the one Dora found was available online
at NetLibrary. Check your own library to see if they carry that
service.


I bought the 2nd one at the AFGS - they have other pubs for sale,
- they used to have the one below - but I don't see it now :-(
=================================
> "Steeples & Smokestacks: a collection of essays on the Franco
American
> experience in New England", edted by Claire Quintal; published
> Worcester, 683 pages with ill., maps, music.***This is another
reference
> book at the Main Library of Worcester, call # LH 325.244
> =================================
www.afgs.org - go to the link for their store - the publication
listing is
for vital record repertoires.

Another one I've been meaning to read that I found on their
site is -

The BEGINNINGS of the FRANCO-AMERICAN COLONY in
WOONSOCKET, RHODE ISLAND
by Marie Louise Bonier -
Translated and Edited by Claire Quintal (English Edition)

I've been debating about tackling it in French, so I haven't
bought it yet....
