Just a short update:  Check out the following great site for "Pelletier" created by 
(another) George Pelletier, M.D. = his site can be found by typing "Pelletier 
Genealogy" and it is also listed on many other Quebec sources.

  I added our "Pelletier" family-from Doug's grandparents, Alexis & Albertine, down 
to our own grandchildren.

* to follow the line back just click on the underlined parents - all the way back to 
Nicolas; the first Pelletier to come to Canada (New France) 1636! Lots of interesting 
reading!

Well it is (supposed to be) Spring Time in Keewatin but just may get a bit of snow 
tonight!  This gives me an excuse to fix up my family files since I sure don't want 
to go outside.
I will add the grandchildren of George & Antoinette's and great-grandchildren too. 
This winter I have found little bits of new info and have tried out a mini book 
format but hope to inprove before I feel it is ready for printing.

Local stuff in Kenora: Doug & I attended "Sharing our Stories". It was different 
local people who talked about the pioneer days in our area of Lake of the Woods.  It 
helps to bring their hardships and accomplishments alive! Some of the speakers spoke 
about their own ancestors. I have also taken out library books written on our local 
area by local authors.  I feel this helps in family history to understand why they 
settled here.  It is also Keewatin's 100th Anniversary this year. Even though we are 
now a part of the City of Kenora, we must celebrate Keewatin.  It was a very thriving 
town with interesting history for our Lake of the Woods area. Many different events 
will/and has been held to celebrate it's history throughout this year! 

Ancestors of Kenora Genealogy group (ASK) is planning a project to digitally 
photograph our Lake of the Woods Cemetery and have the pictures available for 
genealogy research.  Talks are "in the works" with the Cemetery Manager in hopes of 
working with them as a partner.  This valuable resource will take time to accumulate 
and organize as there are approx. 8000-10000 tombstones.  It is also our hope to have 
the names and dates of any unmarked graves that are known.  There are so many people 
who don't know where there ancestors are buried! These cemetery records when compiled 
will sometimes give birth dates, wife's names, and death dates.  This helps so much 
in family searches to put the pieces together. I will update this project in the 
future.

I may take a few days to enter more names in this tree - so check back often. Please 
leave a note in the guestbook!
