Index - Ripples from La Prairie Voyageur Canoes
Jerry, I am fascinated by your blog. I have started genealogy work on the Boyer line of my family, and I am collecting primary documents for my great grandparents and found your blog. I believe Charles and Pierre are great grands of mine, but I have several generations to go to confirm that information. As I write this, my 26 year old son just started a 3.5 week backpacking trip from the northern terminus of the Superior Hiking Trail near Grand Portage. I like to believe there is some connection to our past that prompts such fervent interest by my son. I, too, am a naturalist and love the outdoors in so many ways. Thank you for all the research you've done. If you are interested in continuing to correspond, I would also be interested. Sincerely, Anita Gille
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. I hope you find the connection. Happy hunting.
