Hey, thanks Chris! I wonder why Lewiston didn't have a death certificate for him.

New Class Next Spring

Hi everybody! I'm planning a class on using Google Archives to find stuff in old newspapers. The focus will be on the Lewiston Sun Journal, since the archive goes back to the 1860's. The class is geared toward people without a lot of computer experience. Most of the people reading this will not fit into that category, but I hope you will pass the word along to anyone who might like to learn. Look for "Your Notorious Ancestors" in the Spring 2011 Auburn Adult Ed course listings. See More

if your computer is too big to be flipped over, there's still a way to read those annoying sideways-scanned Lewiston Suns and Journals on Google archives. I've made the instructions very detailed for computer newbies: ~If you are looking…

The obit doesn't say, but it might explain why there's no death certificate in Lewiston. But knowing my French relatives, they might not go someplace that wasn't French-owned, even if they had the money. I've read of people…

Chris, you can take Uncle Archie off your to-do list. I had a few minutes today so I attacked the French paper again, this time with a magnifying glass, and found a blurb. It was TB. Darn family secrets. Maybe they didn't want the neighbors or…

It's nifty, you have a lot of good stuff. I can't imagine why someone didn't do it sooner. I'm planning to teach a class soon on how to read the Sun and Journal in Google archives, for Memeres and Peperes who don't know how…

My grandmother never knew he existed until I asked about the headstone, maybe 10 years ago. In that family, if something bad happened to someone, everyone acted as if they never existed, along with the person who did it. You've got me curious…

Oh, good idea, I have known about this for years, I guess I can wait til march if I have to. I also noticed in the Sun and Journal, they didn't talk much about French people unless it was someone really famous, and from Augusta. Not Canada or…

LOL your creds are stellar and I bet we could take up a collection. I'll put you on the prayer list at Johnny's church. His name was Archela or Athanas Chouinard. (Archela on his headstone, Athanas in the 1910 census) He was born in…
