St-Denis-sur-Richelieu

I received another parish CD in the mail yesterday. I am now going thru the records for St-Denis-sur-Richelieu of Vercheres county. I added a bunch of new people yesterday and today and also did some clean-up with the existing database. Sadly, there are no Oligny or Saurette people listed, but there are plenty of other surnames of my lineage to expand upon.

I hope to have more time later to go thru this CD, but it is organized in a peculiar fashion that makes it much more time consuming to just zing on thru a certain surname. That makes this CD about the 3rd different type that I have now. So much for standards. 🙂

More Oligny Information

It usually takes a spark from some other place to get the genealogy juices flowing again. This time, that credit goes to Monica – a newfound cousin of mine. In doing some research on one of her surnames, I decided to finally plow thru some parish records and record any new Oligny information. I went thru the St-Remi records that I have and found a bunch of new stuff that is now in the database.

The Oligny descendant report that was 10 pages long is now 12 pages long. You can check that out here, if you like.

I have uploaded the database twice today to reflect the most recent activity that has taken place. I have a feeling that if I were to travel up to St-Remi today, that there would still be plenty of Oligny’s there who are my relatives. Oh, the joy of genealogy.
