genealogist Father Cyprien Tanguay from 1871 to 1890.
The

in the United States and France. Tanguay traced ancestors of many early
French-Canadian colonists back to Normandy, and other parts of France.

Eeeee! *does a happy dance*
You had me at Drouin. :D I normally search those records at the library, since it has Ancestry Library Edition, but it will be so nice to search on my faster internet, curled up on the couch, and with no closing time!
Next week's gonna be fun. Thanks for the heads up!
This is going to make up for my 1940 US Census disappointments! Thanks!
