Thanks for bringing these articles to our attention, Elizabeth. I have Laronde ancestry, so look forward to reading a copy of the OGS newsletter next time I'm at the Cloverdale branch of the Surrey Public Library.

Hi, Yvonne,

I'm glad that you have found the surname - Lalonde.

If they are the people that you are looking for, be sure to write to Lynne and tell her. She will be happy to hear from you.

That's great!

Elizabeth

Hi there,
I was wondering how it might be possible to get a copy of the article “Feathers in the Family”: The Story of Magdeleine Pewadjiwonokwe by Lynne Duigou is the story of a ‘county marriage’ between Charles Denys de Laronde Thibaudiere and Magdeleine that was mentioned on your blog. These are my 5X Great Grandparents and I am trying to learn more about our family history.
Thank you,
Kimberlee

My grandmother was a Croteau. This Native lady is my great, great, great, great grandmother and the root of my Native heritage. One of my Uncles has traced the family tree to this point. Is there any chance of getting a copy of this book.

You can read this article at https://ogs.on.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2013.pdf but you have to scroll through 2 or 3 volumes to get to the Dec 2013.
