best
presentation" in genealogy. Her in-depth
research
brought to light the origin, in Alsace, of different protestant
families believed, until then, to be Catholic and Acadian (Memoires (SGCF), 55, 1, 239,
spring 2004 and Pays d'Alsace,
cahier Varia, 214, 1, 2006)

by HISTORIA on the History of Quebec and of its first

databank
of
landowners and tenants of Montreal, 1642-1805, of the
Canadian Centre of Architecture, at http://cca.qc.ca/adhemar/

; the Canadian
Rebellions of 1837-1838. She has done extensive research in notarial

and especially in the judicial archives of New France. In November 2004,
she published Le
