Background

After entering data I had from 1994 from a member of the French Family Association, and after reviewing the DNA results from Julia French Wood, I happened to find a very valuable document from a French descendant of Prince Edward Island called Northwind Southwind. This document is far greater than I could ever produce, so I will stop my research here and trust that you will learn about the PEI family from Brian Lloyd French’s research at:
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/u/r/Susan-C-Curtiss/FILE/0006page.html. He works in Toronto, Canada. See pages 16 and 56-82.
