Hi Ray, 7th Cousins twice removed. Greetings from Cape Cod.
i just noticed you posted a photo of one of Tante Jeanne

leger's Stag paintings. She painted one as her wedding present to my parents in 1948. I've seen it almost every day of my life. from their NYC apartment to my condo in Kingsport TN. It still has pride-of-place in my living room.

Hello Ray,

I am not super familiar with this site, so I only just realized I can find out with one button how related someone is (in theory, I know some records can be inaccurate or nonbiological connections that aren't marked). I know 5th cousins twice removed isn't that close, but I seem to never run into any cousins who are much closer. I suspect some of the closer cousins I have aren't big on genealogy.

I just figured I would share and thank you for your help in understanding my family. I wish we were closer in proximity- it's a little lonely down here in Massachusetts sometimes, and my close by family don't really seem to want to meet up except for my aunts.

Hello Ray, I noticed on Napoleon's page his daughter was also listed as his wife and sister. I was able to replace his spouse with the correct one (Marie Leblanc), however I am unsure how to stop Napoleon from being listed as Margeurite's brother. Could you help me figure it out?

Napoléon Ouellet (1857-1927)

Well, you sure got a laugh out of me. I went to see your profile this morning to see who gave me a thank you. I got near the bottom and saw the link to the grave memorial so I clicked it expecting to perhaps see your father or ? When I saw it was you with date of death unknown, I burst out laughing.
