Ships of our ancestors

| We
are sorry to be able to entirely put our site in English because
we do not practise English correctly. Please see our French
website and translate with Alta Vista while waiting for that we
find a solution. Thank you very much of your comprehension.

The purpose
of this site is to share our work concerning the ancestors of
Jocelyne who migrated to New France in the 17th, 18th, and 19th
centuries, and those of Bernard who are of various French provinces
and of Belgium. And especially a study with emphasis on Olivier
Nicolle, Jocelyne's direct ancestor, who lead a full life.
This site
includes, for your pleasure, the "Roles" of the outgoing vessels
from France to New France including emmigrant passengers aboard as
well as the trading ships and those ships seeking fishing grounds
along Newfoundland, the Gulf of the St. Lawrence River and off the
coast of Labrador. We also address that part of Canadian history
which our ancestors lived, the arrival of the Carignan Regiment from
whom many descend as well as other events such as the Seven Years
War.
This site
is evolutionary. We will update regularly on a monthly basis. We
cordially thank all who helped us in this adventure.
We will
study the various archives on the coasts of Normandie, Bretagne and
Poitou-Charentes. If health permits, for it is certain to take time
and a lot of patience.
We are
young retirees with time before us and a passion for genealogical
research which lead us to the research of the boats of our
ancestors. Only money restricts us, for there are hotel and
gasoline expenses which slow are heat... If our research interests
you and you wish to contribute, even perhaps as a benefactor, your
name will be cited here and you will be the first to have the
results of our research of which you are associated.

website :
Marie-Claire Nicol
and Charles Campeau
Hello,
I am
Marie-Claire Nicol, descandant of Olivier Nicolle just as Jocelyne.
I am an US citizen because my grandfather, Pierre Nicol, met a
pretty girl at his half-brother, Celestin's first wedding. Claire
Roy lived in Lawrence MA, so Pepere Pierre left Bromptonville near
Sherbrooke, Quebec to court his brother's niece-in-law.
I have been
involved in our family's genealogy since the death of my aunt,
Therese Nicol D'Angelo. She had hoped to complete her work, but
cervical cancer called her to the Lord. My work has mainly been to
collect the works of the various Cousins and interweave them.
Jocelyne has taken the time to enter all these branches into her
genealogical database.
It has been my
privilege to work with Jocelyne and Bernard in translating many
pages of this important website. If any of our bilingual Cousins
find mistakes, please correct me. I have tried to stay true to the
meaning of Jocelyne's and Bernard's words. So without further ado,
enjoy our history.
