FrancoGene Genealogy Web Site

.		Important Information if you want to write me...
Why this page?		Setting up this Web site required from me thousands of hours of work. I think it is quite reasonable that I expect you take at least some minutes to check if that site already has the answer to your question or if there is a screen so that you can enter yourself your new pointer, or if there is a more appropriate mean to have an answer than to ask me your question. And with the time this will save me, I will probably be able to maintain this site faster and to add more information!
We can write me about (free services): Correction to site or DGO Beauregard, Davignon, Jarret, Vincent (exchanges)		You can write me about (free services): If you want to write me, please note I already receive a lot of email and that my time is limited. Your email is welcome for the following cases: To correct one of my genealogy Web pages (specify which one: there are over 200 pages) To correct an entry if you can't receive a file linked in one of my pages Addition or change to the DGO To exchange data about those families: Beauregard, Jarret, Vincent and Davignon (EXCHANGE means two way). But it is best to use the Beauregard Mailing List.
Do it yourself Add data about your site Question for all readers		Do it yourself Use the message board to enter yourself a pointer to your Web page or your name as an expert. This page allow you to: To add your name to the family expert list (please prepare the line using the same format as other entries) To add a link to another site or to correct an existing pointer Enter a simple question other users can read. This service is disabled because of hacking at my provider in September 1999. Will be back later. Visit this page for free Web pages.
Don't write me for these reasons: free hints free search to ask for a software to use to complaint (except for typos)		Please don't write me for these reasons: To ask me how to do genealogy. Instead, read the relevant pages like this one. To ask me to find a marriage, the origin of your name or another information. Instead, ask the question to the relevant newsgroup like soc.genealogy.french or soc.genealogy.surnames. I will eventually set up a database, but since I plan to build it from Q-Tree 2 (see below), I have no delivery date. Also, don't suggest to someone to write to my email or standard mail address for a similar reason. Except if you want to pay me... To ask me what software to use. For now, I work with Word for Windows (version 6). To ask me how to become a member of my " organization ". I built most of those pages alone and with no external financial sponsor. Many persons gave me a hand for some pages, but as individuals and not as members of an organized society. Those who are quoted in the expert page or elsewhere are volunteers who accepted to give a hand. But, I repeat, the only " society " related to those pages is formed by the readers and posters of newsgroups like fr.rec.genealogie or soc.genealogy.french. We can say we form together a virtual genealogical society. Complaint that you did not find your name in my pages. Please be decent enough to check for the content of that specific page... Ask for more about families presented in my pages. I find quite arrogant someone asking me to do a very long work when that person never help anybody. I would like to take back the control of my personal time.
Want to hire a searcher ?		Looking for a profesional searcher ? I don't have the time myself to do searches. But Micheline Lécuyer, co-founder with René Jetté of Institut généalogique J.L., can be hired for a fee to do a search in Québec only, with sometimes a look up in Ontario or United States to complete a line. She can use the tools available in Montréal. Her trade name is to always include the proof for what she found, usually a copy of the original records. Click here.
