Sacre bleu!
My options when I got home from work today were to either work on my final project, or go check out the free access to ancestry.com from the library to try and break through a brick wall that has been annoying me for a few years.
The wall is history now, and the infusion of French Canadians from Quebec is overwhelming. The coolest part is seeing my 11th (b.1631) & 13th (b.1600) great-grandmothers with the proper French spelling of my legal first name (H = sacrilege). I know my parents were just being trendy in the 1970s & didn't have a clue, but at least it really is a family name.
10 days left til the end of class, the plan is to outline this week & write it up over the weekend and voila! BA!
