Quotes from the Author: "Our French forefathers started their journey into the New World, what is now America; they met & married our Wea Native American Indian Ancestors, who had always been here. The blending of these two ancestral roots makes up our families & who we are today. There is no shame. Our Ancestors did what they thought they must in order to survive. Today we are faced with the same; we must do what each of us thinks we must to preserve our Peoples history, culture & beliefs. For me, this is the truth & this is the reason I write these books. I assure you that all facts are historically correct & backed up by numerous historical documents & archive material of which most is listed in the books references. This work took over 10 years for each volume to be completed. The research & collecting of this material spans over 4 generations. Our Ancestors in these books will find & embrace many people, many families, not just ours. It is my hope that many more people out there will find their roots & Ancestors because of this work." Vol-I Genealogy & Vol-III Documents will be published soon in the same fashion in the very near future.
