[FCHSM] French Families of the Detroit River Region

[S Palmer]

I recently looked through the 1987 revision of French Families of the Detroit River Region and found that three of my family lines are included:  Payet, Douillet, and Dandurand.    The listing for John Baptist Payet, my 4th great grandfather, contains the information he settled in Detroit c. 1830 (page 945 of the 1987 revision).   I'd like other list member opinions regarding the 1830 date being an assumption made by Fr. Denissen in the original book perhaps based on the marriage dates of John Baptist's children or from some other source?   
   
  Thinking there could be other family information submitted during the 1987 revision or from the original, I contacted the Burton Collection to see if I could view the 1987 submissions and was told to contact FCHS!    I checked our member surnames of interest and did not locate anyone other than myself researching Payet.    Would anyone know if it is possible to view the original submissions/notes and also those from 1987?
   
  As I am a new member and unsure if this book has been discussed during our meetings, perhaps my questions will serve as a reminder to other new members that Burton will accept gladly updates to the French Families of the Detroit River Region for future revisions.   I plan to submit an update to these French Canadians of mine in the near future.
   
  Thanks.
