[FCHSM] French Families of the Detroit River Region

[M. Brenzel]

Yes, this was a DSGR project.  If I recall correctly, I submitted
corrections and additions to Stephen Keller for the 1987 revision.  I
would think that the DSGR would have the submitted data.

As I was not involved with the project to revise this important work, I
would hope that someone else on the list could give Ms. Palmer accurate
details.  I recall that some of our FCHSM members were very active in
the revision process, but I was under the impression that this was still
a Detroit Society for Genealogical Research project and I would assume
that that fine organization has the submitted data.

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.
