A six-year collaborative effort of members of the French Canadian/Acadian Genealogical Society, this book provides detailed explanations about the genealogical sources available to those seeking their French-Canadian ancestors.
Foreword by Lynne Cooke. Text by George Quasha, Charles Stein.
A diplomat is captured by supposed insurgents and is waiting in a room for his execution. Texas is a provocative story of death against the backdrop of ugly and uncompromising politics. It is also a meditation on empire, imperialism and American hegemony. The writing borrows heavily from philosophy and poetry. A book full of unique visions, written by a writer who has an ear for cadence.

Jean Monty (ca. 1693-1755) was the son of Dominge Monty and Jeanne Benoist. Jean emigrated from France to Canada ca. 1727, and settled in Chambly, Quebec. In 1729, Jean married Marie Marthe Poyer, the daughter of Jaques Poyer and Marguerite Dubois. Jean and Marie had fourteen children. Other Monty (and variant spellings) came from Austria, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Russia, and Switzerland. Many families lived Quebec (Canada) for several generations. Others migrated into Connecticut and New York in the 1700's. During the 1800's, some moved to California, the Dakota Territories, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Later descendants and relatives also lived in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming, and elsewhere.
