  • I spent this past Saturday at the Huguenot Historical Society library with Mary Gellhaus and Kerry Lantz. While there, I discovered letters inquiring about the Chadeayne family from Richard Stattler of Providence RI and Beryl Beatteay Biefer - apparently missing cousins! I spoke with Beryl on Sunday. She has lots of material to share with us. I hope to make it available soon. I also left a message with Richard. Hopfully, I'll be able to determine his place on the family tree, as well.

But I figured something's better than nothing and it's really time somebody preserved it. Obituaries are up (accessed via a new newspaper icon). Weddings to follow.
