Greetings:

In the interest of enhancing the family tree content of bessettefamilies.com, family group sheets were added last October. As an added feature I have added new links to a narrative presentation of our family ancestry. These narratives of ancestry are called "Ahnentafel" in the vernacular of genealogy reporting. They can easily be printed out giving those interested a nice written summation of their ancestral line.

The links for the Bessette Houle families begin with my father, Raoul and for the Mclean Fleming families with Doris’s father. For those wishing to personalize the report starting with their own lineage I have also included links to the primary data bases from which you can locate the person with which you want to start the ancestral chain. The Data Bases reside on RootsWeb.com

Presently only links to the Bessette family have been posted to the site but I expect to add Houles & Mclean-Fleming early next week. If you have any difficulty in accessing the reports feel free to email me.

Below is an example of the content of the report covering only two generations. In the case of the Bessette line there are 9 generations going back to Jean Bessette dit Brisetout.

Regards to all

Raoul Bessette
