Google Dynamic Maps

Dynamic maps allow you to zoom in and out of the location (there is a marker on each map indicating the location of the map's title), move the map around, and look at the map in different “views”.

Those of you who are familiar with Google's dynamic maps will have no problems navigating these maps. Those of you less familiar with Google's maps can go to a page I prepared, called How to use the Google Dynamic Maps, for some tips on how to use them. It also includes a practice map for you to fool around with.

If anyone has problems with these new maps or find that links bring up the wrong maps, let me know at gapellet@comcast.net.


La Cristerie no longer open for visits 

I received the folowing message on 26 Aug 2009, from Louise Racine:

"I visited the Pelletier ancestral home in Bresolettes last week while on a holiday in France. Though I was unable to make contact with the mayor prior to my departure, I had read that Jacqueline had moved and so I was expecting to see the house vacant. We arrived to find a young family is living there. The woman was gracious though she made it clear that she was not able to continue to welcome visitors into her home. I gather members of the Pelletier clan come by frequently... she intends to post a webpage to that effect once she gets internet"


Attention Canadians

Pelletier Chronicles

I recently received and read "Pelletier Chronicles - 500 Years" by Lonnie Pelletier. It is an interesting and entertaining blend of fantasy and fact about his ancestors in the Guillaume lineage.

As Lonnie puts it:

"Part memoir, part history and part evaluation of all that is Canadiana, this is a book that every family can identify with. As a detective of history, the author has presented chronicles that evolve in a manner that show that truth often becomes more interesting than fiction. The reality of ethic and serving, along with related local history, is consistently introduced."

I highly recommend it to anyone in that lineage. If interested, you can visit Lonnie's website at www.LonPelletier.com where you can see all of Lonnie's works which includes novels, art, and music
