Dear Carol:

I am not able to help you with what churches are there but I would like
tosuggest something that I use every day when I am doing research. I have
maps of all of the areas in which I am researching. I have a map of every
country along with my World Atlas. Street maps such as you get when you
are travelling are very handy also. If you belong to AAA Auto Insurance all
of these maps are free.

For each family name I am researching I have a group of maps tracing their
migration from whence they first came to the New World and where they
settled finally and lived their lives out. When using these maps you will
notice that the migration paths are the very same routes we travel today in
the United States and Canada. This also holds true for other countries as
well. Using the New World as the Starting point Boston Harbor when people
migrated they used the same highways and byways that travel from East to
West and North to South. I I-95 South to I-80/90 West to all points West
was the major roadway that was used then. I will use my ancestor as an
example.

They landed in Boston Harbor and settled for a time in Chelmsford, MA, then
they moved north into New Hampshire over to Vermont and then on to New York.
>From New York they travelled the I-90 west to Lake Erie. They then tavelled
by water and or they continued west along the I-90 corridor through
Pennslyvania and then picked up I-80 to Ohio and then onto the I-75 corridor
to Michigan and on up through the U.S.24 to Lapeer County, Michigan. Can
you imagine seeing the same things they saw then that we see today along
these very same routes. The canals that were built in New York all
connected to Lake Ontario and Lake Erie and connected with the Welland Canal
and the St. Lawrence Seaway.

This is why it is very important that each of us have maps of every state,
county and country as we do our research. Having a map of Montreal Streets
and addresses of the places you are looking for are made simple to search
them out.
