Hello ! I'd love to get your King's Daughter book, which seems phenomenal ; I have contacted the AFGS website ; "unfortunately" for me, the shipping cost to have the book sent to me (in Belgium) is about 66 $ - the same cost as the book itself ! Is there any way to pay for a digital version of the book ? Thank you in advance, and congratulations for your thorough work on the subject.

I have been looking into options for digital versions of my book since you asked it, and am currently working on converting it to an eBook that will be available on Amazon Kindle and Google Books initially.

Thanks for your question and for inciting me to make the plunge into digital. I hope that the formatting and ajustments will be done for online publication by the end of the month.

How can I get a copy of the index you authored for the 30 book set "Our French-Canadian Ancestors" in English? I have seen it in a library. I began collecting the books two years ago, and later bought the digital copy of 30 books, but there is so much information even in the other books, that I would love to be able to find these bits on my ancestors when they come up in other people's story. Thanks!

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, that book is long out of print. I tried to see if there were any online stores that are selling it, but did not find any. I think that your best bet would be to try to find it used. Mabye the American-French Genealogical Society, which publishes my Filles du Roi and Before the King's Daughters books, would be interested in publishing the index.(less)

“Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment help us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments — but all of this is transitory it leaves no permanent mark. And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.”
