Here is a message I received and would like to pass it on to you;
am Lawrence (Larry) Bergeron. I, along with several other
Bergeron-Damboise descendants of Barthelemy Bergeron and Genevieve Serreau
are in the process of planning a Bergeron/Damboise Reunion.
Everything is still in the planning stage at this point although we do have
a preliminary target date as the summer of 2009 no exact date has been set
as yet. And the place would be Fredericton, New Brunswick
The Society of History of the River St John (SHRSJ) is planning a 250 year
commemoration of the destruction of the Village of Point St Anne at
Fredericton New Brunswick and we want to plan our event to coincide with
theirs.
Our desire would be to have the site of the Church and Cemetery site set
aside as a "national historic site" (as we would call it here in the
states). This would have to be done by either the National or Provincial
governments.
(This is where it is widely believed that Barthelemy and Genevieve are
buried)
At this time we have "cousins" from Louisiana, Virginia, Michigan, Maine,
families from Quebec, New Brunswick and New Hampshire attending and we
would like to have as many more as possible.
As I said before there are many details to be ironed out, Passports to
acquire, lodging to get, a place to hold the reunion and so forth. Please
try to join us!
Regards

Just an update about the Bergeron dit Damboise reunion, the dates have been changed to a week earlier which would be July 18 and 19 2009.We are also inviting all Damboise,and Bergeron descendants of Barthelemy Bergeron and Genevieve Serreau, you dont have to have these surnames just as long as they are among your ancestors. And the Godins are also invited so if you have Godins in your line, tracing to the Godins who were in Sainte Anne de Pays Bas, then come join us. We are already quite a few who have signed up. If interested our Bergeron group is at bergeron-damboise@googlegroups.com or contact Lawrence Bergeron, or reply to this message. Hope you will come and meet all your cousins at the reunion.
