Dagenais Beloin Hopkins Jackie's Journal


"Here it is November 2004" and now it is November 2006. How time flies...and I have found a new relative: the granddaughter of James and Louise Dagenais has emailed and is going to fill out a form for us so we can make her a part of the Dagenais clan.....so good to hear from her and to be able to add more names - I should update the genealogy chart on this site because in the past three years we have had a few marriages - and births also -- and I also was able to complete a search on the Case Family - and they provided some info on the Bacon side of the Case family.......And I am always trying to connect the family to the DAR - through the Hopkins and the Case families -- but it is not easy. My friend, Doris Misenti - (I met her back when we were members of the Bristol Genealogy group) is helping me to get the information I need - still have not traced any relatives to the Amerian Revolution. . Anybody out there know anyone?


I'll have to get out my HTML notes to add some pictures and to add the new info I have.(updated November 4, 2006)

How soon we forget and move on. Life moves so quickly. So fragile and precious is our short time on this earth. Our ancestors have come and gone leaving their mark for future generations to savor and remember. Soon we will be the forgotten ancestors and how many will remember us? I have done no journaling for a couple of year. It seems a new generation is picking up on their need to know their ancestors. Along with Mike and Cheryl, my niece, Michele Roberge is trying to trace our ancestry to include an Indian heritage. And still another cousin from the next generation, David Tufts is pursuing his ancestry for his father, Charles Tufts (the son of James Tufts and Victoria Beloin Tufts).(edited 11/19/2004)

Taken from my Dad's notes:
GOD'S MINUTE
I have only just a minute, only sixty seconds in it. Forced upon me.
Didn't seek it. Didn't chose it. But it is up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it. Give account if I abuse it.
Just a tiny little minute...but eternity is in it.

THANKS TO MIKE BAILEY WE NOW KNOW THAT THIS 'PRETTY LADY' IS: MARGARET CELESTRINE MALONEY!!! She is my Grandmother and Mike's Great Grandmother. His Grandmother (Lillian Bailey) and my Mother (Lucy Dagenais) were sisters. What a small world. We are cousins who never met.
She married WILLIS SIDNEY HOPKINS. Dates and places are in the Hopkins pages.
Just a click here will still bring you to her picture.
(edited 11/25/01. 06/15/2003) This page is always under construction.

It's great to have you checking us out. (updated: July 30,2001) Paul is our Webmaster and he set up the original site. Paul is now in his senior year at University of Maine in Orono. Can you imagine he started this site for me when he was just a Fresman. His major is still computer science. More on him: Bergeron archives.

Just a note about our music - it works with Explorer. It did not work with Netscape. The song on this page is "Chariot's of Fire". (updated July 30, 2001)

SURVEY REVEALS ELDERS ARE SOON FORGOTTEN

In the national survey, Gallup asked 1,005 adults if they knew the first names and occupations of their great-grandparents.

More than 60 percent did not know the names of any of their great-grandparents, and more than 40 percent did not know the occupations of any of their great-grandparents.


A Quick Click will take you to "My Joseph Story" which I wrote for a writing class at Tunxis a couple of years ago but I find it fits in very well. Enjoy!

I just came across this picture that I took in Montreal in the fall of 1999.I was struck by the beautiful lines of the buildings, sidewalk and lamp posts.
