The Lacharité, Lampron, Desfossés Genealogy Project

The Project

[ 29 Apr 2010 ] Introduction

The Lacharite, Lampron, Desfosses Genealogy Project, otherwise known as "The Project" is an extensive genealogical compliation consisting of approximately 41,000 people and over 10,000 families supported by the original documentation (> 11,000 documents) related to the individuals in the project. I believe that I have approximately 90% of all related Lampron, Lacharite and Desfosses families since the 1600's in the Project. Over the past two years I have been validating all of my data to ensure it is complete and accurate. This is a slow process designed to eliminate duplication and tie the "unlinked families" into the Project. Granted, not everyone is attached to the family tree (there are some "leaves" blowing in the wind) but the vast The majority of people in the Project can trace their families back to Jean Laspron dit Lacharite. Such a monumental task has taken about 32 years of continuous research.

If you want to know more about your family genealogy and you have the surname of Lacharité, Lampron, Desfossés, St Louis, Glaude, Geoffroy or Beaulac (or variations thereof) or are related by marriage then contact me - I can save you untold hours of research. A family tree makes an excellent gift and I can provide detailed narratives and family trees for any branch of the family tree.

A great deal of my research carries a surety of "3" which means that it is supported by documentation, citations and foot or end notes.
