Genealogy Progress


Spent a few days in Waterbury, VT working on the genealogy. Got to look up some records and visit some of the old homesteads and churches, etc. This little nativity is in the Waterbury Historical Society Museum. It was whittled by my Great-Great-Grandfather, Napoleon DeGuise!

Hi there, Napoleon is also my great grandfather. My grandmother was Rita, Mary's sister. Do you have any information regarding our family history? Will Mary have anything regarding the Deguise family lineage. I have been researching for years but I must have veered off to another family when I spelled Napoleon's fathers name Augustus instead of Augustin...so it is time to start over. I look forward to hearing from you.
