French Families of the Detroit River Region,
This review is from: The Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region, 1701-1936 (Hardcover)
I have used this book by Father Denissen many times over the last 28 years. I find it very useful and most accurate. I have used Father Dennision's information as a spring board to finding and verifing birth, marriage and death information on my ancestors. I marvel at the task he accomplished without computers. He has given me complete generations on many of my lines. If you have French families in this area of the country I advise you to start with these books you will not regret the time you spend searching through these two volumns.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An invaluable resource,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region, 1701-1936 (Hardcover)
As an amateur genealogist, I am always looking for new resources. Well, if you have family members who have roots in the French families of the Detroit-Monroe, Michigan (River Raisin) area, then you really must see these books. This area was an important part of New France, and French families have inhabited the area since 1701.
This book - in two volumes - contains information on French families and their descendents. There is an entry for each head (male) of each family, including birth and death dates, parents, date(s) of marriage(s), wives and their vital statistics, and children. Overall, I found this to be a great resource. It contains a great deal of information on families, even those often ignored in other resources that I have seen. Now, as is too often the case with older resources, the author (Fr. Christian Denissen) tended to anglicize names. But, it nonetheless gives you a great leg-up in your research. So, let me just say that I consider this to be an invaluable resource, one that any genealogist looking into the Detroit-Monroe area must see! I give this book my highest recommendations!
