FrancoAmerican Gravy: Stories from Québec to Cohoes, New York

Stories of family and ancestors who lived and worked in Cohoes (textile and garment workers, butchers and barbers), Waterford (canalers), Whitehall (farmers and canalers), Port Henry (iron miners and Civil War soldiers), Champlain (canalers and farmers) and other towns along the Champlain Canal in New York State with some diversions to the places they emigrated from....Quebec (landless farmers, shoemakers, sailors, soldiers), Acadia (more farmers), and even Cornwall, England (tin miners).

Rivet - Lord

This family descends from Paul Emile Rivet and his parents, Maxim Rivet and Marie Lord who brought their family from St Jacques de L'Achigan, Québec to Cohoes, NY in the late 19th century.

Reading this Blog....

...may not seem particularly easy. I post information and stories in whatever sequence comes to me and sometimes it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I may post about someone and three weeks later write about them again. In between the two posts, there may be stories about other people or places. That is why there is a search button at the bottom or on left side of this page.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
