par Chers amis et lecteurs fidèles du GrandColombier.com, vous êtes les bienvenus dans la nouvelle version du site. Après 15 ans d’existence et de nombreux ravalement de façades, il était venu le temps de tout remettre à plat et construire un nouveau site. L’occasion permet donc de définir clairement la mission du site : une encyclopédie consacrée à l’histoire, la culture et la géographie des îles. Je vous souhaite donc bonne lecture.

Salut Marc,
Ou est le site pour Encyclopédie de Saint-Pierre et Miquelon? Contacte-moi quand le nouveau est prêt, SVP.
Merci beaucoup,

Hello.
Is this site replacing the one where all the local information and family history was located?
If so, I have not been able to find that information on this site. Will it be reposted?
Thank you so much.
Hello Maureen
Indeed, this will be the new site. We’re in beta testing right now, and there will be a lot of data to add to the site. We should be up and running by the end of this year.
Hello again,
It is always good to see new things. I do hope that you will be so kind as to include the family genealogy which was provided on the old site. Those who posted it did a great service to those of us who cannot come to St. Pierre to do our own research.
It has been most helpful and provided me with information and details I had not known before about my mother’s ancestry.
My grandmother Louise Marie Joseph Paule Salomon and my grandfather Leonce Pierre Albert Joseph Arnaud were both born on St. Pierre as well as my Godmother Bernadette Augusuta Rosalie Arnaud Winckler. I share my genealogy research with their children and families. I continue to hope that I will find more information to share with them.
I have not been able to find exact dates or locations for some of the older ancestors and with your permission, I will post a separate request for information with the hope that someone who comes to your site will be able to help me.
As you can see, I am definitely hampered by not knowing French and that has been a problem in searching for my ancestors. For my inability to post to your list in French, I apologize.
Would you be so kind as to let me know when you have reposted the family histories?
I thank you for all your hard work and look forward to a wonderful informative site where I can learn more about my family’s heritage and of course, more about the islands today.
Sincerely
Maureen A. Teachman
