Since the 1999 publication of the first edition of The Genealogy of The Descendants of Urbain Baudreau dit Graveline, six years have passed.

Our project of publishing the first and the second edition of the Genealogy of the Descendants has been a success. All copies have been sold. Seeing this result, and because we have received many requests for the second edition, we believe that a third edition would be beneficial to many people, members or not of our association, and other organizations who are interested in a quality reference book.

The numerous persons related to the Baudreau/Graveline ancestors who contact us frequently on the internet, are searching for more information on their paternal or maternal lineage. When they heard about the existence of our genealogy book, they immediately wanted to order a copy. And, when they received it they were very pleased with its appearance and the tremendous amount of information that it contained.

In the last few years, we have received many compliments about this fine book. We are delighted with the input and this has given us the incentive to go ahead with  another edition. At the same time, this project contributes to the good health and the growth of our association which, in the year of 2004,

 observed its 25^th anniversary.

Many hundreds of new descendants are joined to the thousands already included in our first two editions; this is proof that we managed the efforts well in searching for the new entries. In this new third edition, there is a special section for new lineages who are not yet linked to their ancestors. This new section will give the newly discovered descendants a chance to be listed. Perhaps in the near future, we will find the link that ties them to our ancestor :

URBAIN  BAUDREAU dit GRAVELINE.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to those who have collaborated with me by sharing their precious information in a warm spirit of friendship.

I wish you all enjoyable reading.
