Dear subscriber.

Thank you so much for being on my mailing list.  I definitely appreciate your support of my efforts to tell the story of the life of my ancestor Jeanne Chevalier (and perhaps your ancestor as well).  My work continues on the next book describing the adventures I’ve had as a result of my research.  However, before that book will be published, I need your help resolving a hopefully-easy-technological challenge (I’ve been told, it should take you a minute of your time!).

Google has decided to change their support for mailing lists through their “Feedburner” application which I had used for several years.  Because of that decision, I have had to switch mailing list services to a new one called “MailerLite.” What does that mean for you?

It depends!  If you received this message from “<lynne@lynnelevesque.com>, you don’t need to do anything!  You are already on my new mailing list!  Thank you!  You can ignore the rest of this message.

However, if this message came from noreply+feedproxy@google.com, that means you are on the old list.  If you want to continue receiving announcements from my blog, which I certainly hope you do, there are a couple of steps you need to complete in order to join the new mailing list.

First, subscribe to the new mailing list:

Find the “Subscribe to Blog” box in the sidebar of my blog page at (https://www.lynnelevesque.com/) or on any page on my website.  Enter your email address and click on the “Subscribe” button.  Follow the instructions in the confirmation email you will receive to complete your new subscription.  You will then be all set and can proceed to the next step.

Second, cancel your subscription to the old mailing list to avoid receiving duplicate mailings.

It’s not clear how long the Feedburner list will remain active so you might want to unsubscribe from that list to avoid duplicate mailings.  To do so, just click on the “unsubscribe now” link located at the very bottom of this message, on the left in between my name and Google’s address in California.

Clicking on that link will take you to a Feedburner web page where you will need to click on the “Yes, unsubscribe me now” button to cancel your email subscription to the old list.  Don’t worry:  you will continue to be subscribed to the new mailing list!

Please note, if you decide to subscribe to the new mailing list, please do so as soon as possible since I am not sure how long Google’s support of Feedburner mailings will continue.

I apologize for the extra work this is causing you, but hopefully you will find continuing as a subscriber to my list worth the effort!

And of course, feel free to email me at lynnelevesque@gmail.com if you have any problems or questions!

Hello to those of you who have signed up for new posts and have hopefully not had to manage through too many confusing notices about the changes to my website.

At last, I am thrilled to announce that the web site and its blog posts are now all available in French!  All you have to do is click on the French flag in the top right corner of any page to access the French version.  I owe ever so much to my cousin Father Peter Dumont in New Hampshire and his cousin Michel Moisan in Quebec City for all their incredible and invaluable help in making the translation possible!

Once again, thank you for your interest in Jeanne Chevalier, my 8th great grandmother!  I hope to have some new posts available soon (in English and French!)

Most warmly, Lynne

P.S.  Apologies if this is a repeat of a prior message.  We found a few glitches and they are now fixed!

The posts in this blog tell the story of Jeanne’s life, set against the backdrop of the history of France and New France at the time.  They provide information on the Filles du Roi (Daughters of the King) program, on the places she lived, and on the individuals in her life.  There are also posts that describe my journey to find and write the story of her life.  The posts are grouped by categories.  However, when they are posted, they do not end up necessarily being arranged in chronological order.

There are of course posts that don’t fit into any specific category, such as updates on my research.  You can find them filed under the category “General.”

Here is a suggested Table of Contents that describes the flow of the posts about Jeanne and her life.  As new posts are added, I will do my best to update this Table of Contents!  Readers are, of course, invited to pick and choose among the posts as they wish!
