A FRENCH CANADIAN IN THE CIVIL WAR
It was November 19, 1863. The previous July, Canadians were at Gettys-
burg in various regiments, fighting for the Union, such as those in the Iron
Brigade who blunted the Confederate drive on the first day of the battle.
Roughly forty thousand Canadians put their shoulder to the wheel of the
Union Wagon in the War of the Rebellion. In St. Johns, near
Montreal, a sixteen year old youth, Antoinie Guindon, heard about the
fighting, saw the sketches of soldiers in newspapers.
It looked exciting…….. Read more by opening the link below.

CORRECTION TO GOYEAU SURNAME
FROM THE SPRING EDITION OF THE GUINDON NEWSLETTER PAGE 2
My apologies to all for the incorrect information on the Goyeau surname being a variation of the Guindon
name. (editor of the Guindon Journal)
“On the 1871 census for Combermere, Ontario Andrew Yandeau is living next door to Leonard Yandeau.
On the 1881-1911 census records, Combermere, Ontario the Andrew Yandeau name is changed to the fol-
lowing spellings: Goyau, Goyeau, Gangeau. Gaugeau, Ghauyea, Goyea, Goyes”
After checking the records on the PRDH website for the Goyau name I found the following information.
The Goyau name goes back to Maurice Goyau in 1671 on the PRDH website.
Note: The name “goyeau” has been replaced by its standard “goyau”. There is no reference to Gangeau,
Gaugeau, Ghauyea, Goyea, Goyes on the PRDH site. Another source to check is Tanguay Collection on line
on Ancestry.ca. There is no reference to the Goyeau/Goyau spelling being anglicized to Guindon/Yandeau.
On Mon, Dec 2, 2013 at 1:59 PM, Bryce Goyea <[email protected]> wrote:
As far as I can tell the Goyeau name can be traced to new France 1777. So I think the only change since then
with our family name was when my grandfather dropped the u at the end of it when he enlisted in the home
guard for WW1. As far as I know there are no photos. Andrew was my grandfather’s brother. My grandfather
was Thomas Napoleon Goyeau. My uncle Albert has more information.
I am also related to the Kung family in Combermere on my mother's side.

Archie Lintz inspired me to create this page for the Yedo also known as the Adams family of Michigan.
Archie confirmed through DNA testing that the Thomas Adams family of Michigan are in reality Thom-
as Yedo also known as Thomas Yondau/Guindon of Combermere, Renfrew County, Ontario descend-
ants. The DNA test led him to a connection of a family tree with the Yandeau name. In Lucinda Wood-
ward’s link below, she tells how the family were mislead to believe that Thomas “Adams” father was
Canadian but his mother was full blooded Ojibwa (Chippewa).
The truth is both his parents were French-Canadian.
This information was featured in the spring edition #44 of the Guindon Newsletter.
“Assault on a Culture” author Charles Adams e-mail: [email protected]
Charles Adams has published a book some of you may be interested in.
It is a chronicle of the Anishinaabeg of the northeastern U.S. and Canada from their
arrival on the continent 12,000 or so years ago to the period ending in the late 19th
century when they, including my Indian ancestors, were put into a cultural limbo. It
is written from the perspective of one whose immediate ancestors suffered through
the many indignities of the period. You can find some background information and

Hi Laverne,
I'm glad you enjoyed the write-up! It was very time-consuming, but I did enjoy it. If you'd like to in-
clude a link on your newsletter, its ok with me. If anyone would like to contact me, they can do so thru
Ancestry.com. My tree is listed as 'Vaughn'. I'm more comfortable with this, as it’s a good way to ex-
change information. I've received a lot of support this way. Thank you again for your invaluable assis-
tance and support, I couldn't have done it without your book!

NEWS FROM THE KLONDYKE
Henry Guindon tells some of his experience on his way to the
Land of Gold. Mr. Henry Guindon of High Street, Valley Falls, who went to the Klondyke a few
months ago, has written a letter from Bennett, (British Columbia) to his wife in which he tells some
of his experiences in that country. It is as follow:
Dear Wife and Children– I write to you to let you know that I am well and hoping this letter will
find you the same. We are camped 15 miles from Lake Bennett, (BC): We have our cabin built and
are finishing our boat. Our voyage from Skaguay (Skagway, Alaska) to here was horrid and we can
hardly get over it. We almost lost two of our horses and it took us a month to make 45 miles. Last
month there was a snow slide in Dyea, (Alaska) when 150 people were killed. The weather here is
nice and not nearly as cold as some papers stated. In Skaguay (Skagway, Alaska) the most intense
cold was three below zero and in the pass it was 20 below zero. My comrades and I are getting
along well, and we expect to make a fortune around Dawson (Yukon). We think we will leave here
about the first of June, and you can write a letter to Bennet (BC) and one to Dawson (Yukon). I have
no time to be lonesome here, for we are working night and day. The difference in time between
here and Montreal is four hours and fifteen minutes. The ice is from two to three feet thick and we
have still lots of snow. There are many people along the trail here and we see them building boats
wherever they can find lumber. There are about 200 tents here and many of the men have brought
their wives and families. It is quite common for us to sleep on four or five feet of snow. If we make
out very well I will come back at the end of October and next spring I will take the family to Daw-
son City (Yukon).
The letter closes with a number of affectionate sentences addressed to the writer’s family.

Imagine a World Without Cyndi’s List, FindAGrave & NEHGS Michael J. Leclerc's Genealogy News 16 Jan 2014
This week federal courts dealt a serious blow to Net Neutrality. There has barely been news coverage about this,
but let me assure you, it is one of the most serious issues of our time. And as a genealogist, you should be incredi-
bly concerned about it. Because, unless something changes, your ability to research is about to be seriously cur-
tailed. Imagine if you had to do your research without Cyndi’s List; Linkpendium; Ancestry.com; Mocavo;
MyHeritage; FamilySearch; Find a Grave; NEHGS, NYGB, NGS, or any other genealogical society; or Eastman’s
Online Genealogical Newsletter. That is the future we are facing.
So what is this confusing topic of Net Neutrality? One of the basic precepts of the internet has been equal access
for all. No matter how large or small your company or your web presence, your ability to reach customers was the
same as everyone else. This week federal courts ruled that current FCC rules maintaining Net Neutrality are ille-
gal. What does this mean?
It means that internet service providers (ISPs)can now charge whatever they want for access. They are also free to
make deals with individual companies to provide “fast” access to their website, while dropping other websites to
such a crawl that one would not be able to properly use them. This will give these large companies the ability to
shut out other websites.
This will limit the ability of new organizations to come along and introduce new products. No one would be able
to see them. They would not have the opportunity to grow. Cyndi’s List started with a single page of links and
now has millions of links to valuable sites around the world. Find a Grave was just a few transcriptions. Who
doesn’t go there looking for death information? Even Ancestry.com started as a small website and grew.
And what about genealogical societies? How many of them have local records and resource information available
online? They would never be able to pay the extortionate charges that ISPs would charge.
Imagine a world where the internet is run by the cable companies. You can only access websites by paying them a
fee. Much like cable fees now, you could have access to certain low-value websites for a small fee, but have to pay
much larger fees to access others. And they control what you can, and cannot, see.
All of this is quite preventable. But we need to let people know how much we support Net Neutrality. The FCC
can write new rules, classifying ISPs the same way they classify telephone companies, forcing them to provide
equal access to all, and limiting what they can charge. Visit FCC.gov and let them know what you think. Contact
your representative and senators also and let them know. You can also contact your state representatives and sena-
tors to let them know your feelings on this issue, and press them to institute legislation as well.
