Eric Krause, Krause House Info-Research Solutions I have visited the National Archives of Canada (Ottawa - September 12, 2002) to examine research material that is NOT described on its web site. Lynda Krause provided transcription assistance. RESEARCH VISIT TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF CANADA (OTTAWA), SEPTEMBER 12, 2002 ~ CONTENT REPORT
Eric
Krause, Krause House Info-Research Solutions The Fortress should order photocopies of the following finding aids:
I was also able to locate a copy of the accessions and inventories created since 1994-10-01 in which I found a number of references to microfilmed sources of potential interest to the Fortress. Unfortunately, my time was restricted to simply recording the various series and an examination of the microfilm had to be left to a future visit (which I anticipate will happen after my return from the States in 2003). However, I have left a request with NAC re Ken Donovan’s desire to identify the microfilm that contains “new” Charente-Maritime material obtained in the 1990s.
.................................................... ASSORTED CORRESPONDENCE NAC - CHARENTE MARITIME NOTE SENT TO NAC VIA THEIR ON-LINE MAIL SYSTEM
Hi: .................................................... From: "Gadoury, Lorraine" lgadoury@archives.ca
Mr. Eric Krause, To reply to your e-mail received September 6 about new documents that have been copied in France by National Archives of Canada, particularly in Archives of Charente-Maritime at La Rochelle, the most recent accession that NA received from that archives consists of 26 reels of notarial records of Canadian interest. You will find a description of that series on the NA website - ArchiviaNet - General Inventory, under: Fonds des Archives départementales de la Charente-Maritime [La Rochelle; France] (MG6-A2); Série E- Titres de famille, état civil, notaires; sous-série Notaires . There is no specific mention to Louisbourg in the description of this sub-series which consists of: "contrats d'affrètement et de charte-partie, engagements, associations de commerce, procurations et arrêts de comptes, obligations à la grosse aventure, avitaillements de navires, ventes de marchandises, de poissons, de fourrures, d'huiles, etc., accords de familles, mariages, testaments. On y retrouve les noms de la plupart des personnages intéresséés à la pêche et au commerce avec les colonies françaises d'Amérique, aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, et également de ceux qui ont joué au Canada un rôle de premier plan dans des domaines autres que celui de l'activité commerciale." Considering that all the documents are described at the item level in the database "Colonial Archives" on our website, you may want to do some more investigation online on the content of them before you decide to order the reels. In any case, here is a list of the notaries and the reel numbers (there are also some transcripts that I do not list here): -Bagard (étude Bonniot, 1683-1705, reel F-2298); - Bréard (étude Filhastre, 1707-1734, reels F-2234 à F-2236); -Cherbonnier (1642-1666, reel F-492); -Chesneau (1616-1623, reel F-480); -Desbarres (étude Bonniot, 1713-1748, reels F-2202 à F-2206 et 1714-1757, reels F-2232 et F-2233); -Guillemot père et fils (étude Menon, 1688-1758, reels F-2296 et F-2297); -Masset (1617-1624, reel F-480); -Rivière et Soullard (étude Menon, 1668-1741, reels F-1830 à F-1834); -Savin (1651-1667, reel F-491); -Tardy (étude Menon, 1742-1760, reel F-2299); -Teuleron (1636-1679, reels F-479, F-487 à F-490). Do not hesitate to contact me if you want to get more information or if you want to order copies of the microfilms.
