NEW PUBLICATION
ENGLISH CAPTIVES & PRISONERS REMAINING IN NEW FRANCE
Their story of capture and survival in Quebec
by
Professor Roger W. Lawrence
Publication Date: Summer 2015
Professor Lawrence spent 30 years researching the captives of New England taken during the French and Indian War. Much has been published about these captives but Roger was compelled to find new details from contemporary sources. He has examined, extracted, and translated vital information in marriage contracts for those captives or prisoners who were assimilated into the French Colony. This is an excellent research tool for New England colonial descendants as well as for French-Canadian descendants of these captives. Some of the English ancestry goes back to Royalty and Nobility.

Manchester Historic Association – Manchester’s Immigrants: Then & Now
Opened March 10th
The Manchester Historic Association is excited to announce that it is opening a new temporary exhibit, “Manchester’s Immigrants: Then and Now,” at the Millyard Museum on Bedford Street. This exhibit will showcase photographs documenting the lives of immigrants from all ethnic backgrounds, from the earliest Irish, French-Canadian and German mill workers to the more recent Bosnian, Sudanese and Bhutanese arrivals (just to name a few). By juxtaposing extraordinary photos from the MHA’s own collection with images of current refugees and immigrants as documented by photographer Becky Field, Manchester’s historic role as a social and cultural melting pot will come into full focus. We felt that members of your organization may be interested in visiting this exhibit. Attached, see more about the exhibit in this flyer.
