Books and Publications

  • 210 pages 2004 Many Franco-Americans are unaware of the meaning behind the names that they received at their Christening. This publication attempts to cast some light on the  meaning of those names.  Only the names that appeared in most genealogical research in North American records have been used.
  • 197 pages  2016 Jeanne Douillard has spent years studying the history of the French in North America in order to better understand her Franco-American ethnic heritage and experience. This book adds a missing piece to the literature of cultural experience, growing out of one woman’s heart and mind.
  • 156 pages 1997 Between the mid1800s and the early 1900s over 1,500 individuals came to Woonsocket, Rhode Island from Belgium and France to work in the city’s textile mills. This book features an alphabetical listing of those immigrants, often containing birth, marriage, and burial information.
