Isaac & Dr. Lee

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Canyon Wolf

While poking around the other day in old newspapers and looking for something entirely different, I came upon a really sweet little treasure. Actually 3 little treasurers in a row that really make a big impact on the overall picture.

No matter how many different ways I search in old newspapers, the OCR process and the often extremely poor quality of the print, pretty much guarantees my searches will miss things. Today’s post is proof of this. I had already used every trick I could think of to root out the names I was looking for in this particular paper. Since the newspaper was in exactly the right place and time period, I decided to take the time to learn what I could about the “Indian” issues of the day of concern to local citizens.

Kanistanaux – Research To-Do List

Posted on March 9, 2012 by Canyon Wolf

Today’s post will outline the research that needs to be done to properly document this family. Armed with this information, perhaps descendants will become more involved and share in the adventure by working on some of these items themselves or contributing a few dollars to help me with the research.
Like the individual pages, I will continuously update this page, crossing off completed items and adding new items, so bookmark this post and visit often. I will also add a link to this page on the Kanistanaux Home Page.
