My Dad

Hi Cousins,
Went to visit my Dad today. He is still doing good where he is living. Nothing new with my brothers family, but I will keep everyone posted.
Sue, I will email you to let you know the address and directions of where my Dad lives. If any of the cousins are interested just let me know.

Uncle Al and Aunt Julia

Paul here ...

This is a picture taken during a visit to Uncle Al and Aunt Julia when they were living in Coxsakie, in March 2006.

I was in the Albany area working and had an extra day to stay. Suzy and Gary had just bought a lot on Sleepy Hollow Lake near Coxsackie and wanted to show me the lake and the lot. After the lake tour Suzy and I went over to where Uncle Al and Aunt Julia were living at the time for a visit and took this picture.

View a video of that visit, with a surprise ending. Click here ...

Hi Cousins,
Just joined the group. This is great way for all of us to keep in touch, and to keep up with the family news.
I will be the spokesman for the Alfred family. So I will keep everyone up to date about my family.
My Dad is doing great. He is now living at the Pavillion which is an assistent living facilty located in Catskill. He seems happy there, and he is well taken care of. The Staff there are great with him, and the food is good.
Well have to go, hope to hear from someone soon.
Love, Judee

Meet Bob D'Aoust from Canada

Tom here.
Several years ago I got a phone call from Bob D'Aoust. He said he was in Charlotte on business, but lived in Canada. Because we shared a last name, he was wondering if we might be related. I sent him our family tree.

Soon after, he called Aunt Irene and asked about Grandpa's brothers and sisters. With that info, he figured out how we were related. Bob says he is my 7th cousin, once removed. I think that means we share a grandpa eight generations back on my side and nine generations back on his side. Got that? Bob has traced us all the way back to the 1600s.

We stay in touch by email, and occasionally talk on the phone. I send him all the obits on the Daoust family.

Here's his self-written bio:

Bob was born in St. John's, Newfoundland, in 1945. He moved to Ottawa in 1947.

His Father's mother, Catherine and Sister Anne raised him until the age of 10 ages then his Father remarried in 1955. Bob had a great relationship with his stepmother Pat and they had countless wonderful times together. Pat and Percy started a new family when Bob was 16 years of age. Bob, attended elementary separate school and then on to the Ottawa Technical High School, graduating in 1963. Bob worked from the age of 11 on a paper route. While in high school Bob worked at a local food mart (Steinberg's Foods) as a pack and stock boy. Bob's first full time job after high school was with Northern Electric R & D Laboratory at Crystal Beach, Ottawa.

In 1964 Bob joined NCR Canada, moving to Belleville in 1967, got married and raised two great kids. He went back to night school for a number of years then moved to NCR Waterloo Engineering in 1982 as a Solution Engineer. Bob travels around the world resolving hardware and software problems on products designed and manufactured in Waterloo. Bob has a number of hobbies, stamp collector, messing around with his computer and working on the family genealogy. The genealogy bug started in 1987 after his son Jason asked his father about his Grandfather.

Bob is the author and publisher of the D'Aoust Genealogy Project Book.

He plans to continue working on the Genealogy project for many years and wishes to hear from any interested family members.
