The following people, books, links, and resources went in to establishing the Melanson Genealogy found on this site. Thanks and appreciation goes to:
- First of all, my family, always the FIRST place to start when working on genealogy. I appreciate everyone's help, enthusiasm, and patience!
- Secondly, Jeff Jordan (the mysterious stranger) and Harvey Theriault, who located Florence Melanson (Poor) Hoyt in Pine St. Cemetery, Auburn, Maine for us. One more mission completed!
- Thirdly, to Alfred Melanson of Florence, Montana, Mike Melanson, owner of The Melanson Family Project, and Michael B. Melanson, author of The Melansons of Nineteenth-Century Southeastern New Brunswick - A Genealogy. All three have been so generous in sharing information with me, and pieceing together my Melanson mystery.
- Finally, to Barbara Meegan of Phoenix, AZ, a.k.a. navybarbie who has been so generous with her time in further tracing our Melanson line. She has confirmed many facts the above gentlemen first located for us, but has gone much further in many ways. Thanks for all your help, Barb!
