Might have found something of interest.
It looks like an office door nameplate.
It reads: "The Equity. EB Eddy Co. Hull Quebec."

Maybe tell me what it is.

Thank you,

David Berthelot

I wish to thank Carol Martin for her article "Saving Cemeteries In Chelsea" 2008. My daughter is a serving member of the RCAF and will be part of the military contingent participating in this year's (2017) Remembrance Day service in Chelsea. My husband and I stay informed via our daughter on her military activities. Chelsea was an unknown town to us and when researching on the internet we came across your website and the article by Carol Martin. We and our daughter feel enriched by what we learned.

Best Regards,

Dear Editor,

In my research for my g-g-grandfather’s sawmill at East Templeton I have found details of many mills in the Quebec region near his, but rarely any mention of this mill.

REQUEST FOR OLD PHOTOS OF WOMEN’S HOCKEY PLAYERS:

I am preparing a “coffee table book” on ladies’ hockey history in Quebec. A fascinating story! Since the 1890s, women have been playing, among other places, in Montreal, Sherbrooke, Quebec City, Three-Rivers and Lachute. And Anglo-Quebecers have been the real pioneers of the game in the province.

So, if you have stories to share or old pictures (1890-1940) of Quebec women’s teams or action shots of women playing hockey, I’d be very grateful if you could contact me.

Greetings,

Thank you for providing such a comprehensive (and quite fascinating!) web site of materials on Anglophones in Quebec! Your collection of Web-based journals, oral histories, and many other materials have been a tremendous help to me as I continue to learn about English-speaking groups in Quebec.

Many thanks for all your efforts.

Dear Editor,

My name is Brian David Dougherty and I am emailing you from Prince George, British Columbia. The reason for this email - I'm inquiring about the gun that is located in City Square in Buckingham, Quebec. That gun is off of HMCS BUCKINGHAM.

My Uncle, Lyle Dougherty (now deceased) was stationed aboard the BUCKINGHAM during WW2. That gun was the one that my uncle Lyle used to operate while stationed on board the frigate. My other uncle, Keith Dougherty, was in the Canadian Merchant Marine during WW2.

Dear Editor,

I was just searching the web for historical background on Western Quebec. What I saw on this web page concerned me as it did not mention a small hamlet known now as Vinton and originally known as Franktown. It was a very busy and thriving community in the 1800s and 1900s. Its only church, St. Elizabeth Roman Catholic Church, is still used and has been designated a historical site. Other towns around there were missions of it along with St. Anne's on Calumet Island.

I feel that Vinton deserves mention at least for its historical value.

Dear Editor,

I understand from family members who have visited the Bryson House in Fort Coulonge that there is a photo of my grandfather, Thomas Graveline, and his brother, Camille, in their youth, on display...

How can we acquire a copy? This request is for my father who is now 84 and remains in contact with his family in Coulonge. He has been in Ontario for a long time but County Pontiac has always remained in his heart.
