            Welcome!  For several years, I have been researching the genealogy of my paternal grandmother (Catherine Cassin) and her ancestors who lived in Valcartier.  During this process, many others have kindly shared their findings with me, most notably Eric Corrigan, Gerry Neville, Majella Murphy and Leonard Conway.  I have developed this website to share these records and writings with others.  Several people have contributed to the site so you will also find information on the communities of Stoneham and Ste-Catherine-de-Jacques Cartier (now Shannon).  Please feel free to email me with records that you would like posted to the site.  Of course, corrections or comments are also welcome.  If you would like to be notified when new material is added, please email me.

Three Letters to Pine River  by Harold Griffin, 2011

 

On a sumptuous August day in 1952, in an agrarian setting, 14-year-old Francis Carroll inadvertently overhears a rancorous confrontation between two farmers.  Several hours later one of the men is murdered.  The occurrence traumatizes an Irish community and mesmerizes a nearby city where the ensuing trial is held.  As a reluctant witness, Francis struggles through the ordeal of testifying.  The ongoing story then blends the tragedy, history and exhilaration of a Canadian Irish experience.
