Another satisfied customer quote:
"A few years ago, we took a trip to visit Nova Scotia and new Brunswick. While there we purchased your Acadian-Cajun Family Trees CD. By using the information contained on this CD, I was able to increase mine and my wife's ancestry listing from 400+ to over 1700 names which comprise 800+ families. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is Cajun of Acadian descent and who is serious about tracing his or her roots." DWL of Louisiana

"Family Genealogy CD-ROM ©2005"

I am very pleased to announce that you can now order "Acadian-Cajun Family Genealogy" CD-ROM's for the specific family you are researching, at the very modest price of $19.95 each, USA Funds.


These "new edition" CDs are Windows-based, powered by the very popular Brother's Keeper Genealogy Program.

Each CD-ROM includes lineage-linked genealogical information on between 1,000+ to 40,000+ individuals, as noted below. Every effort has been made to eliminate duplicates, while maintaining the integrity of the data. As well, the original 'source' of the data is included, when/where available.

In addition to the extensive lineage-linked database, each CD contain substantial Acadian-Cajun historical texts, a bunch of Acadian songs (with lyrics), maps, family crests and much more, from my Acadian Genealogy Homepage web site.

Permission for use of the Brother's Keeper (version 6.0) has been provided by John Steed and extensive technical support is provided at his official BK web site. 

Requirements: CD-ROM Drive; Windows 95 [up to and including, Vista]. No additional software required.

The "updated icon" means that the information contained on the CD, is consistent with the data of the authoritative Acadian genealogist, Stephen A. White.
(Note: The CDs include numerous variations of spelling of each surname)
 

Of course it will be noted that, while French-Canadian, some of the above-noted families are _not_ Acadian [Click here for an explanation of the difference]. These specific families CD-ROMs are offered to assist your research, given the fact that there were/are numerous inter-marriages between French-Canadians and Acadians.

 
 

SPECIAL NOTE

1. More titles being added monthly. Check back later to see if yours is available! If you don't see the surname you want, e-mail me for availability.
2. Concerned that the specific family branch you are researching is not included on the CD? I am constantly adding new data to my research and if you'd like to contribute YOUR own data for inclusion, merely send me a GEDCOM file (created using your own genealogy program) as an e-mail attachment or by snail mail to: Yvon Cyr, 3-304 Stone Road West, Unit 311, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, N1G 4W4
3. I only accept data files in GEDCOM format (which is created using a genealogy program) and if your own data is presently available in that format, I would _consider_ (see note below) including it on the actual CD-ROM you purchase (at no extra charge to you).
Note: The "quality" of your data has to be acceptable. Contact me for further details.
4.I retain the right to use (or not use) your information and, if/when you send your file, you release any/all copyrights to me.
5. For privacy reasons and to comply with legal issues in that regard, dates of living persons are NOT included on any CD-ROM

 

 Rainbow Line

Mac Computer Users:

The CD will only run on Windows platform, not native MacIntosh. However, I'm told by a "Mac expert", that you can run it using Windows emulation software, such as Virtual PC. Apparently, it is somewhat slower running because of emulation mode, but it works just fine.

Disclaimer: Since all of my CD's are PC-based (and I am NOT a Mac person), I'd be interested to know how well (or even, if) this 'solution' works, from any Mac Users.

Q. Family Tree Maker's Web site says it has abandoned efforts to create a Mac version of that genealogy software. What can Mac owners who want to computerize their genealogy do?


A. Although Family Tree Maker, now on version 16 for Windows, has long been a stalwart in the genealogy software category, it's just one of the options out there for Macintosh computer users.


In fact, there's a whole site dedicated just to Mac roots-and-relatives software at www.macgenealogy.org, and the site also offers news, reviews and user forums.


Some of the Mac-based genealogy programs out there include iFamily for Tiger (ifamilyfortiger.com), which integrates itself with the Mac OS X iPhoto program for organizing family pictures. Other options include MacFamilyTree (www.onlymac.de/ indexe.html) and Reunion (leisterpro.com).


If you are not sure which software to get, all three programs offer trial versions to download from their sites.


The Mac Genealogy site has links to several other Mac-friendly applications and utilities to help you build up your database of personal history.

To order or request additional information

There are three ways you can place your order for the CD(s):

1. The easiest (and fastest) way, is to place your order Online using Visa/Master Card. Security is NOT a concern since your order will be processed on a "secure" server. This means that all the information provided is 'encrypted' so that no one can read your actual credit card information! Merely click the link (just under the Visa/Master Card logo below) and enter the required information. If successful, you will be automatically transferred to a "Thank You" page. (Note: If you receive the error message such as... "Sorry, an error occurred, your transaction was not completed", your order has NOT been processed properly [and your credit card will NOT be charged]. Within 3-4 working days, you will receive an e-mail message from me, confirming receipt of your order and advising the date the CD(s) will be shipped. It's that simple! If you encounter any difficulty placing your order it is usually because the server is "down" for maintenance. Try again in a few minutes. If you still experience difficulty, send me an e-mail and I will follow-up.

2. If you prefer, you can e-mail me your VISA/MASTER CARD information and I will process the order for you.

Special Note for USA Residents

In some regions of the USA, VISA/MASTER CARD has introduced a recent policy of NOT approving "International" orders unless pre-approved by the customer (this is for your protection). I'm told they also apply this new policy, for anyone who have _not_ used their credit card for a long period of time... again, this is for your protection. So, _before_ placing your order, just phone Visa/Master Card and alert them to the fact that you want this transaction approved. FYI.
 

You can now order Online using Visa or Master Card through a secure gateway server. Merely click on the graphic links below, to be transferred to the secure server...

Important Notes

1. If you want your order shipped to an address different than your home address, please indicate that in the "Comments Section" of the order form.

3. When your order is processed correctly, you are automatically transferred to a "Thank You" page. Your credit card is NOT charged, until you are transferred to this "Thank You Page".
