Over 20 years ago I was told by a paid French researcher that my 2nd great grandmother, Marie Perrine LeBon, was not from the same area of Brittany as her husband, Louis Marie (Jean)Plusquellec. Surmising that he must have met her elsewhere during military service, I tabled her name until I could learn more about doing research in France. A number of months ago I decided to try to locate her in parishes near to the one in which her children were born (in a neighboring Department with records filmed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). This eventually revealed the record of her marriage complete with the name of her native town and of her parents. Nevertheless, I ran into difficulty including Napoleanic civil records as well as parish records in my research. This led me to use WorldConnect to reach FranceGenWeb and other sites from which I posted inquiries for her data. After months without a reply, I received an e-mail message that the sender had a copy of the birth certificate I desired; if I would send my address it would be sent to me. I immediately replied and within 10 days had a copy not only of the requested birth registration, but also that of an elder sister. I also gained new insight into the research that should allow me to continue researching her lines. I know only the first initial and the surname of my benefactor. This person is a volunteer genealogist who was being of great help to me. This is typical of the connections possible around the world through RootsWeb and WorldConnect. I am now off and running with a renewed sense of direction for research in that family line.
