"The Truax / Truex Genealogy Project"
compiled by Jennifer Smith and Anita Bradford, edited by Jennifer Smith

QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER

The Association of Descendants of Philippe du Trieux publishes a newsletter in March, June, September and December of each year, which it distributes to Association members as well as various libraries, archives and family organizations. Each issue contains a wealth of information in the form of historical and biographical profiles, transcriptions of church, vital, census and other records, obituaries, queries, photographs, family news and much, much more.

As of June of 2000, the Association newletter is also available in online form, accessible to members only, who are given a special username and password to access the site. New members are given the option of either accessing the online newsletter only, or receiving the traditional 'hard-copy' version by mail. Back-issues are available from the Association for $2.50 each. If you desire to order a large quantity of back issues, contact Robert McDougal for the price, as some early issues were a bit on the ‘thin’ side.

To give you some idea of what is available, here are the feature articles from the past few issues (each issue also contains regular features like 'Queries', 'Letters & Email', 'Celebrity Corner', etc.), PLUS the complete Sept. 2000 issue for your reading pleasure...
