       By clicking on Gaston Guay you will go to a story page about Gaston, the first of the family line to sail to the Nouvelle France in 1672. This story was written in French by the author Robert Prevost, a descendant of Martin Prevost, sister of Jeanne Prevost who was the spouse of Gaston Guay.  I translated the story to English so you could all read it. 

      If you click on Armel Guay you will see a letter that my Uncle Armel, now deceased and the youngest of my father's brothers wrote to me in 1995. It describes a little of what he remembered of his younger days in Fall River, Mass.  He was my dearest and most humorist uncle who loved to tell stories of the Guay family. I only wished I had recorded all the stories he told me so that I could have passed them on. I miss him.  In one of the stories,  he recollected that in 1886 (the same year as the Statue of Liberty was unveiled) Francois Xavier Guay moved from Baie-St-Paul to the Boston area for a year before moving to Fall River. He brought his father Jacob with him. Three of the ten children later returned to Canada. 

     Clicking on Leonard Babin will bring you to a page which has a story of Len's visit to Montreuil Sous Bois on the outskirts of Paris in 2003. His family is the Castonguays from the "Flint Section" of Fall River. And coincidentally, he lives only eight miles away from me in Connecticut. It's a small world, after all.

        As I get or remember more information, I will update this page. If any of my relatives or friends know of any stories or information that I could use to share with my cousins and their children, then please contact me. Thank you.
