BOOK - The Residential Schools at Spanish, Ontario: The Flu Epidemic of 1918-1919 Translated by William Lonc S.J.; Edited by Jacques Monet S.J. Published by The Canadian Institute of Jesuit Studies, Toronto, 2009 More than ninety years ago, around the end of World War One, the terrible epidemic of influenza called "The Spanish Flu" spread over the world. It killed 21 million people, including about 50,000 Canadians. Here as elsewhere, it was especially vicious in attacking the young and the vigorous. Nor, certainly, did it spare the Native Residential Schools set up at Spanish Ontario. Between October 22nd, 1918 and January 19th, 1919, almost everyone on the staff and in the student body was struck down, several of the staff near death for a few days and nineteen boys and girls indeed dying of the virus. This book includes an accurate English translation of the French language records that document the distress caused to the students and staff of the school during the great flu epidemic including records of deaths. Student deaths between 1913 to 1938 from other causes are also documented. ISBN 978-0-9811106-3-9 (Softcover) More information
BOOK - Catherine Tekakwitha: Her Life "Lily of the Mohawks"By Fr. Peirre Cholenec, S.J. Her Spiritual Advisor and Biographer Translated to English by William Lonc S.J. Published by William Lonc, Toronto, 2002 Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, baptised as Catherine Tekakwitha and informally known as Lily of the Mohawks, is a Roman Catholic saint, who was an Algonquin–Mohawk virgin and religious laywoman, commonly known as "Lily of the Mohawks". The story told in this book is based on a xerographic photocopy of a type-written transcript of a document... based on Fr. Cholenec's original Autograph. Thus, the story is told by an eye-witness -- who was her spiritual director -- of the events in her life from the time she arrived at the Jesuit mission just outside of Montreal, known at that time as the Sault Saint-Louis or Saint-Louis Rapids. The English translation is meant to follow the French rather closely, but with an ear to producing an easily readable story in English. ISBN 978-0-9730161-2-3 More information
BOOK - Catherine Tegakouitha, Iroquois Maiden By Felix Martin, S.J.; Translated by Henry Van Rensselaer, S.J.; Post-translated by William Lonc S.J.

Although this Biography of Blessed Catherine Tekakitha is not an eye-witness account as were those of Frs. Cholenac and Chauchetiere, nevertheless the author, Fr. Felix Martin, was closely associated with Catherine's village Caughnawaga in the second half of the nineteenth century and is remembered for his historical writings.

BOOK - First Métis Families of Quebec, 1622-1748. Volume 1: Fifty-Six FamiliesBy Gail Morin Published by Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, 2012 The term Métis originally referred to the offspring produced from the intermarriage of early French fur traders with Canadian Native Americans. Later, there were also Anglo Métis (known as “Countryborn”)--children of Scottish, English, and other European fathers and indigenous mothers. The Métis were also formerly known as half-breeds or mixed-bloods. Today, the French and Anglo Métis cultures have essentially merged into a distinct group with official recognition as one of the three Aboriginal Peoples of Canada. This new work, the first in a purported six-volume series, traces the descendants of the 56 original Métis families for up to three generations. Richly detailed, fully sourced, and indexed, this work must be regarded as the starting point for Métis genealogy. ISBN 9780806355610 (softcover) More information
