I've been gathering Canadian relatives, in my Beauchamp line
If you have ancestors the same, it could be yours and mine
Felix Beauchamp and Josephte Lalonde, are 7th Generation to me
I am in the twelfth generation, that come down in my ancestry
We have Francois Xavier, Alexandre, Joseph, Adeline, Melitime, Moyse and Theotiste
These are the siblings that stayed in Canada, there were none that I had missed
Gatien, Josephte, Treffle, Regis, and Arsene, all settled in Michigan's U.P.
The Second oldest is Gatien, and he's a Great Great Grandfather to me
It's a large family, and keeps getting bigger with each year
The Index that I have of the names in it, are both far away and near
They come from the area, called Soulanges & Vaudreuil in Quebec
St. Polycarpe, St. Telesphore, Ste. Justine de Newton, and other places I have to check
Several of the descendants, moved down to Glengarry Ontario to live there
Then there are many of them that move around, and are living elsewhere
Just like any family, they find work in other places
It's up to me, to find where they are with all the traces
Sometimes it can be easy, other times quite hard to do
Obituaries help me, other times I haven't a clue
I keep on searching, never knowing when the list will be complete
To another Family Tree branch I go, new cousins I shall meet
