Last week I was able to make a quick stop in Missouri to basically conduct a reconnaissance for a future research trip. I was able to see some of the old Canivet land in Shannon County and I visited the library (which was closed) in Eminence, the county seat of Shannon county. It really is a pretty area of the country and I look forward to visiting sometime in the not-so-distant future.

I updated the page on Antoine and created a new one for Martha Jane Singleton. Martha's page has a lot information about her siblings and her parents. I am also working on a page for Antoinette that I hope to finish before the month is over. Most of the information is based on Arthur Hall's The Gin Ridge Clans.

Speaking of The Gin Ridge Clans, copies are available for sale. You can contact Arthur Hall directly concerning this. Please contact me for his information if you do not receive the e-mail that I sent out concerning his contact information. The cost for the book is $40 plus $3 shipping and handling (please note that the cost may change due to shipping and handling fees, etc.).

One bit of business: I am looking for a new name for this website. I created it in 1999 before I realized that there were so many allied families and various spellings that derived from Antoine's surname. So, I am looking for suggestions for a new name that does not leave anyone out!
