My mother-in-law had finished classes for the day at RI College of Education and was waiting in downtown Providence for the bus home to Cranston. Folks at the bus stop noticed it was getting windy and had no idea what was coming.

Decades-long mystery solved: Skull found in New Hampshire linked to child of Quebec family New Jersey researchers have uncovered the story behind a human skull found in New Hampshire and traced to a Quebec family in the 19th century.

"Thanks to advances in forensic science and investigative genetic genealogy, researchers say they have finally uncovered the story behind the remains, tracing them back to a family with links to Quebec more than 200 years ago."

In the 1940s the Institut GΓ©nΓ©alogique Drouin began microfilming records pertaining to French Canadians throughout French Canada and America. Consequently, this filmed set of records has become known as the Drouin Collection.

If you're using Ancestry, it's under the Acadian Drouin Collection.
