We will be looking for my roots. It is 1984.
When we come home, I will be glad to show you some
of the theatre posters my Daddy collected in Louisville.
Come and see the posters.

| E-Mail Correspondence: From: Andre Tousignant Date: Sunday, May 18, 1998 04:25 PM To: Nancy E. Bowie Subject: Genealogical Information Dear Nancy I thank you very much for that fast and interesting answer. I am a little disappointed that Andre Tousignant is not the true name; it would have been such a nice story to put in my genealogy. But, some other way, I am most flattered that you have chosen our name for this novel. Don't change anything. I thank you also for the photo of Leo. It reminds me when I was in the Canadian Army during the last World War. I have 14 Leos listed in my genealogy and a few of them could be him but it is not possible to identify him positively. You have been very nice to answer me and I still wish you good luck. Andre Tousignant |

Thank you for your kind thoughts about my novel. I wish a publisher felt the same way. I was about 16 in Louisville,Kentucky when I met Leo at a USO dance. I don't recall too much but apparently I did see him once or twice and must have corresponded with him for some time later while visiting friends in Detroit he came down and we spent the day together. |

| I am
not sure where he was from ... I thought Montreal but I am not sure. When
I began writing this suspense story about the Canadian raid on Dieppe I
remembered the name which I had thought so pretty and unusual enough not
to invade anyone's privacy and I see that I have done just that.
My name then was Nancy Calveard. Since then my husband and I have made three trips to Normandy and Brittany. Actually happened to be in Dieppe on the 40th anniversary of the landing. It was quite an affair and we were surprised to see as many Germans as there were Canadians. Best wishes, -----Original Message----- My name is Andre Tousignant. I am a genealogist, for over 40 years, working on the Tousignant families. For this reason, I was wondering if that Andre Tousignant, one of the principal figures of this novel, is a true or fictional name? If it is his true name, I want to carry out research in France to find more about genealogical information. One Andre Tousignant was born on september 20th 1882 and I never could find anything else about him. If he is the good one, that means he would have been 60 years old at the moment of this event. That makes sense, I guess! I thank you in advance for this awaited answer and I wish you good luck. Andre Tousignant |
