Spring 2025 Zoom Meeting
The Spring 2025 Meeting on Zoom will begin at 7:00 p.m. CST on Sunday, March 23, 2025.
The meeting will last about 1 ½ hours. We will have a short business meeting followed by a presentation by TDHS Lifetime Member Charlene Notgrass.
Charlene will share her photos and experiences from the memorable trip she and several other TDHS members made in 2017 to Boucherville, Quebec, Canada, the town of Timothy’s birth. The trip coincided with the 350th anniversary of the founding of Boucherville, which was named after Timothy’s great-grandfather, Pierre Boucher (1622 – 1717).
The group of TDHS members and their spouses joined Canadian dignitaries and townspeople of Boucherville and other Boucher descendants from the U.S., Canada and France to recognize the remarkable life and contributions of Pierre and the historical events related to that era of Nouvelle-France which became Canada. The TDHS travelers visited multiple sites where they learned about Pierre Boucher, who began his life as the son of a carpenter, but who was later rewarded for his service with a title of nobility by King Louis XIV. They also learned about the exemplary town Pierre founded.
Charlene will share photos of significant places in Boucherville and other cities where Pierre made an impact, including Quebec City, Trois-Riviéres (Three Rivers) and Montreal.
All TDHS members will receive an email with the link to the Zoom meeting a few days ahead of the meeting. Any others who wish to attend should email claudia_kovar@hotmail.com to request the link.
