Each section of this book includes a brief geographical and historical overlook of the times surrounding the French immigrant arrivals in New France (now Canada) in the 16th Century and Germans arriving in Wisconsin in the 19th Century.
The book chiefly follows the Desautels family and subsequently the Boisclair family directly to my husband's maternal great grandparents, George Dennis Tibbits and Maria ÒLouisaÓ Boisclair, to his grandparents, George Edward Tibbits and Gertrude Margaret Bettinger, to his parents, William Patrick Reilly, I. and Natalie Marie Tibbits, and their children and grandchildren.
This book does not attempt to follow every family member of every line through time.
