When I w a s a c h i l d , a summer Saturday meant a

and o p p o r t u n i t y , where waves could bear t r e a s u r e s

same s p i r i t t h a t t h e c h i l d r e n r e l e a s e d t h e i r b a l loons, h o p e f u l l y , b u t without g r e a t e x p e c t a t i o n .
Then I waited.
.
A month o r more l a t e r an envelope a r r i v e d ,
postmarked Churubusco. One of my l e t t e r s , d r i f t i n g ,
no doubt, through s e v e r a l hands, had found i t s way
t o Ruth Whalen, t h e n h i s t o r i a n f o r t h e town. Her
family name had been Gagnier, t h e French-spelled
v e r s i o n of my mother's family name (Gonyea), and
s h e had i n h e r p o s s e s s i o n a family h i s t o r y comp i l e d i n t h e 1930's by h e r great-uncle, Brother
S t a n i s l a s . From it she s e n t a l i s t of names inc l u d i n g h e r great-great-grandparents, t h e i r c h i l d r e n and grandchildren. Among t h e grandchildren
was my great-grandfather.
For my p a r t , a b o t t l e
f l o a t i n g upon t h e waves a t O l i v o ' s Beach could not
have been more s u r p r i s i n g , nor t h e c o n t e n t s more
exciting !
T h i s began a correspondence between Ruth and
me, through which I was a b l e t o complete my family
c h a r t s and repay h e r g e n e r o s i t y by supplementing
h e r family h i s t o r y . It l e d d i r e c t l y t o a d e l i g h t f u l pilgrimage t o Quebec i n 1980, and i t h a s made
me more w i l l i n g than e v e r t o send my message i n
unusual and u n c e r t a i n ways o r d i r e c t i o n s , s i n c e ,
more t h a n once, I have been rewarded. I have come
t o t h i n k of t h i s kind of l e t t e r w r i t i n g a s "ballooning", because, l i k e t h e c h i l d r e n who s e n t
t h e i r notes i n t o t h e a i r , I lack precise control
of where it w i l l go o r what t h e r e s u l t s w i l l be.
"Ballooning" works b e s t when you have done
your homework i n t h e more u s u a l ways, researching
municipal records, r e p e r t o i r e s , censuses, and
gathering anecdotal m a t e r i a l from known family
members. It can be worth your time i f you seem
t o have reached t h e l i m i t of your resources, and
you would l i k e t o push t h e boundaries a l i t t l e b i t .
I f i t h a s never occurred t o you t o send such a
message, here a r e some suggestions on "ballooning"
f o r t h e amateur genealogist:
1. Check t h e membership l i s t s of t h i s and
o t h e r genealogical s o c i e t i e s t h a t appear somewhere
i n your family t r e e . Prepare a l e t t e r t h a t i s
b r i e f and t o t h e p o i n t concerning t h e n a t u r e and
l i m i t s of your research ( t h i s w i l l show t h e rec i p i e n t t h a t you a r e r e a l l y working and not j u s t
begging information). Explain t h a t you a r e curi o u s t o know i f t h e two of you s h a r e common ancest o r s . Even i f t h e r e i s no c l e a r l i n k a t t h e pres e n t t i m e , ask t h e r e c i p i e n t t o keep you i n mind
a s he o r she l e a r n s more. Offer t o do t h e same,
and t h e n , remember t o do i t . I n your l e t t e r , be
s u r e t o include any c h a r t s t h a t p e r t a i n d i r e c t l y
t o t h e l i n e about which you a r e i n q u i r i n g . Often,
a person i n t h i s category w i l l r e p l y with a copy
of h e r generation c h a r t . It i s a good idea t o
keep t h e s e i n a s p e c i a l l o o s e l e a f binder o r f i l e
which you can review p e r i o d i c a l l y
.
2 . Examine telephone d i r e c t o r i e s f o r t h e towns
where your a n c e s t o r s l i v e d . (These are o f t e n availa b l e a t l a r g e p u b l i c l i b r a r i e s , o r you can check
them when you t r a v e l ) . I f you do w r i t e t o someone whose name you have l o c a t e d i n a phone book,
remember t h a t t h i s i n d i v i d u a l i s probably not a n
amateur g e n e a l o g i s t . He w i l l need t o know t h e
n a t u r e of your p r o j e c t , where you got h i s name,
and why you seek information from him. When you
ask f o r information, guide him with examples of
what you a r e i n t e r e s t e d i n , b u t l e a v e i t openended, while a s s u r i n g him t h a t you want only a s
much information a s h e i s happy t o g i v e . When
you r e q u e s t photos o r o t h e r m a t e r i a l s , a s k f o r
c o p i e s r a t h e r t h a n o r i g i n a l s , and expect t o pay
t h e c o s t of reproducing them. I f you must a s k t o
borrow something, t e l l him t o be s u r e t h a t he i s
comfortable sending i t , and a s s u r e him t h a t i t
w i l l be handled c a r e f u l l y and r e t u r n e d promptly.
Always r e t u r n borrowed m a t e r i a l s a s soon a s poss i b l e . (Keep i n mind t h a t you cannot guarantee
a g a i n s t damage o r l o s s i n t h e post!)
3 . Contact very d i s t a n t , known r e l a t i v e s .
Don't f o r g e t e s t r a n g e d r e l a t i v e s - you may f i n d
t h e y b u r i e d t h e h a t c h e t long ago. Follow t h e
same g u i d e l i n e s a s f o r "phone book" c o n t a c t s . Desc r i b i n g your work a s a p r o j e c t w i t h which t h e y can
h e l p i s a way of making them f e e l involved. Be
s u r e t h e s e people g e t c o p i e s of your work i f they
show any i n t e r e s t . Sending p e r i o d i c u p d a t e s h e l p s
them t o keep you i n mind. But, i f you f i n d t h e
door i s c l o s e d , don't push i t . Other doors w i l l
open.
4. Don't f o r g e t t h e genuine "balloon shot"!
I f a l l you know i s t h e name of t h e town someone
was from, w r i t e anyway. Try t h e town c l e r k , t h e
head l i b r a r i a n of t h e n e a r e s t p u b l i c l i b r a r y , and
any l o c a l h i s t o r i c a l s o c i e t i e s . You might also
t r y V.F.W. and Foreign Legion H a l l s , a s w e l l a s
other c i v i c o r e t h n i c organizations.
F i n a l l y , remember t h a t you a r e imposing on t h e
r e c i p i e n t ' s t i m e . Your letter should be c l e a n l y
w r i t t e n o r typed, concise and courteous. Your
chances of r e c e i v i n g a response i n c r e a s e i f you
i n c l u d e a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Should a f r i e n d l y correspondence develop from t h e
i n i t i a l c o n t a c t , t h i s w i l l n o t continue t o be nec e s s a r y , and even t h e c o s t of m a t e r i a l s exchanges
may balance o u t . Send thank-you n o t e s f o r any information o r h e l p you r e c e i v e , so t h e r e c i p i e n t
w i l l be s u r e h e r e f f o r t s a r e a p p r e c i a t e d , and when
a p p r o p r i a t e , send updates on your p r o g r e s s . Shari n g your own information f r e e l y i s t h e b e s t way
t o ensure an e q u a l l y i n f o r m a t i v e response.
But do n o t t h i n k t h a t g e t t i n g information i s
t h e only reason f o r t h e s e l e t t e r s . Each one i s
an adventure, an o p p o r t u n i t y t o s h a r e a mutual interest and t o develop o r r e k i n d l e a f r i e n d s h i p
( t r u l y a t r e a s u r e both common and wonderful). No
doubt, some of your message w i l l be blown o u t t o
sea. No m a t t e r , though, f o r i n sending them, you
w i l l have t h e r i g h t i d e a !

Both t h e b r i d e and t h e groom a r e s a i d t o

.
I n October of 1908, Aram P o t h i e r was nominated
by t h e Republican P a r t y f o r t h e post of Governor of
t h e S t a t e of Rhode I s l a n d , winning t h i s p o s i t i o n by
a p l u r a l i t y of 7,270 v o t e s . I n 1909, he received
t h e honor of a renomination and on t h e 2nd of November of t h a t year, was r e e l e c t e d by t h e l a r g e s t
m a j o r i t y ever given t o a g u b e r n a t o r i a l candidate i n
t h e h i s t o r y of our s t a t e . More noteworthy was t h e
f a c t t h a t t h a t year was an "off year" i n p o l i t i c a l
circles.
A s Governor, he enjoyed a g r e a t p r e s t i g e ,
which showed i t s e l f i n h i s becoming known a s a
p r o g r e s s i v e reformer. During h i s six y e a r s i n
o f f i c e , he admirably discerned t h e needs of t h e
s t a t e and i t s c i t i z e n s . H i s speeches, always
models of c l a r i t y and p r e c i s i o n , gained him t h e
support of both t h e people and t h e General Assembly.
During h i s term of o f f i c e , much was accompl i s h e d . Thanks t o h i s i n f l u e n c e , t h e S t a t e cons t i t u t i o n was amended, and e l e c t i o n s were changed
t o biannually, r a t h e r than annually. He l i k e w i s e
c r e a t e d a more modern system f o r the imposition of
t a x e s , c r e a t i n g a s t a t e o f f i c e of t a x a t i o n . He
a l s o e s t a b l i s h e d a p u b l i c u t i l i t i e s commission, and
formed a commission, empowered t o hand-out c o n t r a c t s
f o r t h e smoother o p e r a t i o n of t h e d i v e r s e departments
of s t a t e management.
Another g r e a t achievement which took p l a c e duri n g t h e governorship of Aram P o t h i e r was one which
opened Rhode I s l a n d t o t h e world of commerce. Under P o t h i e r ' s i n f l u e n c e , a new wharf was c o n s t r u c t e d
a t t h e p o r t of Providence f o r a c o s t of two m i l l i o n
d o l l a r s . The f i r s t n a v i g a t i o n company t o u s e t h i s
new wharf f o r t h e t r a n s p o r t of passengers and t r a d e
was t h e French Fabre Line. Cyprien Fabre and Company
of M a r s e i l l e s , which had been o p e r a t i n g small steamers i n t h e Mediterranean Sea s i n c e 1874, began a f t e r
a couple of experimental voyages, a M a r s e i l l e s t o
New York s e r v i c e , with t h e s a i l i n g of t h e 2,500 t o n
steamer SCOTIA i n A p r i l of 1882.
A t t h e t u r n of t h e c e n t u r y , t h e Company commissioned f o u r new s h i p s of l a r g e r s i z e and i n c r e a s ed accomodations, while t h r e e more were added p r i o r
t o World War I , i n c l u d i n g t h e three-funnelled PATRIA.
The Company's only l o s s was t h e SANT'ANNA, torpedoed
during t h e War i n t h e Mediterranean. The following
y e a r , t h e VENEZIA was destroyed by f i r e i n t h e North
A t l a n t i c during one of i t s voyages.
I n honor of t h e Governor, and t h e opening of
t h e wharf h e r e i n Rhode I s l a n d t o u s e by t h i s Company, a s i s t e r s h i p t o t h e PATRIA was b u i l t and
c h r i s t e n e d t h e PROVIDENCE, launched i n August 1914.
It made i t s maiden voyage t o North America on t h e
1 s t of June 1920. T h i s s h i p s a i l e d f o r t h i r t y - o n e

Of p a r t i c u l a r i n t e r e s t t o M r . W i l f r i d E. Varieur
of Stamford, Connecticut, h e w r i t e s :
1921 end of June (I was then 1 7 ) . Within
a week a f t e r (high school) graduation from
C e n t r a l F a l l s ' Sacred Heart Academy, I
became t h e second a p p r e n t i c e h i r e d by t h e
owner of Rhode I s l a n d ' s only (then) int e r n a t i o n a l steamship r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s , t h e

was t h e r e v i v a l of ocean t r a v e l a f t e r

Banker Aram P o t h i e r , then between guberna t o r i a l s t i n t s , was a V.I.P. c l i e n t of
t h e agency and c l o s e f r i e n d of our M r .
Church. He (Aram P o t h i e r ) had u s appointed P o r t Passenger Agents f o r t h e Fabre
Line s h i p s . Thanks t o my fluency i n

for

t r u l y emotional. Not only seeing my
very f i r st " l i v e " ocean l i n e r , but
" o f f i c i a l l y 1 ' involved with i t s passengers.7
On t h e 12th of A p r i l 1910, when t h e Grand
Trunk Railway decided t o c o n s t r u c t a l i n e down int o Rhode I s l a n d . Governor P o t h i e r became an ardent
champion of t h i s e n t e r p r i s e , and signed a c h a r t e r
f o r t h e Southern New England Railway Company on
t h a t day. Unfortunately, t h e company went bankr u p t , and t h e dream was never r e a l i z e d .
In addition t o h i s duties a s a financier, the
newly-appointed P r e s i d e n t of t h e Union Trust Company of Providence was a l s o t r e a s u r e r of t h e followi n g companies: t h e Guerin Spinning Company, t h e
Alsace Worsted Company, t h e Rosemont Dyeing Company,
and t h e Montrose Worsted Company. More than any
o t h e r man i n Woonsocket, M r . P o t h e i r was instrurnenta 1 i n making t h e c i t y a c e n t e r of new i n d u s t r i e s .
While abroad, he was ever on t h e a l e r t f o r opportu n i t i e s t o advance t h e i n d u s t r i a l standing of h i s
c i t y and S t a t e , and a s a r e s u l t , Woonsocket soon
became one of t h e world's c e n t e r s f o r t h e manufact u r e of woolen and worsted y a r n s by t h e French and
Belgian processes. H e was likewise instrumental

Aram P o t h i e r was e l e c t e d Governor of t h e S t a t e
of Rhode I s l a n d f o r another term i n 1925, and served
i t s c i t i z e n s u n t i l h i s untimely death i n off i c e , on
t h e 3rd of February 1928.
With Church and S t a t e u n i t i n g t o pay
him honor, t h e f u n e r a l of Governor
Aram J u l e s P o t h i e r was h e l d Wednesday
morning [February 8,19281 i n t h e
Cathedral [SS. P e t e r C Paul, Providence].
The g r e a t church was f i l l e d by an assemblage r e p r e s e n t i n g a l l walks of l i f e

Following a P o n t i f i c a l Mass of Requiem,
sung by R t . Rev. Bishop Hickey, and a
eulogy by R t . Rev. Msgr. Biassing, t h e
body, e s c o r t e d by S t a t e t r o o p e r s , was

It i s without a doubt, t h a t t h e l i f e and accomplishments of t h i s man h a s earned him a p l a c e

himself, when he s a i d of t h e l a t e Governor:
I am very s o r r y t o l e a r n of t h e sudden

always ready t o p l a c e himself a t t h e
s e r v i c e of t h e people. The S t a t e of
Fthode I s l a n d may w e l l do him honor a s
h e r foremost c i t i z e n of t h e hour. The
Church too, pays him well-deserved
homage a s a f a i t h f u l son who succeeded
w e l l i n t h e f u l f i l l m e n t of h i s d u t i e s
t o God and t o his country. May he rest

Your committee h a s been involved i n many projects.
Some a r e now completed, some a r e n e a r i n g

we have undertaken t h e t a s k of cataloguing a l l of

t h e Forget F i l e ; and family h i s t o r i e s and genealog i e s . Each p i e c e of m a t e r i a l h a s been assigned a
code number and l a b e l e d with t h e i d e n t i f i c a t i o n ,
cabinet number, and s h e l f number. These numbers
w i l l hopefully help members quickly l o c a t e t h e
m a t e r i a l they want, and w i l l allow t h e Society t o
keep an a c c u r a t e inventory of what w e possess.
This inventory w i l l a l s o be important f o r t a x and
insurance purposes. A s t h e s e numbers a r e assigned,
a card catalogue i s a l s o being developed. T h i s
catalogue w i l l allow a r e s e a r c h e r t o look up a

p r o f e s s i o n a l format.
No t a s k of t h i s magnitude could be undertaken
by j u s t one person. The Library Committee would
