Bi-Centenary Reunion of the Descendants of Louis and Jacques Du Bois Emigrants to America 1660 and 1675 at New Paltz New York 1875 - Classic Reprint Author:Unknown Author Excerpt from Bi-Centenary Reunion of the Descendants of Louis and Jacques Du Bois: Emigrants to America, 1660 and 1675, at New Paltz, New York, 1875 — Every kind of convention has been called together, in this active, associative day of ours, but none more remarkable than the one whose doings we are about to set in order.

Alas, how easily we ignore the ancestor that we never saw, even no further off than a grandfather!

How this convention came to be appointed, is not the least interesting of the transactions, and will form a part of these collections.
