I have been researching and writing books on the Robidous for many years and have tracked most of the descendants of Andre Robidou who came to Quebec in the mid 1600s.  The 5 books that I have published on the Robidous are shown on page 2 of this site.          I have also published several books on the vital statistics for the 3 upstate New York counties of Clinton, Franklin and Essex. The 3 counties are in the northeastern part of New York State and are bordered on the north by Canada and on the east by Lake Champlain and Vermont.  The books are described on pages 3 and 4.      I am working on an update to the Robidou Genealogy and already have connected many of the lines that were not previously connected. If you have any information on the lines that is not presently in the Robidou Genealogy, please email me. I expect this to be my final update and it will not be completed until late 2010 or early 2011. I will use the 1940 U.S. Census that will be released in early 2010 to find additional cousins in the process. Clyde M.
