A well known genealogist and researcher recently received a truly distinctive honor. Frank Binette of Laconia, New Hampshire has been designated Genealogiste Emerite (Genealogist Emeritus) by the Federation Quebecoise Des Societes De Genealogie based in Quebec, Canada, for his extensive work in French genealogy over the past decades. His nomination was by genealogical societies in recognition of the quality of his work and research assisting descendants of immigrants from Canada to New Hampshire, the large majority of whom arrived post-Civil War through to World War II.
"It's late in life to be recognized, but it is nice to be recognized," said Frank, now 91.
