Seeking Those Who Have Gone Before Us
Remembering the Chagnons Who Came Before Us
Seeking Those Who Have Gone Before Us is a specialized guide to the burial places of members of the Chagnon family and their descendants. Rather than being a general guide to cemetery research, this book brings together information gathered through years of Chagnon family-history research to help relatives locate and learn more about family members who have gone before us.
142 pages • 8.5″ × 11″ paperback • Chagnon burial locations • Cemetery information • Family connections • Memorial research.
Cemeteries preserve an important part of our family story. A gravestone may mark the final resting place of one individual, but taken together, family burials can reveal generations of relationships, migrations, marriages, communities, and connections that might otherwise be forgotten.
This book was created to bring those burial places together in one resource. It provides Chagnon researchers and family members with a way to discover where relatives are buried and to connect the names found in family records with the actual places where their lives are remembered.
For descendants of the Chagnon family, it is both a research resource and a record of remembrance—preserving information about these burial places so that future generations will know where their ancestors and relatives rest.
What You Will Find
In Seeking Those Who Have Gone Before Us, you will find:
- Burial information for members of the Chagnon family and their descendants
- Cemetery locations connected with different branches of the family
- Names, dates, and other information associated with individual burials
- Family connections that help place those individuals within the larger Chagnon family
- A resource for locating the graves of relatives you may have read about in the family history
- Information that can help descendants plan visits to ancestral cemeteries and family graves
- A lasting record of burial places that might otherwise become difficult for future generations to locate
More than a collection of cemetery information, this book is a way of remembering the individuals behind the names. Each grave represents a person who was part of the Chagnon family story, and together their burial places form another chapter in the history of the family.

A Companion to the Chagnon Family History Book
Seeking Those Who Have Gone Before Us also serves as a helpful companion to the Chagnon Family History Book. The Chagnon book documents the family’s history, generations, stories, and connections, while this cemetery guide provides readers with the tools to continue exploring the places where many of those ancestors and relatives were laid to rest.
Together, the two books offer another way to move beyond names and dates and discover the people, places, and stories that make up the Chagnon family legacy.
