My cousin Harris is frequently mentioned in statewide publications and magazines with his work with the NC Travel and Tourism Board and his role with Grandfather Mountain.
Harris received a letter from Adrien Prevost of the Prevost d' Amerique, a "Prevost Provost Family Association" which publishes a quarterly newsletter.
Adrien Provost letter to Harris
In reviewing the associations current website,
As I look at the original ancestors associated with this part of the Prevost clan, I do not see an immediate link to our Jackson Creek, NC ancestors in either timeframe or geography but my research is certainly not exhaustive.The Prévost-Provost Family Association was incorporated on March 26th, 1990. Five temporary administrators put the plans in place needed to promote the growth of our Association as years go by. These pioneers were : Pierre Provost, the first President; Adrien Provost the founding Secretary ; Robert Prévost, journalist and renowned Genealogist and Historian; Arthur Prévost ,a Journalist (brother of Robert) and Michel Provost who was the first Treasurer and Archivist-Genealogist. Michel kept his position of Archivist-genealogist and was elected new President at the 1994 annual meeting. The first general meeting was held on June 29th, 1991 in Laval, Quebec.The main goal of the Association is to find all the people bearing our name and all those interested in our association..
I will drop a line to the current leadership of this Quebec based family association and let them know of the NC line.
