All the Best Direct, From Sorel-Tracy, Quebec Perhaps it was the river, the land, or the abundant wildlife, that drew these early settlers southward. Whatever their reasons were, these French- Canadian settlers, some from Sorel, Quebec Canada, arrived and established the town of Centerville in the mid-1800's. Many of our community's residents are direct descendants of these early -- settlers. These people are proud to hold on to their French-Canadian heri- tage. Pierre Messier, a 43 year old PhysIcs graduate, is a native of Sorel and stili resides in that community. He and I have begun corresponding via e-mail about his hometown. His native language of course is French, however, does write and understand English fairly well (better than some Americans!)
