The wife has one side where she is Acadian or L’Acadien as the say in Canada. We spent some time tracing her Nova Scotia roots prior to their displacement to Quebec.
Some interesting history that wasn’t written about at the time.
The ethnic cleansing of the Maritimes still is a relatively obscure piece of history (despite the fact that it gave us much of the Cajun culture in Louisiana). The simplest way to preserve any culture is by having children and passing it on.
Thanks KC Burke. That’s a subject I know nothing about, the Quebec history.
