In this talk Mike Sevigny will discuss the history of Acadia, the British conquest and the subsequent deportations of the French inhabitants. From a genealogical perspective he will describe what records exist, where to find them and what is available here at the VT French-Canadian Genealogical Society. If you suspect your ancestors might have had Acadian roots then this class will be extremely helpful. Classes at the Vermont Genealogy Library are $5.00 and run from 10:30 to noon. The library is located on Hegeman Ave, Fort Ethan Allen, Colchester. Parking and entrance are across from the State Police Building.
