Nice to see your post jdemaris about your distant grand mother being an Acadian.I love the Acadian Music and culture.I play fiddle myself and often listen to Cajun music.Mary Chapin Carpenter "Down at the Twist and Shout" for instance!Certainly the expulsion of the Acadians from Grand Pre near where I now live was not one of the prouder moments in our Canadian History.
I also have a French back ground having discovered our French connection recently.Two summers ago we visited France and met some of our French cousins living in Britany. My Great Great Grand father came from this area in France and was drafted into the navy duing the war and jumped ship so we believe in Newfoundland changed his name from L'Bulloch to Rioux his stepmothers name and lived his life there married and rasied a family of six.He farmed and worked a small lobster canning factory his own business.
We found out in France on our visit ,his own brother died not knowing what had happened to his brother,a sad story.He often went to the sea shore and stared across the water wondering what had happened to his beloved brother. We now believe he was too afraid to contact his family should he be caught by the French authortities.We are still contacting new cousins and uncovering the story triggered by a book "The Trail of the French Ancestory" I believe by author Bennett his first name escapes me at this moment coupled with the internet a family contact was made in France by my cousin and now we are learning about each other and our extended French family tree.
More to my point,I believe the Brittany area is the same area in France from which the Acadians originally came out from to settle in Nova Scotia.This is indeed an intriging story.Thank you for reading my tractor post. Cheers!

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
