February Monthly Meeting

Monday, February 10, 2025 (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM)

“Moving South: Canadian Migration to the United States” with Dave Gaboury.

 During a 50 year period around the end of the 19th century, nearly a million Canadians moved to the United States. If you have Canadian ancestors, chances are they were part of this mass migration. We’ll take a look at where they came from, where they went, their reasons for moving south, and how you can trace them in your family tree.

"French Settlement in Canada in the 1600’s" with Chris Pelikan. Chris will talk about Samuel de Champlain’s exploration, settlements, the rise “Mercantilism”, population growth, his ancestors role in this early Canadian history and briefly discuss French migration south in 1700’s.

Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.”
