Interesting History,
By Science Struggler (Southeastern Connecticut) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The French-Canadian Heritage in New England (Paperback)
My mother's family (and possibly a branch of my father's) is French-Canadian, and I have been doing some family genealogy research. This book provides interesting background material in that area, and jives with the experiences of my ancestors. It even mentions a man who spent a little time in Plainfield, Connecticut, where my grandmother met him. He became famous as Brother Andre in Quebec, and has recently been named a Saint by the Catholic Church. My Mother, my brother, and my sister all really enjoyed this book. For interesting and historically accurate information about French-Canadians in New England, or just for a pleasant read, you should consider this book.
