November 09, 2022 Was the Acadian Deportation a Cultural Genocide?
If the Acadian Expulsion and the policies behind it were to happen in another country today would we call it an attempt at Cultural Genocide? Listen to Marc & you decide?

This is the amazing story of how an interest in understanding his unique family name lead Marc Bastarache into a genealogical search unearthing discoveries about his Acadian Ancestry.
His story includes a war, imprisonment, escape reunion and the cycle continued throughout the period of The Acadian Deportation. He debunks the Longfellows story of Evageline which Romanticized teh story but got facts wrong as well as pointing out how a lot of New England's Business Families at the time including future President of The Continental Congress and Prominent signer of the Declaration of Independance John Hancock profited off the British Government's policy of Acadian Expulsion.
His story is what we can all look forward to finding when we dig into our past every family has those people who lived and experienced History in a way that is unique. While you might not find a King, Queen, President etc in your tree you'll find everyday people who did extraordinary things which shaped the history of a Nation, Community or even your own family.

April 01, 2022 Getting By With A Little Help From Our Friends
In my fifth episode, I begin a look Canadian Census over the next few episodes with an overview of the importance of Canadian Censuses for Genealogists.

In my second segment I sit down and talk with fellow Canadian Podcast Genealogist Kael Sherman of The Maple Family Treehouse Podcast, we discuss his podcast, how he podcasts with a sense of purpose, the importance of understanding cultural history in conjunction with understanding our individual family history. We talk about his recently discovered Acadian ancestry and understanding that within the greater context of his family tree.
*Post discussion Kael mentioned he quoted the Cyr Family arrival date wrong it was not 1624 but rather it is actually somewhere between 1644 – 1686.

In Our third segment, I discuss briefly the idea of Collaborative Genealogy using sites such as Wikitree to how to share your work in a mutually beneficial way reaching out to family members you may not know, and making contact to help fill the branches of your tree.
