Free Family Tree Templates and Worksheets and a 30 minute genealogy consultation https://tinyurl.com/3bdk2seh In this insightful and educational YouTube video, Family Historian Brian Nash sist down with Marc Bastarache, an 11th generation Acadian, to learn about how learning his family history shaped his worldview. Marc's ancestors have a fascinating history, having been originally from outside Port Royal in Acadie (modern day Nova Scotia) before being deported to South Carolina. Despite this, they managed to escape and embark on a journey that saw them walk to Lake Ontario, get captured by the Hurons, and eventually escape and travel by canoe to be reunited with their families in refugee camps. The Acadians have a rich and diverse cultural heritage, with roots that can be traced back to 17th century France. Over time, the Acadians have developed their own unique language, music, and traditions, which have been passed down through generations. They have a deep connection to the land and their communities, and their culture has been shaped by their experiences as a displaced people. Through his own research, Marc rediscovered this distinct Acadian unique culture and gained a deeper understanding of his own heritage. In this video, he shares how his story and that of his Ancestors are intertwined and how the knowledge of your family history can impact your whole perspective on life while providing a valuable and personal insight into the past. Whether you're an Acadian, or simply interested in genealogy and history, this video is sure to be both informative and entertaining. So don't miss out on this opportunity to learn about the power of knowing your family history, the rich cultural heritage of the Acadians, and how it can shape your worldview.

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.

Family stories are an important piece to understanding your family history. Genealogy isn't just about a list of names but about understanding the times, places, and circumstances of our family members. Genealogical research can give the names of the people, places, times, and events but creating a family history is about using those facts you have gathered, using historical sources about conditions and events that were happening around your family members, and helping to use those to fill in the facts to create a broader picture and bring those facts to life in a meaningful way. This is a story about an event from those records I was able to retrieve about my Great Grandmother Elizabeth Anderson putting the facts together with historical information available to understand what was going on so I could better understand what I was seeing in the records and the most logical reasons why. I know that last sentence doesn't sound too exciting but it is how this story came about.
