This rainy Tuesday saw me digging in my files for blog ideas. One of the most important finds entitled SETTLEMENTS OUTSIDE QUEBEC. This document recounts all of the history of the French-Canadian migration to the USA. It encompasses titles such as "The Riel Rebellion", "Modern Era"1929 to 1969: "Education Keeps Things Alive." "Tradition, Customs and Beliefs. 'Proverbs," "Cuisine," "Traditional Costumes," "Dances and Songs," "Holidays," "Health Issues," "Language, French-Canadians "were staunch Roman Catholics!" I recall seeing my dad dancing to French-Canadian music heard on station WACE. The authority in written form is the book "THE FRENCH- CANADIAN HERITAGE IN NEW ENGLAND " by Gerard Brault. As a Fifth Generation Franco-American I suggest obtaining a copy to further your insights into our heritage! In other news the price of Gold was bid at $3,400.00 1 an ounce. Not to mention the Red Sox were trailing the Astros 6-1 in the eighth inning.
