Researching Nouvelle France (New France)

Nouvelle France (Self-help)

Researching early Nouvelle France (French Canada) can be a both rewarding and information/ data rich endeavor. Personally, I tend to focus my research in the areas of Bas (Lower) Canada with rarer forays into Acadie during the time before the Le Grand Dérangement or Déportation des Acadiens. The forced removal by the British of the Acadian people from the present-day Canadian Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and northern Maine.

This is the only contemporaneous image of the Expulsion of the Acadians, showing the raid on Grimross (present-day Gagetown, New Brunswick).

To organize my thoughts and provide some free self-help guidance, I have created this page. I will update it from time to time as I do most of my self-help offerings. If there are items you would like to see appear in this self-help, please use our Contact page to let me know.
