This year, the Municipality of Lac-au-Saumon will carry out a project to promote Acadian culture in Lac-au-Saumon, a French village in Québec. From 1896, Acadians from the Magdalen Islands came to settle in the future parish of Lac-au-Saumon, which they helped to develop. They came mainly from Havre-aux-Maisons and Étang-du-Nord. Other Acadians subsequently left the Acadian Peninsula, Baie des Chaleurs and Saint-Alexis-de-Matapédia.

Festivities (guided tours, conference, tasting of Acadian dishes, show, mass, lunch, inauguration ceremony) will take place in Lac-au-Saumon on August 5, 6 and 7, 2022.

England and Wales: at home and on the move is the focus of the 27th (and second virtual) family history conference presented by the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa (BIFHSGO), to be held virtually from 28 September to 2 October 2022. Twelve expert speakers will discuss topics ranging from finding elusive ancestors in London, through using maps in your research, to domestic or international migration in and out of Wales. There will be stories of the plucky women who made new lives overseas after their husbands died in the Great War and life as a ship’s steward travelling the globe.
The conference will also feature a virtual Expo Hall, where you may make contact with organizations offering products or ideas to help your research. A bonus feature of the event is three Connect Sessions, where speakers, vendors or societies will be available for two hours to answer registrants’ questions or discuss their offerings.
The C$40 conference registration fee includes the 12 presentations, the Connect Sessions, and access to the presentation videos and handouts until 31 October. Visit the website for the full speaker and program details. 22 Apr 2022
