Welcome to the Mémère Project

This website and blog is dedicated to my mémère Claudia, and the nearly one million French Canadians who left their native Québec to find the American dream. Some found it, others didn’t.

Maine/Québec RoadTrip 2013

I’m journeying to New England & Quebec to conduct research for a documentary film and book that will be available in the near future. Follow along with my updates from the road.

Je me souviens, mémère.
