David Vermette’s French North America Blog
http://frenchnorthamerica.blogspot.com
A very informative and entertaining blog by David Vermette, a Franco-American writer and researcher who is originally from Massachusetts. David has been researching French North America for several years, and the blog is one fruit of his research. He says it involves equal parts intellect and love, and his approach is to take information and weave it into stories. On his site, he tells the stories sometimes without showing all the steps that led him to his conclusions.

The women come together in many forms of presentation, body, soul and creative spirit, as Franco-American women — Québécois, Acadian, Métis, Mixed Blood, French Canadian, ‘Cajun, Creole and Huguenot–in a way which encourages them to be voiced while collecting a record of their and their maman’s existence. Daughters, mamans, and mémères.
