Free Family Tree Templates and Worksheets and a 30 minute genealogy consultation https://tinyurl.com/3bdk2seh In this insightful and educational YouTube video, Family Historian Brian Nash sist down with Marc Bastarache, an 11th generation Acadian, to learn about how learning his family history shaped his worldview. Marc's ancestors have a fascinating history, having been originally from outside Port Royal in Acadie (modern day Nova Scotia) before being deported to South Carolina. Despite this, they managed to escape and embark on a journey that saw them walk to Lake Ontario, get captured by the Hurons, and eventually escape and travel by canoe to be reunited with their families in refugee camps. The Acadians have a rich and diverse cultural heritage, with roots that can be traced back to 17th century France. Over time, the Acadians have developed their own unique language, music, and traditions, which have been passed down through generations. They have a deep connection to the land and their communities, and their culture has been shaped by their experiences as a displaced people. Through his own research, Marc rediscovered this distinct Acadian unique culture and gained a deeper understanding of his own heritage. In this video, he shares how his story and that of his Ancestors are intertwined and how the knowledge of your family history can impact your whole perspective on life while providing a valuable and personal insight into the past. Whether you're an Acadian, or simply interested in genealogy and history, this video is sure to be both informative and entertaining. So don't miss out on this opportunity to learn about the power of knowing your family history, the rich cultural heritage of the Acadians, and how it can shape your worldview.

If the Acadian Expulsion and the policies behind it were to happen in another country today would we call it an attempt at Cultural Genocide?  Listen to Marc &  you decide?                                 This is the amazing story of how an interest in understanding his unique family name lead Marc Bastarache into a genealogical search unearthing  discoveries about his Acadian Ancestry.       His story includes a war, imprisonment, escape  reunion and the cycle continued throughout the period of The Acadian Deportation.  He debunks the Longfellows story of Evageline which Romanticized teh story but got facts wrong as well as pointing out how a lot of New England's Business Families at the time including  future President of The Continental Congress and Prominent signer of the Declaration of Independance John Hancock  profited off the British Government's policy of Acadian Expulsion.       His story is what we can all look forward to finding when we dig into our past every family has those people who lived and experienced History in a way that is unique.  While you might not find a King, Queen, President etc in your tree you'll find everyday people who did extraordinary things which shaped the history of a Nation, Community or even your own family.   Read more about the Acadians I suggest these books: Great and Noble Scheme: The Tragic Story Of The Expulsion Of The French Acadians  https://amz.run/5dWt  Acadian Driftwood: One Family and the Great Expulsion  https://amz.run/5dWv Check out the video for this episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9NnUU7bvDs&t=1184s Where Else to Find How We Got Here : How We Got Here on YouTube Facebook Page Twitter Support the Podcast Support The Podcast Music: TRIBUTE TO O’CAROLAN by Luna Bujalesky Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/how-we-got-here/message
