Mission Statement
Our focus is on the genealogy of people of French-Canadian and Acadian heritage who settled in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and throughout New England. However, we also have information about both French and non-French inhabitants of New England and other areas of the United States and Canada. The Library’s access to Ancestry.com allows researchers to consult worldwide records, and a circulating library of history, biography, and fiction related to French Canadians is available to our members.
Description
The Society is dedicated to collecting, preserving and disseminating genealogical and historical information about our ancestors who settled in Quebec and Acadia and their descendants. At our library in Tolland, you will find numerous resources to trace your family history back to the founders of New France and Acadia. In addition, meetings, seminars and other events provide more opportunities to learn. The Connecticut Maple Leaf, our society's journal, provides valuable articles and information to our members.
