Although most of their ancestors came to the United States from Québec, father and daughter Raymond A. Lambert and Megan D. Lambert St. Marie also trace their family tree to Acadians who were impacted by Le Grand Dérangement. In this presentation, Ray and Megan will provide insights into the history of the expulsion of the Acadians by highlighting some of their ancestors’ and relatives’ stories, while also commenting on how learning this history has enriched and informed their lives today. John Mack Faragher’s book A Great and Noble Scheme: The Tragic Story of the Expulsion of the Acadians from Their American Homeland (2005) will serve as a key reference in the presentation.
