Again, hope my post didn't offend you."

No offence taken. It's just that your original post
was so catagorical. I felt obliged to point out that
we're not all out to break up the country here. 
If you've lived in the Lac St. Jean region, I can
certainly understand where you get your view of
separatists!

As for where I live, well, in the riding right next to
Mr. Landry's (unfortunately), in the suburbs of
Montreal. I'm hoping if he keeps up with his wild
pronouncements, people will smarten up and vote out
the PQ next election.

My husband's ancestors would be on that 1666 census,
BTW. He's not only got his paternal line traced, but
also his other three grandparents. The only one he
can't trace as far is his maternal grandmother, but
her ancestors were Acadian. Luckily, our local library
has a good genealogy section and he was able to find
quite a bit there. Isn't genealogy fun? I have a
nephew who did our families, and I can trace some
branches of my family back even further.... To England
for the most part. Who said the French and English
can't get along? ;-)
