Many of us have found some of our first ancestors to have settled on the Island of Orléans. Nothing surprising when we know
that the cradle of New-France welcomed over 300 founding families!
Many adventures and pitfalls are awaiting our ancestors in the New World. In this presentation, Sabrina will give you a glimpse
of the lives of the settlers of the Island of Orléans from the beginning of the colony all the way to 1759. A century of learning,
adaptation and discoveries, that's what our ancestors did with resilience!
