Meetings

The French-Canadian Heritage Society meets at least twice per year to research our own French-Canadian ancestry and to help others research theirs. We sometimes have guest speakers of interest or special FC related programs. Meetings are held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the SCGS Library. Programs, if any, usually begin at 1:00.

French-Canadian DNA Project

Our French-Canadian Heritage Society is sponsoring this DNA project as a way to honor their French ancestry. The project now has over 1000 members from all over this county, Canada, and France.

We are waiting for you. Be the first to honor your French Canadian heritage by helping to establish the DNA signature of that earliest ancestor. Learn more about it at www.frenchdna.org. And while you are at it check out our results. I am sure you will find them interesting.
