French. Very French.

I'm French. Hardcore French to the bone. I am the descendant of Samuel de Champlain, the man who founded Montreal, it is true. I'm proud of my heritage, even if it isn't anything exotic and special.

My grandmother's side of the family (as in my mom's mom) is predominantly French. My mother's father's side is VERY Irish. He once had a bright orange afro, I have pictures somewhere, it is fantastic.

My dad's side is 100% French. I'm about... I don't know, 65-70% French. I'm also Irish, English, Indian, and a little big of something else no one knows about.

Here are some pictures from my last family reunion from 2000. Maybe 2001?

Lafrance Family:


Descendants of:
Hilaire Cartier dit Lafrance & Marie Laurendeau
Married 13 July 1896
Ste Anne, Danville, Québec


Simonne Lafrance & Euclide Côté
13 May 1939
Sanford, Maine


I am the youngest descendant of the Simonne family. This my mother, my great aunt Priscilla, and myself. I was maybe 10 when this picture was taken.


First cousins, my great aunt Priscilla is the woman in the wheel chair.


Second cousins... my aunts and uncles. My mom is fifth from the right.


A good chunk of my cousins on my mother's side of the family... can you find me?
There are two fourth cousins in this picture too, two little babies.


This is where I come from.
Haha... goodnight.
