The Franco-American Connection

Connections

This website was started in 2000 when I was made aware of the wonderful effort of Juliana L'Heureux to keep the Franco-American tradition alive, at least in the Portland, ME area, through her weekly column in the Portland Press Herald.

From being a site dedicated to a single Franco-American writer, it is becoming a site source of information for the Franco-American community. And along these lines, we now have sections on

• Entertainment - Musicians, bands, performers
• Film Making - Showing us the Franco way of life
• Genealogy - How to get at your roots
• Genetics - Deseases specific to Franco-Americans
• Politics - Francos involved in politics now and then
• Special Events - Like Ste-Croix 2004 - For other events, see News
• Sports - Franco-American athletes
• Traditions - Benediction Paternelle, special holidays, ...
• Writers - Writers and those who write about FA way of life
