Bitten by the Genealogy Bug, I visited this research center to trace my French ancestry. Two of the volunteers (Annette and Tom) were very knowledgeable and so eager to assist me that I immediately paid for a one year membership ($40). The library is clean and has troves of books related to French Canadian Genealogy, as well as several computers at my disposal. After only three visits, Ive added four generations to my family tree. The best $40 Ive spent in a long time.

About
American-French Genealogical Society
The American-French Genealogical Society, formed in February of 1978, is a 501c3 non-profit organization devoted to people of French Canadian descent. Our mission is to study and preserve our rich heritage by assisting members in discovering their ancestors and the daily events that shaped their lives. Canadian immigration into the United States began as early as the seventeenth century, but between 1871 and 1901 the greatest influx of immigrants entered this country. Taxation, debts, unemployment, and a failing economic environment contributed to over 2 million French Canadians, with shattered dreams, migrating to the U.S. seeking economic refuge. This was a major loss to Canada, whose population at the time ranged from 3.7 million to 4.8 million. Since then, more than 10 million of their descendants have assimilated into American society. The language and culture preserved by the over-whelming number of Franco-Americans is disappearing, however, due to sociological changes.
