Dr. Marty Guidry Strewn Across the Seas – The Acadian Deportations | Longtime GACHGS member Marty Guidry will present a very informative lecture providing a complete overview of the results of the “Grand Dérangement” — the great expulsion of our Acadian Ancestors to all corners of the Atlantic seaboard. Find out how your ancestors made their way to Louisiana after many years of tribulations and travel. |
David Hubbell Vacherie in Mourning | David Hubbell will present a documentary about the tragic 1924 St. Philip Cyclone that took the lives of 9 residents of Vacherie. On August 24th of last year, the Centennial Memorial of this event was held at St. Philip Catholic Church and no other researcher has gathered more data about that day than David. David has been a GACHGS member for 40+ years. |
Clarise Soper CG® Finding Family: A DNA Case Study | Clarise begins with the last surviving son’s request for help to solve the mystery of his mother’s adoption, which took place over a century ago. With more twists and turns than a tangled family tree, this search combines strategic research and DNA analysis to uncover the identity of his maternal grandmother and her family. This case study demonstrates a methodology that can help others break through genealogical brick walls and trace their own ancestral roots. |
