SUMMARY:Franco and Irish Genealogy with B.J. Jamieson
DESCRIPTION:The Franco-American Collection at the University of Southern Maine invites you to join us on Zoom on Monday, November 14th, 2022, at 12 pm- 1pm, for lunch talk about the intersection of Franco-American and Irish genealogy with B.J. Jamieson. \nWe are excited to welcome B.J. Jamieson, the genealogy reference specialist at the Maine State Library. This position allows B.J. to indulge her love of both books and genealogy to an extent that she didn’t think was possible before she accepted the position. She has a postgraduate certificate in genealogy from the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland) as well as a master’s degree in library science. \nWhile the perception is that French and English speaking Canadians lived in completely separate communities, there was often interaction between Francophones and immigrants of Scottish and Irish descent. This was especially true in New Brunswick and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, where both French and English names occur in many records. Following the presentation, there will be a Q & A session with the audience.\nThere is no fee for our programs, which are made possible by the Québec Delegation in Boston and Androscoggin Home Health. \nThis event will be Zoom only! Register here for the Zoom link:  https://maine.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAuf-CvqD4jGNcWSo2P4nXkmdlNP0e0cfgZ. \nAll programs are recorded and archived at https://video.maine.edu/channel/Franco-American%2BCollection%2BHistory%2Band%2BMemory%2BVirtual%2BSeries/186544603 and can be viewed at your leisure. \nFor more information or to register, contact the FAC archivist, Anna Faherty at anna.faherty@maine.edu or by phone (207) 753-6545. If you have questions about disability access or need to request disability accommodations (e.g. sign language interpreters, materials in electronic format, etc.), please contact Anna Faherty at anna.faherty@maine.edu. Requests should be made as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for the accommodation process.\n
