Genealogy can be used to find our ancestors and as a means to tell their stories. Thus, Migrations takes us back 400 years of French-Canadian history. With the DePue/Dupee/Dupuis and Allor/Allard families, going back in time, we find individuals who were actors in this history. They were part of Detroit's automotive boom. They were farmers, lumbermen, and waterway voyageurs. They were with the founders of Detroit and among the first settlers in Quebec and Acadia (present-day Nova Scotia). These stories belong to many families who traveled these or similar routes, as they migrated westward from the shores where they landed. They teach us about perseverance and resilience, as many of us are still on the move today.
