  1. Don't you wish we could easily time travel to all of these! By the way, Penobscot County Genealogical Society is sponsoring a presentation by Dona Saucier, representing the 2014 Acadian World Congress, at the Bangor Public Library, Bangor, Maine, on Saturday, March 8, 3-5 PM. http://www.pengen.org/ The Acadian World Congress is held every five years at different locations around North America, maybe the globe, and this year has scheduled commemorations throughout August 2014 in northern Maine, northern New Brunswick and the neighboring area of Quebec. I'm signed up for 5 different bus trips - can't wait!
