In addition to Petitpas genealogy, this book contains considerable information and genealogical charts on on the Fougere, Pelrine, Bonvie, Perrault, Maillet (Myette, Pelrine, and Deslauriers (Delorey) families who married into the Petitpas family. A detailed account of the history that shaped the lives of these individuals before and after their arrival to North America from France, as told from our ancestors' prospective. This includes accounts of the volatile situation in Europe that caused them to leave their homeland, and the volitile situation in which they found themselves in their new found land including the Explusion and the Fall of Louisbourg. It was in the midst of the author's teaching a History class that she had the idea to record the considerable amount of information that she had collected into a book, with the story of her ancestors' struggles told by themselves in conversation as they went about the daily chores of life, working at their fishing weirs, spinning wheels, trap lines, etc.
