Hey, y'all ... If you have visited the Acadians in Gray photo gallery, you have seen my photography, and you have seen the work of Sandi Nardone who downsizes and corrects the photos for web viewing. Sandi is an award-winning graphic designer and artist. She works wonders with old photos—scanning, correcting and colorizing them—making them almost come alive. If you have photos of ancestors that you would like preserved for posterity, or if you would like to have professional copies of those photos made for displaying or sharing with other family members, you should visit her website ... sandiartfullyyours.com.

St.-Jean-Baptiste Parish, Port-Royal, Acadia. A valuable resource for Acadian families who can trace their ancestry to Port-Royal/Annapolis Royal from 1702-1755. Miraculously, the baptismal, marriage, and burial registers of this parish for these years survived Le Grand Dérangement. "For family historians who can trace their ancestry to Port-Royal, these two registers provide tangible links to the last generations of Acadian French living there before the Expulsion."
