Roxanne Moore Saucier has written a great article in the Bangor (Maine) Daily News describing how to find information about Acadian ancestors.
Generally, the term French Canadian describes those with Quebec ancestry, while Acadian refers to the French who occupied what is now Nova Scotia and parts of New Brunswick until the British deported them in Le Grand Derangement of 1755.
If you have Acadian ancestry, or even THINK you might, you will want to read Roxanne's article at http://goo.gl/TNPPc.
