Bonjour/Salut! Je m’appelle ”Dan” ou ”Daniel”. J’apprends le français parce-que mon pepé. Ma familie a immigré au Québec et Acadie en les 1890’s. Je ne veux pas mourir notre langue. Je vis en l’État du Maine ”L’État de pin”. J’aime la chasse, la peche, la randonnée, le bivouac et tir à la cible. J’aime l’histoire et genealogie aussi. À plus tard! My name is Dan. I am a Franco-American. My ancestors left Québec and Pubnico, Nova Scotia (Acadia) to work in the mills of Maine during the 1870-1930’s immigration wave. My Pépé (grandfather) spoke french as his first language and english. He didn’t get to use his french very often and I thought I would try to learn more so I could ”parlez” with him. Unfortunately my Pépé has passed away and now, 400 years of the french language in my family survives only with me. I live in the great state of Maine, I’m 29 and I love hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, target shooting, playing guitar and am heavily interested in history (all history, not just American). I also do genealogy.
