TESTIMONIALS
"I hired Jean-Yves to develop my Grandmother-Nadeau ancestral tree. It was very surprising to learn her ancestors had a French-Canadian history dating from the 1600’s with the maternal side starting with the King’s Daughters. Jean-Yves is passionate about genealogy and it showed when he presented the Nadeau story to my siblings and I via Zoom. We were intrigued with the historical details, his knowledge beyond just finding names and places. Most of all we felt better for knowing more of where we came from." - Brian Deighton
"Jean Yves specializes in French Canadian ancestry research. Given very little information about my French Canadian history (my maternal grandmother's maiden name), Jean Yves diligently sought information through birth records, marriage licenses, government records, books and several other genealogy sources to build an extensive record of my heritage going back 13 generations to France. He presented his findings to my extended family. The presentation outlined sources of the data and gave glimpses of what life was like “en Acadie” as it affected my ancestors through the centuries. The presentation spurred significant interest and was an opportunity to reconnect with some of my extended family. All were very impressed and thankful of Jean Yves' efforts. Knowing our heritage strengthened our family sense of Acadian identity and pride." - Ronald Porter
