Lucie’s Rock-and-Roll Summer (Attention: Acadians)

Between sumer getaways and other pursuits, I bet some of you haven’t been to Lucie LeBlanc Consentino’s Acadian & French-Canadian Ancestral Home Weblog.

recently. If this is the case – and especially if you’re into all things Acadian, then you should definitely drop by for a visit.

Lucie’s been blogging up a storm this summer with entries into various carnivals and useful tips on new technology, but she’s also begun blogging about the CMA 2009 which is taking place shortly in northern New Brunswick. CMA 2009 is a gigantic gathering of Acadians from far and wide and if you can’t attend then I suggest you bookmark Lucie’s site and follow along for a virtual visit! Lucie is sharing general information as well as late-breaking news about the LeBlanc activities and -of courese – her own speaking engagements.

One exciting bit of news is that Lucie will be interviewed once again by Radio-Canada. In case you’re not aware, Lucie was already interviewed a few months ago in a television piece about Acadians today and the way that mtDNA searchs can help people feel connected to their deep ancestral past (http://www.radio-canada.ca/emissions/telejournal/2008-2009/Reportage.asp?idDoc=82587). Even if you don’t understand French I do suggest you take a look at the interview because you do get to see Lucie and her lovely daughter as they prepare for her wedding, as well as some shots of the Acadian genealogist Stephen White and the library shelves at Moncton University.

If you’ve been following Lucie’s blog then you already feel her warmth and energy but it’s fun to experience it in moving pictures and sound too!
