ZOOM PRESENTATION ON THE GUÉDRY FAMILY AND THE MI'KMAQ OF MERLIGUÈCHE by Dr. Nicole Gilhuis.
On 23 May 2023 at 7:15 pm ADT (6:15 pm EDT; 5:15 pm CDT; 4:15 pm MDT; 3:15 pm PDT) Dr. Nicole Gilhuis will present a program to the Nova Scotia Archeology Society on "Atlantic Ghosts: Mi’kmaq Adoption, Daily Practice & the Rise and Fall of Colonial Revenants, 1600-1763". This presentation will feature the Guédry family of Merliguèche and their interaction with the Mi'kmaq. The presentation is FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE.
The Zoom link to enter the meeting is below and no pre-registration is required. I encourage all to listen to Dr. Gilhuis.
Early in her PhD research on this topic, Dr. Gilhuis contacted me and I was able to provide research material to her on the Guédry family and on Merliguèche. She came to Louisiana during her research and I was able to discuss with her the Acadians (Cajuns) of Louisiana, our Guédry family of North America and other topics. I also showed her several interesting Acadian sites in south Louisiana.
I have read her PhD thesis on the topic of this presentation and it is outstanding - very well researched, very keen insight and well presented. Nicole is a highly rated professor at Pepperdine University-Seaver College in Malibu, California. She received her PhD from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2020.
A brief bio of her is at:
I hope y'all can view her presentation on Zoom.

It's that time of year again - as we enter another busy spring season for archaeology, we are closing out our 2022/2023 lecture series with our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Lecture on May 23rd, 2023. The AGM will start at 7:15pm and the lecture will follow at 7:30pm.
We're pleased to announce our final lecture scheduled at 7:15pm entitled, "Atlantic Ghosts: Mi’kmaq Adoption, Daily Practice & the Rise and Fall of Colonial Revenants, 1600-1763" brought to us by Dr. Nicole Gilhuis.
Going on a ghost hunt? This talk will detail how the author traced colonial ghosts in the body of evidence. Gilhuis follows the Guédry family in the early eighteenth century as they disappear from the colonial records. Historical research often ends when the archives are silent but these families can be located through archaeology, Mi'kmaq kinship practices, maps, and Mi'kmaq history.
The presentation will be made via Zoom, so please see the information below to connect with us:
Join us on the 23rd via Zoom, no need to register in advance:

Marty,
May I share this information with the members of the Houston Genealogical Forum?
We have about 200 members. About 80 attend our regular monthly meetings. 30 or so might attend a special topic like this. We have only a few Cajun members.

That sounds really interesting, however, we're on the road and I don't know if I'll remember tomorrow afternoon.
In Amarillo tonight and heading to Colorado tomorrow for several days.
Thanks, Gayle
