SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - Lineage: The Power and Promise of Genealogy in Early America
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation! \nGenealogy is everywhere– online\, on screens\, and through organizations and conferences and more.  But technologies aside\, genealogy was everywhere in the 18th century\, too. \nJoin us for a virtual presentation as historian Karin Wulf discusses her new book\, Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in 18th Century British America. Karin will discuss how meaningful genealogy was for diverse early Americans\, in part because genealogy was foundational in law\, politics\, and religion. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link. \nQuestions? Contact Jen Busa\, Public Programs Coordinator at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nGet Tickets\nAbout the Speaker: Karin Wulf is the Beatrice and Julio Mario Santo Domingo Director and Librarian at the John Carter Brown Library and Professor of History at Brown University.  A historian of early America\, what she refers to as “Vast Early America\,” she writes for public and academic audiences about early American history\, the worlds of scholarship and scholarly publishing\, and why footnotes can save democracy (really).  Karin is the author or editor of prize-winning scholarship on gender\, family\, and politics. Her book Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in 18th Century British America was published by Oxford University Press in June. \nTo purchase a copy of Karin Wulf’s new book\, Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in 18th Century British America\, click here

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - Silent Presence: The French in New England
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation! \nJeanne Douillard\, an independent scholar\, has probed the history of the French in New England for over twenty-five years.  One question she has addressed is why the French have had such a silent presence in New England. Jeanne believes the past is important. To her way of thinking\, history shapes people\, shapes cultures. She believes\, “We are the heirs of our ancestor’s journeys. Their experiences matter. We carry them with us even if their story is lost to us.” \nIn this virtual presentation Jeanne brings a unique\, fresh look to the story of “un petit people.” It is an approach which combines history and story\, attempting in its essence\, to get at the heart of a people. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link. \nQuestions? Contact Jen Busa\, Public Programs Coordinator at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nGet Tickets\nAbout the speaker: Jeanne Douillard’s passion for the history of the French in the Americas led her to delve deeply into the quagmire of conflicting historiographies. English\, French and American historians of the past offered up irreconcilable views of La Nouvelle France [New France] and its people. She was intrigued. Jeanne authored I Remember… Je Me Souviens… in 2016. Jeanne is also one of the major contributors to the book Building a Better Life: The French-Canadians in Western Massachusetts\, published by the Republican newspaper in Springfield\, MA. Jeane also contributed a narrative poem\, “Not So Much the Same Place\,” to Heliotrope: French Heritage Women Create\, an anthology of women writers of French heritage. \nTo purchase Jeanne’s book\, I Remember…Je Me Souviens...\, email her directly: silentpresence1@gmail.com \nTo purchase Building a Better life The French-Canadians in Western Massachusetts click here \nTo purchase Heliotrope: French Heritage Women Create click here
