Bellefontaine...

The Cajuns came from up here, driven out by the British. They are the Acadians.

Yup, my wife is in the local genealogy club, she's all up into that.
Got us all traced back to Canada and then to France except for my great, great, great grandmother, she was Norwegian.
Don't know how that poor woman got down here.
I figure a little Viking blood ain't all that bad though :)
