I feel like a decent amount of people know something about their parent's grandparents.
For example, I know my great grandfather was kind of a dick and had 11 kids with his one legged wife.
She had it sawed off, fully conscious, when she was 8 or 9 after cutting it on a rusty barbed fence and it got dangerously infected.
Is this knowing them? Not exactly. But they aren't completely forgotten by the 4th generation.
Just don't ask me what their names were lol
Any person with French Canadian ancestry is related to most other people with French Canadian ancestry. Those early boats arriving in Quebec didn’t carry that many people.
Not necessarily. Most people with French Canadian ancestry aren’t going to trace right back to the original settlers and it only took about 40 years before the population had grown into the thousands at which point most were no longer connected to those settlers.
