Genealogy Clues

When I attended a Cajun music program last night I thought I was going to listen to just music but that wasn't the case. Musician and historian, Dennis Stroughmatt, shared a bit of the history of French music from Canada to Illinois and Louisianna. He related there were two areas of France that influenced music in Canada. They were Brittany and Normandy. Brittany has a Celtic background and they speak Gaelic. In Normandy, they were people of Dutch, Belgium, and German heritage. Could it be that my Shetler family did come from France to Canada? Possibly, Normandy? I've been told their name sounded more German than French. So this is a possibility. In census after census record, Adeline stated she and her parents were French Canadians. You never know where you may get a genealogy clue.
