Are you a Quebec Daughter or Son of the American Revolution?

  • Presenter: Lisa Elvin-Staltari
  • Date: Tuesday December 16, 2025
  • Time: 7:00 PM Central
  • Webinar Description: In this presentation we will be examining the role that Quebec( French) citizens played in the American Revolution, helping the Cause, and defying the British government. This involvement by these “French Canadian Patriots” can become the source of admission to the D.A.R. or S.A.R. We will explore the history of Quebec (New France) prior to 1776, and the locations where the War of Independence was fought in Quebec. Following a short description of the Lineage societies, we will explore some resources to create a lineage to a French-Canadian Patriot. Finishing up, three case studies will be examined.
