In 1696 Jacques Bonnevie Sr. moved from Paris to the Cap-pelé settlements in New Brunswick, Canada. Seven generations later, my mother, Claudette Marie (Bonnevie) Ankiewicz, was born to Aimé and Elda (Leblanc) Bonnevie. These pages aim to document my maternal family history and genealogy, capture the beauty of photos and records passed down through the years, and present snippets of New Brunswick French-Canadian culture.
