Le portail Acadiens d'Amérique du Nord est là pour faciliter la recherche d'ancêtres ou de parents identifiés comme descendants acadiens des Français qui se sont installés dans la colonie de l'Acadie en Nouvelle-France au cours des 17e et 18e siècles.
Nous encourageons toute personne ayant un lien avec la culture acadienne à communiquer et à explorer une ascendance commune.
Depuis l'établissement des premiers colons francophones sur le territoire appelé « Acadie » jusqu'aux événements qui ont mené à leur tragique déportation à partir de 1755 et incluant le vibrant héritage acadien d'aujourd'hui, cette collection thématique présentée raconte l'histoire des débuts d'un groupe particulier de une culture nord-américaine florissante, qui maintient leur langue et leur culture françaises dans un cadre bilingue et continue d'ajouter à leur histoire jusqu'à aujourd'hui.
