SynopsisName expert Marc Picard's latest book is must reading for anyone with French-Canadian ancestry (or for institutions serving such a population). Monsieur Picard, who has previously written about the etymologies of the French migrants who settled Quebec and Acadia in the 17th and 18th centuries, now follows the spread of those surnames to various English-speaking parts of North America in his "Dictionary of Americanized French-Canadian Names." Besides its derivations and Anglicizations, this terrific resource references the first French-Canadian settlers bearing the names found in the dictionary.
Great list of Americanized French-Canadian Names, A must for French-American and Canadian Genealogy
If you do genealogy research and you know your ancestors were originally French, this book is a great tool when researching your ancestor. I highly recommend it for comparison of your ancestors original family name and their name after arrival in the USA or Canada.
