Demography &amp; Geography Where did they go? Most of us could readily find the names of our grandparents. But even when you have access to a relative in their 80’s finding where they got married or the names of the great-grand-parents is another thing. Research between 1840 and 1930 can be very frustrating― 50% of French-Canadians in Québec migrated out of Québec, and some returned during that period. Looking at their diaspora can give an idea where to look for them.
