It sounds like you have lots of interesting stories to investigate and write up in the future. I look forward to reading them!

Once the obsession with Acadian stories tamps down, I'd like to explore the kidnapped children in my family tree. A 14 y-o English lad captured in a French/Acadian raid on Newfoundland, a boy taken from a farm in Wells Maine and a girl taken captive in a raid on Deerfield MA during another French and English war. The question you raise -- what do the splits in the past tell us about our own? -- provocative. Need to mull and ponder it.
