Member of the Week : In between researching her own French Canadian ancestral lines, Acadians Project member Christine Lajeunesse acts as an Adoption Angel helping adoptees build trees for their French Canadian DNA matches. Last week: Nancy Wilson . "I am working on an anniversary project. I pick an ancestor from my watchlist that was born or died on this date and try to flesh out their profiles. I don't mind going down a few rabbit holes. When I want something easier to work on, I like to go to the unsourced list for New Jersey from the 1800s. I have learned some local history that way."
