I have a rather diverse heritage.
Both of my father's parents are Syrian. As far as I know, the
trail ends there. On my mother's side of the family, however,
my aunt has done extensive genealogical research to trace our
roots. She was able to trace our history back to 16th century
Europe.
Through my maternal grandmother,
I am a direct descendant of one of the original Acadians, Philippe
Mius D'Entremont. To learn more about the tragic story of
the Acadians, click HERE.

The Acadians were French citizens
who settled in the areas now known as Novia Scotia and New Brunswick.
They had a very close, friendly relationship with the local Native
Americans, the Micmacs. In fact, there were many marriages between
the French and the Micmacs. My ancestors include 3 generations
of Micmacs. To learn more about the Tribe, click HERE.
Through my maternal grandfather,
I am a descendent of two of the Royal Houses of Scotland, the
Stewarts and the
Boyds. My
mother
is a member of the Caledonian Society. She attends the Scottish
Games in Honolulu (where she lives) and staffs a table for them.
