- The goal of this page is to collect elements for the future Quebec Diaspora Project
A project about French-Canadian families who moved to the USA (and sometimes came back) after the Conquest (1763) up to the Great Depression (1930).
- This project would help American genealogists connect with their Québécois/French heritage.

Shifting borders
- Julien Dubuque (1762-1810) is an interesting case.
- Around 1690 Nicolas Perrot discovered lead mines in "Pays des Illinois", on the West bank of the Mississipi river. He showed the Meskwaki people to mine the lead.
- Julien, who arrived there around 1785, got permission by the local tribe to mine in 1788.
- Being on the West side of the river, this was (since 1762) in Spanish Louisiana, just across the river was the part of the Province of Quebec acquired by Great Britain in 1763 then ceaded to USA in 1783. So he optained a grant by the spanish in 1796 for 189 square miles of land that he named "The Mines of Spain".
- Spanish Louisiana was exchanged for a part of Tuscany by Napoléon Bonaparte in 1800 (which remains a secret) until he sold it to the USA in 1803 for 15 millions dollars.
- So when Julien died in 1810 his domain was in the USA.
