 Sainte Famille Cemetery in Falmouth, Nova Scotia is an ongoing effort to re-establish the cemetery where many of the 1600's through 1755 Acadian settlers in Nova Scotia are buried.  Please read about the ongoing efforts at St. Famille.  Many Acadian descendants from across our land and other parts of the world have already bought a brick ($35.00 US or $50.00 Canadian) and it is very impressive indeed.  Many of our cousins visited this site during the CMA 2004 Nova Scotia during August 2004.  Many moving ceremonies took place at the cemetery.  This was to be a part of a real estate development until the remains of our ancestors were discovered while digging the footings for new houses. Order blank for a brick at "Buy-A-Brick"
