The unspoken rule is to not ask about genealogy or Cajun history at family gatherings
Most people's ancestors here just got kicked out of one perfectly good country. Their family got kicked out of two!

That Alsace region of France went back and forth between France and Germany for a bit. My last name was different at one point in history because it was the German version, they changed to the French version shortly before coming to America (not via Canada).

Not very common, but I knew a Cajun with that last name.
What about Roger? Isn't that Cajun?
