Introduction / History

The ancestors of the French Canadians came from France and settled in Canada in the 1600s and 1700s. After France’s loss to the British in the French and Indian War, French settlers came under British rule. Most live in Canada, though a small number are in the United States. A smaller number have returned to Europe where they live in Austria.
