AACDQ brings you
Hello there!
You probably you already know about the event that we’re setting up for July 2022. We’re going to give you a bit more information about it here.
This is an opportunity to get to know your DNA related cousin, at a FAMILY
event. The name of the event is “BIG – HISTORY – HAPPENING” This will take place in Chicoutimi, Saguenay, QC, Canada. Save the dates from July 22 to 24 of 2022. Most of our ancestors are from that region, the reason why we chose that location.
This will be three days of getting to know each other, learning, exploring our roots, and having fun.
