About this listen
These documents trace the genealogical history and cultural heritage of the Levasseur family, a branch of which migrated from Quebec to the American Midwest to become the Vassaurs. The story follows six generations of artisans, starting with the master sculptors of New France before continuing with the establishment of Stanislas LeVasseur in Illinois and then in Arkansas in the 18th century. The texts emphasize the role of the family in the colonization of the Mississippi Valley and their participation in landmark events such as the War of Independence. It also describes the evolution of the surname, the daily life of French settlers and the influence of their Catholic faith. Finally, the sources announce the creation of a dedicated website to preserve the archives and photographs of this pioneering lineage.
