[Capsicum]

There are French descended Americans with Quebecois and Acadian ancestors, but many are pretty assimilated and don't speak French or even pronounce their names as a French speaker would.

There was a large emigration wave to the US in the 19th to early 20th century, especially New England but I wonder if the family ties are still strong enough that cross border visitations are commonly done by communities in either country.

I wonder if the average American with a French Canadian background is especially any more likely to have traveled north of the border, have visited the places their families emigrated from or kept in touch with Canadian relatives, than the average American.

Also things like whether or not "French Canadian" Americans on the whole are especially knowledgeable about Francophone Canadian politics, society or culture in ways an average American or even Anglo Canadian might not be.
