Archivists see surge in Wisconsin residents seeking Canadian citizenship:

One Friday in April, archivists at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay set aside all other work to tackle a growing backlog.

Fifty-two nearly identical research requests had piled up. All asked about French-Canadians who once lived in northeastern Wisconsin.

Well, maybe. But I am 12.5% French Canadian. True fact. Although I am slightly more German, it’s because of combinations of ancestors. One great or great-great dropped the von on arriving to America, but everyone else has been an amalgamation.

Not that I am looking for Canadian citizenship.
