Description of the object
Sheet music for the official song of the Cyr family reunion in New Richmond.
Value of the item
The document tells the story of an Acadian family, the Cyr family. The ancestor of the Cyr family in Acadia is Pierre Cyr, a gunsmith who arrived in Port-Royal in the late 1660s. The variant "Sire" is often encountered. He is the ancestor of most of the Cyrs in present-day New Brunswick, Gaspé, Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and Maine.
The document also refers to an Acadian commemoration event, namely the anniversary of the Cyr ancestor's settlement in Baie-des-Chaleurs. The event appears to be fairly recent.
