context_page_description: French Americans are U.S. citizens or nationals of French descent and heritage. The majority of Franco-American families did not arrive directly from France, but rather settled French territories in the New World before moving or being forced to move to the United States later on. Also, the largest French territory in North America was sold to the U.S., absorbing their French citizens. About thirteen million U.S. residents are of French descent, and about 1.5 million of them speak the French language at home. Being isolated, mixed with different cultures, or ignored, the French-Americans developed particular cultures that reflect varying degrees of adaptation of their environments. This gave birth to streams of French-Americans like the Acadians, the Cajuns, Louisiana Créoles and many others.
  The following is a list of notable French Americans by occupation, including both original immigrants who obtained American citizenship and their American descendants.
  To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article showing they are French American or must have references showing they are French American and are notable.
