You need to see if your families were on the PemBrook They settled on the lower St John & were forced to move up-river at least twice before settling in the Madawanka area #56 - THE SEIZURE OF "THE PEMBROOK" BY THE ACADIANS http://www.museeacadien.ca/english/archives/articles/56.htm Isn't Lowell, MA a mostly French-Canadian/Acadian town? -----Original Message----- From: Leslie Johnson CPC via ACADIAN <acadian@rootsweb.com> Hi there! IS IT TIME TO RETIRE THE LIST? - Please, NO!!! Who are you? My name is Leslie LeBrun Johnson, I am descended of the family BRUN, le brun and finally as our name has condensed - LeBrun. My great grandparents came to the USA (Lowell, MA) during the 2nd Exodus, 1800s. Where you are? My LeBrun family mostly reside in Massachusetts, still. I am currently in Florida. Where & when were your families last in one of our "homelands"? Have never been. My daughter, now knowing our heritage, has a very strong yearning to go back to learn more. I would love to go back to see as well. What families are you researching? What Period? Ancestry has been "acting up" lately, so it's been very difficult to find my grandfather's family. I'd like to know more about the Deportation. I believe the Lebrun family escaped deportation and may have settled in the Madawaska region of what was, at that time, part of Maine. It's just a suspicion, certainly not a fact. Have you had your DNA done which tests? - I'm skeptical, being female. I'd like one of my brothers to go up through the male line, but am unsure how he feels about it. My mother's family has no Acadian. Any other Genealogical projects you are working on? I do some hunting for other family members here and there. What else would you like us to know? What family associations do you belong to? Aside from a couple of facebook pages, not too many. Do you have a blog, web site or online database you would like to share? Any unique resources you will do lookups? I like the Acadian Parish Remembered, which has now been absorbed by The Nova Scotia Archives - https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com/ and here. http://novascotia.ca/archives/virtual/default.asp?Search=THgen&orderby=title I found a bit of Madawaska history in the "History of Aroostook (Maine), Vol 1" that had a very interesting description of Acadians. If you'd like a link to the online book, just let me know. I saved it for my family. National Archives is good - oh gosh, there are so many!! Maybe this should be another project for us - put our resources out for all to share. Do you like the "how related" we occassionally do? Do more, less, too personal? All my life, I have said to myself "I want to go home." I never understood what or where that was, but this yearning is so fierce sometimes and even my mother fought me about it as I grew up. Researching this family tree has helped me put so many things into perspective. Sharing with others? YES!! Are we related? If we have the common family lines between us, it makes the world just that much more small, and our family just that more large. I love it. Do you like our holiday breaks with recipes, family stories & traditions? YES!!! My grandfather forbade the family to speak any French. No one knew, no one spoke about any of the past. If they did, I was too young to appreciate. I learned some in high school and in college and my father said that I "ruined the pronounciation of our last name - from "la brun" to "le brun" lol. We still cook some foods and have some traditions that come from so far back - I thought it was just my family. I love hearing about our Acadian roots and I relay much back to my family. ___ This is a remarkable group with remarkable stories and a rich history that begs to be told. With this group, we can keep the Acadians ALIVE through each of us. Anyone can put a name on a page, but with everyone's discussion - although I read more than I participate, these names come alive and it's something we can teach our children. One thing that I've learned is that above all things, is that to our ancestors, family was everything. I do mean - everything. We had the church, we had our family. They still mean something to some of us. Thank you for being here and helping us learn and come home.

Have you been to the Acadian memorial in St-Martinville? The director Elaine Clement is the 6th great-granddaughter of Hilarie & Tarsille Naquin. If you share your line I will see how close you are related to her & some of the rest of us. Do it as "father" Clement & "grandfather" Clement with minimal details to protect the living -----Original Message----- From: Clem via ACADIAN <acadian@rootsweb.com> >> >> >> >> IS IT TIME TO RETIRE THE LIST? - Please, NO!!! I have a hard time typing. So, here is me: Currie Benoit Clement Desendent of "Hilaire Clement". ARCADIA TO FRANCE "Hilaire Clement disembarked with the family of Francois Hardy, his uncle, at St. Malo, France on Nov. 17, 1758 from the English packet, La Reine d' Espagne. He resided in St. Malo France from 1759-1761 and in Trigavon, France from 1761-1772, Hilaire Clement and his wife, Tarsile Naquin, and family of 3 persons were in the Forth Convoy leaving Chatellerault for Nantes, France from March 6 to 13 March, 1776. FRANCE TO LOUISIANA Hilarire Clement and 2 children, Jean and Marie were passengers (Family No 33) abord the St. Remi, which departed France on June 20, 1785 and arrived in Louisiana on Sept. 9, 1785. DNA: FamilyTree DNA, YSearch, NationalGEO Hi Cousins!

IS IT TIME TO RETIRE THE LIST? No. Who are you? Keith Lorando, retired from the Air Force Where you are? Rio Rancho, NM. Moved here after retiring. Am the only one in my family not living in New Orleans---though they still try to get us to move back there! Where & when were your families last in one of our "homelands"? All my family still live in Louisiana, mostly in the New Orleans/West Bank area, though I also have family in Lafayette. I'm the only one of my siblings to have visited Quebec. Still hoping to one day to visit Acadia. What families are you researching? What Period? Pretty much all the Acadian lines, as my maternal line is 100% Acadian. Have just now started to focus on the specific family lines that were expelled during Le Grand Derangement. Among the many families, am focusing on Falgout/Falgoust/Falgoux, Chauvin, Orgeron/Augeron, LeBlanc, Guyon, Champagne, Montet/Montee, Michel, Picou, Rodrigue, Thibodaux, Landry, Rassicot, Bourg, Bernard, Remy, Savoie, Prejean, Boudreaux, Senette, Foret/Forest, Arceneaux, Breaux. Also researching the "Filles a Mariere" and "Filles du Roi" who are in my direct line (Autreiul/Le H'Autreaux, Boileau, Desbordes, Hardy, Rousselliere, Solde, Damize, Hiardin/Hyardin, Roy/Le Roy, and Morin). Hav you had your DNA done? Which tests? Yes, Ancestry DNA Autosomal and Family Tree Y-DNA 37 Any other Genealogical projects you are working on? Several. Biggest one is my paternal line, and researching to see if my Lorando/Laurendeau line from Quebec had any "interplay" with my Acadian ancestors. (My 8th Great Grandfather came to Quebec from Marsilly, France; anecdotal evidence shows he came over with the Carignan-Salieres Regiment and stayed in country after their mission was complete. We also have firm proof that he worked with the Guyon family in Quebec, and the Guyons are in my direct maternal family line.) Also working on my wife's genealogy, which is almost completely British/Irish, as well as trying to determine my paternal Grandmother's Kilpatrick (Scottish) ancestry. In addition, there appears to be a bit of New England British ancestry in my paternal line, and they may have had "interplay" with the Bergeron's in my maternal line. Am trying to get that mystery solved, as well. What else would you like us to know? Got started on our family genealogy project to find out something/anything on my paternal Grandfather and to find out something on my maternal Grandmother's Orgeron family line. She passed away before I was born and I didn't know much about her side of the family. Do you like the "how related" we occassionally do? Do more, less, too personal? Like it very much. Think the information provided is very interesting and informative.

Yes, Lowell is/was a huge area for the French Canadians. I didn't grow up there, but I grew up with LOTS of them, but I don't think any of us knew the connections of our families. His sisters lived there until at least into the late 70s or so until they died. My grandfather refused to speak any French at all, from what I understand, probably due to the Ku Klux Klan and Irish influences in the area during the 1920s. Nor would he teach any to his children. He moved from Lowell to the Boston area where my father & his brothers & sisters were born. Thanks for that link - I can't seem to piece it together except from the other book you recommended, which I did get: "A Great and Noble Scheme". I believe they escaped the British and I have a document which shows them north of Nova Scotia but after that, it's a mystery. I wish I knew more Geography, I might just have to do the map thing and plot their births and deaths to figure this out. Off to read the Pembrook info - thanks!

They obviously relaxed some of those rules. My grandmother taught, even after her marriage. She was still teaching until her death in 1925. Her son, my dad, also taught, but he was single. I have read that, in that county, there was a teacher shortage every once in a while, so that may be why they had allowed married women to teach. Even after they had children.

IS IT TIME TO RETIRE THE LIST? NO Who are you? Myra Herron, living in Utah, from Michigan, have ancestors who were French/Acadian Where you are? Layton, Utah, close to Salt Lake City, Utah Where & when were your families last in one of our "homelands"? Unknown What families are you researching? What Period? Thibaudeau Have you had your DNA done which tests? Had the ancestry DNA done. Any other Genealogical projects you are working on? Just trying to keep up. So busy, not doing a lot right now. It's in my timeline to get to my 5 huge file cabinets of data and organize it. What else would you like us to know? Nothing much. Retired, on line most of the time, able to go to SLC to do research only occasionally. What family associations do you belong to? None Do you have a blog, web site or online database you would like to share? Beyond my abilities! Too old to do that, and don't have the time. Any unique resources you will do lookups? Close to the LDS library in SLC, Utah Do you like the "how related" we occasionally do? Do more, less, too personal? The more we learn about each other, the better the chances of developing more information between ourselves. Do you like our holiday breaks with recipes, family stories & traditions? I DO! I think the talks about music were the best. My grandpa used to play 'fiddle' for barn dances and things like that. I used to have his violin, but it was stolen. I have never heard him play, sadly, but grew up loving Cajun music. Never knew why until I started doing genealogy. It's in the blood.

I didn't receive the roll call e-mail, so I'm using someone else's to pattern my reply. IS IT TIME TO RETIRE THE LIST? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I love this list. It's one the few that has remained active since Ancestry's issues. Who are you? Roberta Estes Where you are? Michigan Where & when were your families last in one of our "homelands"?

Genetic genealogy in general. What else would you like us to know? I tend to be very focused on one line at a time, trying to wring everything out of it that I can. What family associations do you belong to? Nothing Acadian related. Do you have a blog, web site or online database you would like to share? www.dna-explained.com and www.dnaexplain.com Any unique resources you will do lookups? No. I am envious of the people who live close to resources:) Do you like the "how related" we occasionally do? Do more, less, too personal? Not too personal. Do you like our holiday breaks with recipes, family stories & traditions? I really enjoy the cultural aspects. As one who came to know my Acadian roots through genealogy and not through immediate family, I feel that this helps me to recover what was lost.

Whoops - looks like I misunderstood this question! Where & when were your families last in one of our "homelands"? My great grandfather, Joseph George Lebrun left Quebec in the 1860s at 11 years old. He married my grandmother, I believe in Lowell, MA and she is of the family Desjadons. I haven't yet gone up the line there, but both of these are mentioned in the Drouin records.

Hi there! IS IT TIME TO RETIRE THE LIST? - Please, NO!!! Who are you? My name is Leslie LeBrun Johnson, I am descended of the family BRUN, le brun and finally as our name has condensed - LeBrun. My great grandparents came to the USA (Lowell, MA) during the 2nd Exodus, 1800s. Where you are? My LeBrun family mostly reside in Massachusetts, still. I am currently in Florida. Where & when were your families last in one of our "homelands"? Have never been. My daughter, now knowing our heritage, has a very strong yearning to go back to learn more. I would love to go back to see as well. What families are you researching? What Period? Ancestry has been "acting up" lately, so it's been very difficult to find my grandfather's family. I'd like to know more about the Deportation. I believe the Lebrun family escaped deportation and may have settled in the Madawaska region of what was, at that time, part of Maine. It's just a suspicion, certainly not a fact. Have you had your DNA done which tests? - I'm skeptical, being female. I'd like one of my brothers to go up through the male line, but am unsure how he feels about it. My mother's family has no Acadian. Any other Genealogical projects you are working on? I do some hunting for other family members here and there. What else would you like us to know? What family associations do you belong to? Aside from a couple of facebook pages, not too many. Do you have a blog, web site or online database you would like to share? Any unique resources you will do lookups? I like the Acadian Parish Remembered, which has now been absorbed by The Nova Scotia Archives - https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com/ and here. http://novascotia.ca/archives/virtual/default.asp?Search=THgen&orderby=title I found a bit of Madawaska history in the "History of Aroostook (Maine), Vol 1" that had a very interesting description of Acadians. If you'd like a link to the online book, just let me know. I saved it for my family. National Archives is good - oh gosh, there are so many!! Maybe this should be another project for us - put our resources out for all to share. Do you like the "how related" we occassionally do? Do more, less, too personal? All my life, I have said to myself "I want to go home." I never understood what or where that was, but this yearning is so fierce sometimes and even my mother fought me about it as I grew up. Researching this family tree has helped me put so many things into perspective. Sharing with others? YES!! Are we related? If we have the common family lines between us, it makes the world just that much more small, and our family just that more large. I love it. Do you like our holiday breaks with recipes, family stories & traditions? YES!!! My grandfather forbade the family to speak any French. No one knew, no one spoke about any of the past. If they did, I was too young to appreciate. I learned some in high school and in college and my father said that I "ruined the pronounciation of our last name - from "la brun" to "le brun" lol. We still cook some foods and have some traditions that come from so far back - I thought it was just my family. I love hearing about our Acadian roots and I relay much back to my family. ___ This is a remarkable group with remarkable stories and a rich history that begs to be told. With this group, we can keep the Acadians ALIVE through each of us. Anyone can put a name on a page, but with everyone's discussion - although I read more than I participate, these names come alive and it's something we can teach our children. One thing that I've learned is that above all things, is that to our ancestors, family was everything. I do mean - everything. We had the church, we had our family. They still mean something to some of us. Thank you for being here and helping us learn and come home. Leslie

Sorry, some of us having been working together so long we have expressions & short cuts we assume everyone understands. Homeland - A location like the ones our families choose to settle after 1785. Where many/most of neighbors were Acadian or French Canadians. In Canada Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, NewFoundland, Quebec, & Metis Red River settlements. The states Maine, New England (french) towns, Louisiana and East Tejas, & Illinois. my example In 1908 my grandparents independently left Assumption Parish and moved to New Orleans. For Hurricane Katrinia in 2004 I evacurated to Ascension Parish (next to Assumption) and ended up staying. I am related to over 40% of the people who have lived here two generations

(We are still Bcc (Blind carboncopy) - pleblan@aim.com to make sure you can post) We have been at it 10 years & Let's do a roll call ============================== Ten years ago this week we formed this list to allow "more freedom" in what we could & could not discuss. [Enough Said] Could we do a roll call please? (also email me personally with suggestions for the list - pleblan@aim.com) Please start a new chain with the subject line your name Answer questions like this: IS IT TIME TO RETIRE THE LIST? Who are you? Where you are? Where & when were your families last in one of our "homelands"? What families are you researching? What Period? Have you had your DNA done which tests?

Regional Dialects "en France" I wonder if our North America regional dialects have been compared to these. -----Original Message----- From: The French Genealogy Blog French Settlers Speaking the Same Dialect Posted: 13 Mar 2017 05:09 AM PDT Because much of the popular history of immigration to the United States concerns immigrants fleeing religious persecution, it is tempting to look at the reasons for all French immigrants' departures as being due to the same cause, but they certainly were not. Many people were economic migrants; impoverished in France, they left all that they had known to try for a better life elsewhere. This may especially be true of those who left France during the great wave after the 1848 Revolution and economic crisis, which peaked in 1851, when over twenty thousand French emigrated to the United States.

I am in Arizona. I did my DNA with 23 and Me. There is a surprise with Oceanian. I think it comes from the Duplessis and Cormier family. I am trying to research it. I like the recipes, I collect cookbooks. I am researching Thibodeau, Duplessis, Cormier, LeBlanc, and some French Canadian families. I have been researching for over 50 years. So I have a lot, but as new research comes on I look and correct where I am wrong. Most of my research is original records.
