Dear John, Thank you for the DesRoches information! When I asked the Savoie question on the List, I mostly wanted to know what happened to Bazile - how he was orphaned, where in Acadie he lived, the circumstances of his family's expulsion. Judging by his arrival time in Louisiana, I suspected that he had been in Broussard's group, the ones who wouldn't let the governor of Saint-Domingue send them to Mole-St-Nicolas. And I was fairly certain that Judith Arseneaux was his mother's sister. But I had no idea when I cast out that question that I would reel in such a fascinating and detailed story of the family in France and l'Acadie. I wish I had known all this several years ago when I drove through Carolles. I was only able to get a photo of the church, as sunset was closing in and I had miles (or kilometers) to go... I would have stayed overnight and explored the area. The study that Marcel Barriault did is quite impressive in its scope and documentation, as is your translation. I appreciate that you described the nuances of the language and explained how and why you translated certain words and passages. Is Part Two accessible online as well - preferably translated, or in French ? Thank you for sharing all of this with me and for adding to my appreciation of my Des Roches heritage.

You probably already know this. The orphan Basile DesRoches - in the household of Charles Savoie & Judith Arsenault/Arseneau - was Judith's nephew. I'm a descendant of Judith's sister Marie, who married Norman immigrant Julien DesRoches. Basile was a son of Marie & Julien. I'm descended from Basile's brother Mathurin DesRoches. Family oral history tells that Julien & Marie & 2 of their other children died of a "contagion" not long before the 1758 Expulsion from present-day Prince Edward Island. The kids were taken in by various relatives. Basile is the only one who was eventually caught up in the Expulsion. Charles Savoie & Judith Arseneau were indeed among the refugees at Restigouche in the Bay of Chaleurs (which divides northern New Brunswick from the Gaspé region of Québec), until hardship forced that group of holdouts to surrender, whereupon they were (yes) among the huge number of Acadian prisoners held at Halifax and a couple of other sites until well after t! he 1763 peace treaty. This particular household went with the Beausoleil Broussard expedition to the Caribbean & then New Orleans in late 1764-early 1765. See pp. 12-13 in this file: http://1drv.ms/1tBXwtV . I can provide other sources if wanted.

(1) FRANCOIS SAVOIE[9,12] was born about 1621. He died about 1678. FRANCOIS married[9,12] CATHERINE LEJEUNE about 1651. Census: Rc PR 1671 50a Research_of_Karen_Theriot_Reader: !CENSUS: 1671 Port Royal, Acadia, p. 5. Name spelled Francois SCAVOIS, age 50 years, a labor er, living with wife 38. Of their 9 children, only Francoise is married, listed in next entr y on census [next door?]. They have 4 head of cattle on 10 arpents workable land. . !BIRTH-IMMIGRATION-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN: Bona Arsenault, HISTOIRE ET GENEALOGIE DES ACADIENS; 16 25-1810; Ottawa, Editions Lemeac, 1978, 6 vols.; p. 794 (Port Royal); own copy. "Doubtlessly " originally from Martaizé, department of Vienne, France (cites Massignon, vol. 1, p. 49), Fr ancois arrived in Acadia around 1643, and married around 1652 to Catherine LEJEUNE (no parent s listed); they had nine children. Ch 9. CATHERINE LEJEUNE[9,12] was born about 1633. Location: http://lejeune.cma2014.com/en/genealogie Andre-Carl Valcon . In Acadia, there was another family Lejeune, which probably would have come aboard Le Saint-Élie in 1642. The family is that of Catherine and Edmee Lejeune, two sisters, and their likely brother, Jean Lejeune who married a Mi'kmaq woman (DNA haplotype "A"), probably with the name Marie. They probably had two daughters: Jeanne (born 1651) and Marie (born around 1658). According to an old French tradition, the eldest bore the name of his father and the second child, that of the mother. Their daughter Jeanne married François Joseph, a Mi'kmaq, towards 1673, and afterwards a widow, she married Jehan Gaudet toward 1694. . Census: Rc PR 1671 38a 10. (1) VINCENT BREAU Brot[8,13] was born about 1631. He died Nov 1684/ Jan 1686 in Port-Royal, Acadia. VINCENT married[8,13] (1b) MARIE BOURG on 1661. BIRTH: parents may have been Vincent Breau & Marie Renaume 29 May 1629 Location: maybe from near La Chaussee, Vienne, Poitou, France 11. (1b) MARIE BOURG[8,13] was born about 1645 in Port-Royal, Acadia. She died 19 Sep 1730 in Port-Royal, Acadia and was buried 19 Sep 1730 in Port-Royal, Acadia. 12. (3) BARNABE MARTIN[14,15] was born about 1636. He died before 1686. BARNABE married[14,15] (1b) JEANNE PELLETRET about 1666. Location: MARTIN, Barnabé, came from France and married at Port-Royal Jeanne Pelletret, according to Louis Courtin, husband of his great-granddaughter Marie-Josèphe Martin (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, p. 27). Here again there are errors concerning the names of the first forebears in Acadia. Louis Courtin calls his wife's great-grandfather René Martin, and René's wife Marguerite Landry. It is particularly easy in this instance to understand how the deponent came to be so misinformed. In the first place, Louis Courtin was not an Acadian, but a surgeon from the diocese of Blois, who had married his Acadian wife at Cork, in Ireland. Secondly, as this writer explained in an article published in 1984 (SHA, Vol. XV, p. 119), Marie-Josèphe Martin was only fourteen years old at the time of the Deportation in 1755, and she had lost her father eight years before that, when she was only six. By 1767, with her mother also dead, the only persons on Belle-Île upon whom Marie-Josèphe could have called for help with her genealogy were her two younger sisters, who were certainly not likely to know more than she did. So it is not surprising that there should have been some confusion in Louis Courtin's information about his wife's ancestors. The substitution of the given name René for Barnabé probably came about because Marie-Josèphe's grandfather Étienne Martin had an older brother by that name. Meanwhile, the confusion of the family names Pelletret and Landry likely occurred because Jeanne Pelletret's mother Perrine Bourg was married twice, and her second husband was René Landry l'aîné. Perrine Bourg had no male offspring from her Pelletret marriage, but she had two Landry sons who had a considerable number of descendants (see DGFA-1, pp.915-916, 1283-1284). Stephen A.

Don't worry about getting me a present, there is little I need. I could use any old photos that readers might possess of Remy Trahan (1864-1930) of Kaplan, Louisiana. Remy was son of Clemence Trahan and Laissin Trahan. I could also use any data concerning date of Clemence's death (she was married to Olidon Prejean, who died in 1016).

Mavis Fruge Mavis Frugé of Arnaudville was awarded the Ordre des Pair acadèmiques (Order of Academic Palms) by Grègor Trumel, the Consul General of France in New Orleans at the 2015 Louisiana Culture Awards. The award is presented to selected individuals who promote the expansion of French culture. Recipients are decided upon by the French Minister of Education. The presentation naming Frugé as a Knight in the Order of the Academic Palms was held in Baton Rouge at the Capital Park Museum on April 14th. A lifelong advocate of culture, language and tourism, Mavis is also a member of the Acadian Memorial Foundation Board of Directors. Her Table Français in Arnaudville has become a cornerstone of cultural activity. On commenting about the recent presentation, Mavis said, “To have been so honored for doing the things I love to do is just incredible. I cherish our French, the traditions we value and enjoy. I want it all to survive for other generations to appreciate. And we can’t lose sight of the fact that our French culture does wonders for tourism and that is so good for the economy.” Her closing comments after receiving the award was a heartfelt sentiment, “...To all of you who still speak our Louisiana French, be proud. Merci. Thank you.” “Footsteps in Time” I had the honor of giving my Breaux family talk in Thibodaux to the Cercle Francophone, as well as members of the Loudun, France twinning group, and other Breaux “cousins.” The “French table” has been meeting every Tuesday for about five years. Thibodaux has twinned with Loudun since 1978 and recently hosted 33 Loudunais for 10 days. On this last trip Gilles Thibaudault, a descendant of Thibodaux’s founder Henry Schuyler Thibodaux, returned to Thibodaux for the second time. Marlene Breaux Toups organized this great audience at the Jean Lafitte National Park Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center. –Gayle Breaux Smith The Acadian Flag of Louisiana Uncle Tom’s Flag By Marie Louise Gerac You probably see this flag often, and to you it is the Louisiana Acadian flag or the Cajun flag. In our family it is “Uncle Tom’s” flag. Uncle Tom was one of my mother’s brothers, Thomas J. Arceneaux, longtime Dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now ULL) in Lafayette. He was among the first to promote our Acadian history and culture. As early as 1949 he represented Louisiana as our state’s official representative to the Conseil de la Vie Francaise en Amerique at Laval University in Quebec, Canada. In 1955 he was named an Officier d’Academie by France. Also in 1955, he was the head of the Louisiana delegation to the Acadian Bicentennial Celebration in Canada. He was president of the Louisiana Bicentennial Celebration in 1955 and co-chaired the Acadian Celebration in 1965. The Acadian flag was commissioned for the 1965 event and was designed by Thomas J. Arceneaux. The Louisiana state legislature made it the official flag of the 22 parishes of Acadiana in 1974. He was a charter member of CODOFIL. Neither Uncle Tom nor France-Amerique ever obtained a copyright for the flag. It is ours to use and be proud of as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the Acadians in Louisiana and the 50th anniversary of our flag. The best explanation of the flag I have found are Uncle Tom’s own words: The year 1965 marked the two hundredth anniversary of the arrival of the exiled Acadians in Louisiana. In commemoration of that significant event, the Acadian Committee of France-Amerique de la Louisiane Acadienne sponsored a year-long celebration entitled “Two Centuries of Acadian Culture in Louisiana.” One of the official acts of the committee was a strong recommendation for the approval of an Acadian flag designed and described by the writer. France-Amerique de la Louisiane Acadienne readily approved the proposal and thus, since 1965, the Acadians of Louisiana have their own official flag, now proudly flown, under the American flag, throughout Louisiana. Following is the official description of the flag shown at left: To symbolize the French origin of the Acadians, a portion of the arms of their mother country, their fleurs de lis, silver on a blue field, is used as part of the flag. To symbolize Spain, the nation which controlled Louisiana at the time of the Acadian migration to Louisiana and under whom they prospered after years of exile, the old arms of Castille, a gold tower on a red field, appears in one section of the flag. The gold star on the white field represents Our Lady of the Assumption, Maris Stella, Patroness of the Acadians. The star also symbolizes the active participation of the Acadians in the American Revolution as soldiers under Galvez. [Marie Louise is descended from Vincent Brault’s eighth child Jean Breau, and she also has lineage from Firmin Breaux who was descended from Vincent’s seventh child Franocis. Marie Louise Braud Gerac grew up in Gonzales. She and her husband Lyle live in The Woodlands, TX.] NEED AN ACADIAN FLAG? Contact Andrea at Perez Art & Flag 202 Guilbeau Street, Breaux Bridge, LA Phone: 337/230-1796 Email: [email protected] Saturday, August 15, 2015 National Day of the Acadians Acadian Memorial, St. Martinville, LA http://www.acadianmemorial.org/ Events throughout the day beginning at 9:00 a.m. For over 130 years August 15 has been celebrated as the National Day of the Acadians. In 1881 the first National Acadian Convention was held in Memramcook, New Brunswick. The group gathered to discuss issues, such as agriculture, pertaining to the Acadians. At that convention, August 15 – the Feast of the Assumption – was chosen as the national holiday to celebrate Acadian culture. A tintamarre is usually part of this day of celebration. [Per Wikipedia: Tintamarre is an Acadian tradition of marching through one's community making noise with improvised instruments and other noisemakers, usually in celebration of National Acadian Day. The term originates from the Acadian French word meaning "clangour" or "din". The practice is intended to demonstrate the vitality and solidarity of Acadian society, and to remind others of the presence of Acadians.
