... hope no one minds...?? My wife, who is Jewish, was chatting with her brother, and she used the Yiddish word for unkempt ("verklemt"). I know there's a Cajun equivalent -- my mom used to use it to describe me when my hair wasn't combed right or my clothes were askew (which was frequently), but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. Does anyone know the word I'm referring to? cheers, Gordon

Hi, I have a term my grandma supposedly said that is no doubt stronger than the "dirty britches" she told her kids it meant. If you're good w/vulgar/profane Cajun slang pre-1950s, could you e-mail me off list & I'll write what I think it sounds like? :) (don't know the exact spelling) Thought maybe I shouldn't post on the list as a couple of people have said it's not good but were too polite to give a precise translation.

Thanks Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Acadian Genealogy Society To All, We are starting as early as possible to test the waters to see who may be interested in going to the CMA-2014. For those of you who do not know what this is, the Congrès Mondial Acadien (Acadian World Congress), is a gathering of Acadians from all over the world. It last for about a 2 week period to celebrate our heritage, have family reunions and exchange genealogy research. Even though the events last about 2 weeks, does not mean that you have to stay there for the whole time. Some people only go for a couple of family reunions and nothing else, and that's OK. The CMA-2014 will be held August 8 - 24, 2014 in what is known as the Acadia of the Land and Forests Region. The region includes the Northwest of New Brunswick, the Aroostook county of Maine, and the Témisoucata county in Québec. The activities will include an opening ceremony, activities for celebrating Acadian National Day on August 15th, many family reunions, a series of conferences, an international showcase, special events and live shows, as well as spectacular closing ceremony performances. More than 200 activities will be presented for all ages. Each family association is responsible for getting their individual reunions together. At this time things are only in the planning stages, but as I said before, we're only trying to find out who may be interested in going. As the CMA, SNA and individual families send out more details I will pass it on to you so you can make a more informed decision. The Acadian Genealogy Society has a little over 2000 members. It takes a lot of planning to make plans for as many that has traveled with us and the group just keeps getting bigger. Past CMA's attended: CMA - 1994 was held in South-Eastern New Brunswick (About 40 members attended) CMA - 1999 was held in Louisiana (Too many to keep track of) CMA - 2004 was held in Nova Scotia were over 250,000 Acadian descendants converged on the land of their Ancestors. (About 120 members attended) CMA - 2009 was held in the Moncton, New Brunswick region. (About 150 members attended) Jeff Mélançon, President The Acadian Genealogy Society
