Hi Helen, Thanks for sharing your LeBlanc lines. One suggested correction: Under Jacques 1651 There was NO Ste-Anne de la Pocatiere in Port-Royal, Acadia. It is simply Port-Royal, Acadia. Ste-Anne de la Pocatiere is in Quebec, and founded in the 1700s. Port-Royal's parish was St-Jean-Baptiste. You might want to drop that Ste-Anne reference from your research conclusions so others don't add it to their work. Best regards, Dennis

Bonjour your lines got messed up I cleaned it up. Jacques is my 8th GGF twice Andre is my 7th GGF & 8th GGF twice I am decendent of all of Daniels children (15th different ways) except Etienne who went to sea never to return and Pierre whose descendents went to Quebec. His stepdaughter Marie Mercer is my 8th 9th & 10th GGM 5 ways. I will put them in to see how you are related to some of us.

It applies to all areas where "we" were a large percent of the population. Days (& months/years) were not as important as today. We celebrated my Grandfather's baptism until I looked up his birth. It is only in the last hundred years that it was required to be able to read & write to have a "full life" In the images of lists if there is a small cross (above) between the two names the name was written by the scribe and the person's mark was the cross. Do NOT assume lack of the cross means could read & write. So the "X" at the end of names in Louisiana did NOT start out as the person's mark. Something else even if the person signed their names they may not been able to R&W. Claude Guedry was probably taught to sign his name by his Father-in-Law Claude Petitpas. Compare their signatures. In census / lists you should think about the relationship of the taker/scribe to the individual. Did they speak French. Was a neighbor (or priest?) the informant for a family. enough high horse for now.

The only Charles David in Quebec who did not die in Infancy. He marries Angelique Lecuyer in 28 Sep 1767 who dies 27 Mar 1797in Laprairie. I think we can stop looking in Quebec. So the Acadian David dit Pontiff appears to be a branch of the Quebec family. Think I will check the Acadians in Exile next.

I printed out the v 3 Davids in Tanquay & will look for any charls that disappears. I will then check that did marry because he was 50 when marries so that implies a first wife. What is Tanquay? An 1890(?) Dictionionarre for the people in Quebec. Rule of thumb if they have a full date there is a supporting document. Vol 1 is early years the other 5 are split by letter Just a year verify verify verify because many things have been corrected in 100+ years. Next Library trip check for later corrections in Jette or Drouin collection online The online free Tanquay dictionairre http://bibnum2.banq.qc.ca/bna/dicoGenealogie/ Also available on Ancestry.ca

There are no parents listed for Francois Lebrun. Please note, that these volumes of Jean Bernard's are based in part on Stephen White's Notes on the PEI Acadian families for their origins and connections into the PEI parish registers. So if Stephen didn't have any information on him, don't expect Jean Bernard to either. Your best bet is to find a census record for the time period of a Brun/Lebrun family with a Francois in it. I checked the 1752 census yesterday to no avail, nor would he have been born yet. This period of PEI history after the census is fraught with upheaval as you so well know, so the survival of any census info would probably be on the mainland of Acadia, in New Brunswick and/or Ristigouche, Quebec and environs in the Baie des Chaleurs. Several families from there returned later to PEI to resettle.

Anyone going to Moncton soon please get copies of the above pages. -----Original Message----- From: John Estano deRoche <jderoche@eastlink.ca> I have faint hope that anyone can help with this brick wall of mine. (I'm omitting accents - no good in plain text.) The mystery man is Francois LeBrun, likely born in the 1760s or before, died sometime before 1815 (almost certainly in Prince Edward Island, Canada). Husband of Sebatienne-Josephe Doiron, who was born in exile Feb. 23 1768 in Locmaria parish on Belle-Ile-en-Mer, Brittany, a daughter of Alexis Doiron & Madeleine-Josephe Bourg. The Doirons came back to Ile-Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Island). The marriage of "Basquienne" to Francois LeBrun occurred around 1790, in the latter colony. They had 11 children: Eulalie/Alice, Gertrude, Apolline, Perpetue, Cyrille, Emelie (my ancestor, who married Hyacinthe DesRoches in 1819 at Rustico, Prince Edward Island), Isabelle/Elisabeth, Marie, Lazare, Anne/Nannette, & Charlotte. Nobody (including Stephen A. White) seems to know anything about the origins of Francois LeBrun, my thrice-great-grandfather.
