Thanks Liz Keep the corrections coming. I promise to try & remember to check & fix the "small" details. When I was starting out, I like everyone else, took what I could find not realizing people were guessing or had hidden agendas. There are some people who want to make everyone "Grand-Pre" "peasant" farmers. One of my favorites was a person who provided exact death dates for everyone so he could SAY you copied my work. Poitou change to note to may be from Near ... The main surviving early register is Port Royal and some want everyone to be living there. I have butted heads with people who because some of the children of the East Coast families were baptized at Port Royal (usually at age of several months) even though the families are in the surviving census on the East coast. La Rochelle as marriage place for Michel Boudrot & Michel Aucoin, was changed to a note Maybe... , The ships of that period sailed from La Rochelle and their first surviving child was born the next year so it is ASSUMED they were married JUST before departure. As we now have more of the archives in France available online we can probable expect more records to be found. Mona gets notified when new "Acadien en France" records are found & she shares them. There are few if any differences in the DGFA & Famille de Michel Boudrot. The book carries forward to families formed by 1780. Port Royal - After the original men moved across Fundy Bay they reassembled the Habitat on the highland over looking the wide mouth (bay?) of the Dauphine River. As time passed the settlement moved across the river closer to the harbor. During periods of English control the troops very seldom left the fort St-Anne, so we had very little interference with our lifestyle. The families had family compounds all up & down both sides if the river. (Think about the settlement pattern along Bayou Teche or Lafourche. Narrow frontage along the river & the compounds went much farther back. So the families could have buried him on "family land" without having to fool with the English. Does anyone have the map of the families along the river. Paul , -----Original Message----- From: Liz Hall Morgan Hi Paul, May I be picky again? :)  I saw things for my direct lines that caught my attention, as of course, I'm always interested in new info. White doesn't give a place of birth for your #14 & 15 below, Jean Corporon or Francoise Savoie, though it's certainly reasonable to assume Francoise was b. in Port Royal as White estimates her parents' marriage took place there the year before. If someone's found a source for Jean being from Poitou, I'm all ears, though. Jean's burial at "La Croix du Sable" comes from White's note about Jean's burial 12 Feb 1713: v. 1, p. 411, [citing Port Royal parish register]: “buried in a place called ‘the cross of the cape’ serving as a cemetery because the country is subject to the English, so he couldn’t be transported to the cemetery at the top of the River.” I assume he died in Port Royal about the same day, but I don't know the geography... & how close the cemetery was to Port Royal. No marriage place given in White's DGFA for Michel Boudrot/Michelle Aucoin; is this from "Famille de Michel Boudrot"? FYI: Phillipe Mius d'Entremont has a bio here: http://www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?&id_nbr=472&interval=25&&PHPSESSID=3mqj5n87ef9balhdhgencuc044 Liz -----Original Message----- From: Liz Hall Morgan OK, just doublechecked my DGFA page copies. Jean is listed as died/buried the same day according to Port Royal registers. The burial note is, I believe, SAW quoting the register, as it comes after the death info & not in the historial notes following the genealogy: "inhumé dans un lieu appellé la croix du cap qui sert de cimetière à cause que le pays est sujet aux Anglais, n'ayant pu le transporter au cimetière du haut de la Rivière." my rough translation is below, not necessarily exact. "subject to the English" might be subjects of or occupied by, or subject to attacks by, perhaps? Would have to look up the date or get a fluent reader to check. hope this helps, Liz

Paul, I'm the same as you. I started tracing Rocky's family in 1970 at the Clayton Library in Houston. Sources were something not talked about and really who would we talk to. No PC's at that time and genealogy was not a popular hobby. I had people in my family and Rocky's say to me "and just why do you want that information" as if I was planning to do some horrible thing. So, a lot of my old information isn't sourced. I didn't buy Stephen White's book as I couldn't afford to put out that much money especially when I was the only one in his family interested in genealogy. Liz, You and Rocky are connect. His direct Boudreaux line comes from Charles Boudreaux and Marie Corporon.
