Andre I think we need to check history first. I checked Brasseaux Scattered to the wind and Faragher A Great and Noble Scheme. Does anyone have other sources? It looks like the the Isle Royal & Ilse St Jean (Cape Breton & PEI) acadians were deported about the same time so please share references to either group. We need to check the Mass, Halifax & Louisbourg online archives Start with dates summer of 1758 & then 1752 to 1763 Keywords like Deportation ship (bottom) charters, acadian, French neutrals etc. Mass http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ArchivesSearch/RevolutionarySearch.aspx Halifax NS http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/virtual/ Louisbourg, CB http://fortress.uccb.ns.ca/ Look for ship names & departure dates. Embarking (boarding) list. My gut is they were put on military troop transports (ships) that were near end of charter that were returning to England. ========================== Now we switch to the French records. On a french soil in America ttp://bd.archivescanadafrance.org/acf/home.shtm?l=en use keywords like Baie des Espanole, Isle Royale, disembarking Look for Pension lists in Rochefort 1757 to 1761 If you can would you download the 1758 orders for Lt. La Noüe from Isle Royale to Louisiane I had to switch to the Internet explorer and download their image viewer Good hunting Paul -----Original Message----- From: André-Carl Vachon Hello Paul, Thanks, but I really have all that. I really want to find the deportation date, where they get deported and which ship? Thanks again! Andre
