There was an Isle of Pines off of Cuba. My father and brother vacationed there one summer before Castro's time. Paula in Texas Hi Recently I was in touch with a fellow "Bergeron" researcher who happens to be my nephew. When he talked with grandther in the 70's he was told that some of the Bergeron family came to Louisiana from the "Isle of Pines" Can someone help with this? I haven't heard of this until now. Thanks, M

Thanks Paula..... I wonder if some Acadians stopped over there on their way to Louisiana.? Sure hope someone on list can help with this.

I could not find a reference to Isle of Pines in: Brasseeaux Scattered to the Wind and Faragher A Great & Noble Scheme. online searches led to the ones in Cuba & New Caladonia. Could we have Isle of Pines in French & Spanish maybe this would help. Gut feeling tell be to start looking near Mole St-Nicholas, St-Domingue (Haiti) -----Original Message----- From: mladner Thanks Paula.....
