Dear All: I will be in Cape Breton from July 26 - Aug 9 staying in Point Michaud near L’Ardoise and St. Peters. I plan a day trip to Arichat, Isle Madam to visit the historical society there and do a little research. If anyone is in the area and would like to meet for a coffee and a chat, let me know. I would be happy to meet some cousins and put the names and faces together. Sending you all warmest regards, Deborah (researching Petitpas/Boug/Landry/Bonin) > On 25 Jun 2015, at 19:51, smith.john.gayle via <[email protected]> wrote: > > I wanted to visit l'Acadie specifically because my Breaux/Brault ancestors settled there...........my immediate ancestor Firmin Breaux came to Louisiana alone, but the remainder of his family settled in l'Acadie after they were allowed to leave Massachusetts. > > We accidentally were there for their heritage festival Fetes patrimoniales de L’Acadie on Saturday and Sunday, August 2 and 3, 2014 (I just checked my journal notes.) We stayed in St.-Jean-Sur-Richlieu, however, I don't have a record of the hotel. It was just a short drive to l'Acadie. It was wonderful.........I met Landry's, LeBlanc's and even a Brault who is a descendant. I highly recommend visiting there. > > Best wishes on your travels, > Gayle Breaux Smith > Baton Rouge > [email protected] > > > ---- Roberta Estes via <[email protected]> wrote: >> I am trying to plan a trip to Nova Scotia for later this summer.
