NO that is what the list is for. I would prefer (except for living) you ask the list. Someone may already have the answer or may have the same question. I will look later, but a "rule of thumb" very few Acadian founders can be traced to Europe. The most likely ones are some of our petty nobility. There are many questimates that can not be proven. Daniel is not of the house of Blanc. No proof exists that Rene (de) Blanc is his father. I was asked why I hated the Savoie so much because I asked for proof that he was a member of the family. The only answer I was given was his birth fit between two know children. -----Original Message----- From: . . <[email protected]> Hi Paul, Would you know who Huguette Gougeon Poirier's biological father is?
