Jean Bernard recently finished his series of 7 (6?) books on Our Genealogy on Prince Edward Island. Does anyone have access to these books? Lookup for him (Brun, Lebrun & Le Brun) & his wife's Doiron family please. John you may want to write Bernard at his museum, born 1760 he might be married by 1783 the cutoff for part II of SAW dictionairre. Anyone going to Moncton soon please get copies of the above pages. -----Original Message----- From: John Estano deRoche <jderoche@eastlink.ca> I have faint hope that anyone can help with this brick wall of mine. (I'm omitting accents - no good in plain text.) The mystery man is Francois LeBrun, likely born in the 1760s or before, died sometime before 1815 (almost certainly in Prince Edward Island, Canada). Husband of Sebatienne-Josephe Doiron, who was born in exile Feb. 23 1768 in Locmaria parish on Belle-Ile-en-Mer, Brittany, a daughter of Alexis Doiron & Madeleine-Josephe Bourg. The Doirons came back to Ile-Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Island). The marriage of "Basquienne" to Francois LeBrun occurred around 1790, in the latter colony. They had 11 children: Eulalie/Alice, Gertrude, Apolline, Perpetue, Cyrille, Emelie (my ancestor, who married Hyacinthe DesRoches in 1819 at Rustico, Prince Edward Island), Isabelle/Elisabeth, Marie, Lazare, Anne/Nannette, & Charlotte. Nobody (including Stephen A. White) seems to know anything about the origins of Francois LeBrun, my thrice-great-grandfather. Thanks. jderoche@eastlink.ca

Paul, I have this set. There are no parents listed for Francois Lebrun. Please note, that these volumes of Jean Bernard's are based in part on Stephen White's Notes on the PEI Acadian families for their origins and connections into the PEI parish registers. So if Stephen didn't have any information on him, don't expect Jean Bernard to either. Your best bet is to find a census record for the time period of a Brun/Lebrun family with a Francois in it. I checked the 1752 census yesterday to no avail, nor would he have been born yet. This period of PEI history after the census is fraught with upheaval as you so well know, so the survival of any census info would probably be on the mainland of Acadia, in New Brunswick and/or Ristigouche, Quebec and environs in the Baie des Chaleurs. Several families from there returned later to PEI to resettle.

Thanks for the trouble that folks went to, in checking out Francois LeBrun. I have the Bernard volumes too, except Vol. 2 (I should have mentioned that). And Dennis, you're correct about Jean's use of White's manuscript notes (and everything else). Also, I've met him. Great guy. I can comb through the lists for the Restigouche area etc., but Francois would have been a newborn around the time that most of those were prepared. - John -----Original Message----- From: ACADIAN [mailto:acadian-bounces+jderoche=eastlink.ca@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of madelinot22--- via ACADIAN Sent: Monday, April 3, 2017 10:03 AM To: acadian@rootsweb.com Cc: madelinot22@aol.com Subject: Re: Brickwall Francois LeBrun b 1760 Paul, I have this set.
