Leland starting in 1882 With referrences to persons alive then and some familiar Acadian names. All in all , these stories show how the natives interwove their history and contacts with the people that came to their lands at various times , like the Norse, the French etc,. perhaps even a name or two for genealogy Enjou Fran Wilcox

Stanley, I mistakenly typed in April 23, the date of the 1777 Ascension Parish census. The correct date for the 1770 Ascension Parish census is August 1. Thank you for catching this.

Of the 140 families listed in the prisoner list in Halifax in 1763: All or part of 75 families seem to have come to Louisiana 13 families were in Miquelon in 1767 25 families seem to have settled in various parts of old Acadia or Quebec 27 families I have yet to determine where they went A significant number of other families that went to Louisiana were imprisoned in 1761 and 1762 at Fort Edward, a few at Fort Cumberland in 1763, and a few at Port Royal in 1763.

Extensive research done by Elton Oubre and additional work I have done indicates the boundaries of the various censuses along the Mississippi River were consistent usually just indicating new settlers going into previously unsettled areas. The censuses had distinct boundaries and the census takers seem to have been very meticulous. My interpretation of the various census data along the Mississippi to date is as follows (with a lot of help from Elton Oubre). CABAANOCE CENSUS 9 APRIL 1766 (JUDICE'S COMPANY) Right (West) Bank Starts at habitacion of Jacques Cantrelle (near present day St. James Railway Station, St. James Parish) and goes upriver on the right bank ending at Bayou Lafourche near present day Donaldsonville, Ascension Parish. Left (East) Bank Starts at habitacion of Joseph Hebert across river from Jacques Cantrelle and goes upriver on left bank and ends up still in present day St. James Parish near the Ascension Parish line. ACADIAN COAST CENSUS SEPTEMBER 14, 1769 Right (West) Bank Starts at habitation of Jacques Cantrelle (same as 1766 census) and goes upriver on the right bank to the end of the 1766 census and then lists 28 new families upriver (ending up in present day Ascension Parish). Left (East) Bank Starts at habitacion of Joseph Hebert across river from Jacques Cantrelle (same as 1766 census) and goes upriver on left bank to the end of the 1766 census and then lists 36 new families upriver that went settled farther on into present day Ascension Parish. ASCENSION PARISH CENSUS APRIL 23, 1770 Right (West) Bank Starts at Ascension Parish line and goes upriver listing 53 families that were in the 1769 Acadian Coast census plus 1 new family upriver. Left (East) Bank Starts at Ascension Parish line and goes upriver on the left bank listing 23 families that were in the 1769 Acadian Coast census plus 8 new families upriver. VERRET'S COMPANY CENSUS APRIL 8, 1766 Right (West) Bank Starts at habitation of Nicholas Verret (just downriver from Jacques Cantrelle) and goes downriver. Families #2-10 are essentially the 1764 Acadian arrivals (present day Lagan) and 13 additional families that arrived later are listed downriver (to present day Vacherie). Left (East) Bank Starts across river from Verret's habitacion and goes down river to Pierre Charpentier and Jaquelin cow ranch, residents of Second German Coast (across from present day Vacherie?). ST. JAMES PARISH CENSUS 1769 or 1771 No census for 1769 for the area of Verret's Company has been found to date, but there may be one for 1771 (thanks Stanley for the lead) which I am in the process of researching. ST. JAMES PARISH CENSUS JANUARY 1, 1777 This census covers the part of the 1769 Acadian Coast census that is in present day St. James, the area of Verret's Company 1766 census and the Second German Coast that is in present day St. James Parish. Right (West) Bank Starts at habitacions of Jacques Cantrelle and the widow Verret (same as 1766 and 1769 censuses) and goes upriver on the right bank to the Ascension Parish line. Left (East) Bank Starts at Ascension Parish line and goes DOWNRIVER (opposite of 1766 and 1769 censuses) to the habitacion of Antoine LaBauve (essentially where the 1769 census of Cabaanoce started and went upriver). At this point, are 3 non-Acadian families who were former residents of the Second German Coast. Here also seems to be the starting point for the left bank of Verret's Company 1766 census. It continues downriver, ending with Pierre Charpentier, the same as in the 1766 census. According to Elton Oubre, in 1777 there was only a cow ranch (Jaquelin?) and vacant space below here to the St. John the Baptiste Parish line. Right (West) Bank The census taker seems to have crossed the river and gone down to the St. John the Baptiste Parish line and started the census going upriver. The first 15 families listed are non-Acadians and were residents of the Second German Coast (some Alabamans who arrived in 1764). Then in the area of present day Vacherie are Acadians who were at the end of the Verret's Company 1766 census. The census continued upriver (opposite direction of the 1766 census) and ended up in the Lagan area, where the residences of the 1764 Arrivals were. The 1764 arrivals were settled just downriver from the habitations of Verret and Cantrelle some distance from the nearest residents of the Second German Coast (5 miles?). Later Acadian arrivals filled the space between them. The various censuses had distinct boundaries that reflected settlement patterns and political boundaries and were done in a meticulous manner.

List, My oldest ancestor was a LeBlanc (b c 1730). He had a son who used the LeBlanc name until he was about 23 and was baptizing his third of seven children when he started using the name Samour -- or something sounding like that. It eventually became Seymour. So what is my real family name? I have had my DNA analyzed and compared it to three LeBlanc's who had their DNA analyzed. None of us are like the other. Will the real LeBlanc stand up? Beside my obvious problem I know that many of the Acadians suffered hardships; including separated families, death of one or both parents, and leaving orphans. Some of these orphans might have taken the family name of those who took care of them. These orphans might have been LeBlancs or the parents who cared for them might and been LeBlancs. So even if you have the LeBlanc name you might not be a LeBlanc and if you don't have the LeBlanc name you might be a LeBlanc. That doesn't even begin to address the use of 'dit' names. Will the real LeBlanc stand up? I encourage you to have your DNA analyzed even if you have a paper trail going back to Daniel or Pierre LeBlanc. In fact, I encourage all of you to participate in the DNA analysis.

Turns out the "Smith" father left his family - relatives were told he was dead - but in fact, he started up the "Jones" family. 2) Another Genographic Project tale involves a family exiled from Spain in 1492. Half the family went to Greece, the other half migrated to Holland, England, Jamaica and then the United States, only to be reunited when family members' chromosomes were analyzed at UA.

Nagin, who has hosted a steady stream of foreign dignitaries since Hurricane Katrina hit in late August, says he may seek international assistance because U.S. aid has not been sufficient to get the city back on its feet. "I know we had a little disappointment earlier with some signals we're getting from Washington but the international community may be able to fill the gap," Nagin said when a delegation of French government and business officials passed through on Friday to explore potential business partnerships. Jordan's King Abdullah also visited New Orleans on Friday and Nagin said he would encourage foreign interests to help redevelop some of the areas hardest hit by the storm. "France can take Treme. The king of Jordan can take the Lower Ninth Ward," he said, referring to two of the city's neighborhoods. Katrina flooded 80 percent of the city and killed more than 1,300 people in Louisiana and Mississippi. The Bush administration has pledged billions of dollars to Katrina victims but five months after the storm, New Orleans remains largely in ruins. Nagin said his message to President George W. Bush would be that the federal government needs to refocus on the devastated area. "We need your undivided attention over the next six months," he said. "We need backup. We need for you to make the words that you spoke in Jackson Square a reality." Nagin was referring to the president's September 15 address to the nation from New Orleans, in which he pledged "we will do what it takes, we will stay as long as it takes" to rebuild. French Transport Minister Dominique Perben, leading the French delegation to a city that was founded by France in 1718, said, "This catastrophe has deeply upset the French people and the French government." France, Perben said through a translator, "wants to be a long-term partner for Louisiana and New Orleans." http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyID=2006-02-06T213742Z_01_N03281051_RTRUKOC_0_US-HURRICANES-AID.xml

I have reached the point where I really need to get serious about work on the children's fraternal line. The name I need I need to start with are: William (Bill) Parker who was a railroad man at various saw mills in Louisiana and East Texas. No idea where in La but generally around Polk and Tyler counties in Tx. He married Lula H. Rougeaux (? sp?) somewhere in La in about 1907. Family lore is that her middle name was Highwater because she was born during a flood and the bed had to be put up on blocks.... who knows... this would have been in the mid 1890s. Supposedly he was 39 at the time and she was 13. He had several children. and I think they were all older than his new bride. One of his sons was named Lewis or Louis and migrated to California while still a young man and never returned to the family except for 2 short late-life visits after being "missing" for 25+ years. Together William and Lula had 2 daughters,,,Mary Victoria (call "Jackie" all her life) and Willie (called "Bill" all her life. Mary Victoria (Jackie/Jack) married W.Clyde Waters in about 1925-27 and they had 3 sons. Bobby Eugene, Jerry Joseph, and James H. ( called "Cooter" until his 30's) If there is anyone out there who has any information - PLEASE! Thanks, Joyce

Hi When I checked - the Paul that married Marguerite TRAHAN was the son of Pierre Thibodeau & Anne Marie Aucoin, DGFA, p. 1520. The Paul that Roger was talking about is found in DGFA, p. 1523 and was the son of Claude THIBODEAU & Elisabeth [Isabelle] COMEAU. This is also the same Paul THIBODEAU that married ROSALIE GUILBEAU [Joseph dit l'Officier & Madeleine MICHEL in Louisiana. Records are found in the Marriage Dispensations of Louisiana.

Charlie Having him at Halifax in 1763 IMPLIES that he MAY have been at the defense of Ft Beausejour on present day NS/NB border. The prisioners In Halifax there had two main groups.
