Jackie From the date, & names I would suggest it might be Ile St-Jean, our name for Prince Edward Island. I believe Dave Hunter has the 1752 census on his website http://www.islandregister.com/ There are also partial registers for St-Jean-l-Evangeliste in Port-Lajoie, & St-Pierre-du-Nord in St-Pierre both on the Island. Also check as Mirande. The family of Joseph Mirande moves Beaubasin to Ile-Royale in 1714 DGFA v2 p 1200-1201. Ile-Royale is the "real" name of Cape Breton. See also 1752 census of Ile-Royale on Lucie's website at Laurenbec (pg 73 in my book). we have Joseph (jr) & Marie (-m- Georges Chauvin). Look for the family of their deceased brother Pierre & secondary for the other three brothers we only have 1714 census info & nothing else.

In the 1752 census of Isle Royale, the very first entry at Baye des Espagnols is "Jean Cousin m Jude Kendy native of Boston". I believe this to be Judique Guedry d/o Paul & Anne Muis. She was born in/near Boston with her cousins Marie-Josephe & Helene while prisioners during one of the wars. See Dios of Baton Rouge Grand Pre Records v 1a p 88 for Baptisim of other two. In Census her parents would be be listed two down from them. Between them is Marie Guedry (d/o of JB (the Pirate) & Madelaine Mius) a double first cousin to Judique. On the same page of DOBR is Judique Guiridy marriage to Jean Cousin. Two of their census listed children match two exiled to France. Anybody got anything to add or disprove this theory?

Hi Stanley, Anymore French names from Ft. Toulouse? I have a Louis Simar that got married in St-Landry. Opelousas on Nov. 18, 1788 to Marie-Rose Trahan, an Acadian. This Simar was born in Charlevoix, Qc and I wonder how he got there. Was he in a Militia or an adventurer?

Ft. Toulouse was in Alabama, not Mississippi! There is an interesting story re Ft. Toulouse. In Some Late Eighteenth Century Louisianians, Jacqueline Voorhies used a document that had been incorrectly filed in a 1758 folder to provide a list of Acadian Farmers at Ft. Toulouse, Alabama in 1755. This led to the incorrect conclusion that Acadians were in LA as early as 1755. The list was actually made about 1716 for Ft. Toulouse, Cape Breton. See my corrections page at http://www.thecajuns.com/correct.htm The French at Ft. Toulouse, AL went to Mobile and then to Opelousas in 1764. Some of the names were Brignac, Bonin, Fontenot, Fusilier.
