I have heard that my gg grandfather, Edouard Thibodeau, had Native American ancestors. His family is listed as Louis Thibodeau, Timothee, Michel, Michel Thibodeau and Pierre Thibodeaux. If anyone has information about this family, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, Barbara

Question: Are Jeanne and D'Amedee the daughters of Pierre Briard-Lejeune? I have a notation that their parents are unknown. Jackie

Gordon The 1708 "Indian Censuses." includes the Amerindiens & metis living near Port Royal and other Acadian settlements and all people living on the east coast. The 1686 & 1708 census show the Lejeune like my Guidrys (and related Boutins & Petitpas) were not Grand Pre farmers. They stayed or returned to the East Coast. Pierre, Martin are on/at Le Heve (below Halifax) in 1708. Listed next to Martin is Jean Godet & his wife Jeanne Briart who's first husband was Francois Joseph Amerindien. This family used Joseph dit Lejeune & had two metis daughters Edmee (Aimee) & Catherine DGFA p 876 with the same first names at the two Lejeune women with unknow parents listed on p 1048 confusing isn't it. These people fished; were coastal pilots; suppliers of food & water to all nations fishermen. They hunted & traded with the Micmac. La Heve was one of the earliest settlements that the people left when a governor call all Europeans to come live at Port Royal. What year please? Paul Le B [email protected] wrote: > Interesting!

Interesting! I didn't know that there was any question about Pierre dit Briard's wife (___) Doucet -- I thought she was French. So she's possibly Native, eh? I have seen notes saying that the LeJeunes ended up in the 1708 "Indian Censuses." If Martin was part Amerindian, it makes sense. Too bad more isn't known about Germain Doucet's wives. Given his high status in Acadia, it's surprising their names aren't in the records. cheers, Gordon Lucie LeBlanc Consentino wrote: >Hi Joyce, > >Martin Lejeune dit Briard married Jeanne (Marie) (Amerindian) Kagigconiac >Abt. 1684 > >He was the son of Pierre dit Briard and Unknown Doucet but the jury is still >out on whether she was Amerindian.

Hi Joyce & all, One question... I thought that it was disproven (or at least in question) that Martin LeJeune was the son of Pierre & a Micmac woman?

Forwarded to the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maggieb5" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 9:47 AM Subject: Eric Guerin As you were discussing sports worthy Acadians, I thought I would share this with you. I am researching for a book on my hometown, Maringouin, Louisiana. Found a sports card on eBay for Eric Guerin, 1947, Kentucky Derby. He was from Maringouin. Native Dancer: The Grey Ghost by John Eisenberg http://www.racingmuseum.org/hall/jockey.asp?ID=188 In the above book, he is mentioned as riding this horse in 1952. Hundreds of fans surrounded the Dancer and shouted encouragement to the familiar trinity of men responsible for the horse: Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the handsome millionaire who had bred the Dancer and now campaigned him; Bill Winfrey, the youthful trainer who had yet to make a false move with the horse; and Eric Guerin, the twenty-eight-year-old Cajun jockey who rode all of Vanderbilt's top horses under a contract arrangement.

Joseph Broussard and 190 of his followers surrendered to Major Joseph Frye at Fort Cumberland (old Beausejour) on 16 November 1759. In the 9 August 1761 list of prisoners on the Acadian Coast are listed: Joseph Broussard: 1 man, 1 woman, 3 boys, 1 girl Joseph Broussard fils: 1 man, 1 woman, 1 boy Anselme Broussard: 1 man, 1 woman These are Joseph dit Beausoliel Broussard, his son Joseph dit Petit Joe Broussard, and his nephew Anselme Broussard. In the 12 July 1762 list of prisoners at Fort Edward are listed: Joseph Broussard, Sr. 5 members Joseph Broussard Jr. 2 members Anselme Broussard 1 member The men were at Halifax awaiting deportation In the 9 August 1762 list of prisoners at Fort Edward are listed: Joseph Broussard Sr. 5 members Joseph Broussard Jr. 2 members Anselme Broussard 1 member The men were still at Halifax In the 11 October list of prisoners at Fort Edward are listed: Wife Joseph Broussard Sr. 5 members Joseph Broussard Jr. 3 members Joseph Jr. was back from Halifax, but Joseph Sr. was not at Fort Edward. I think the Acadians were paid in English money, because they were able to charter a British ship to take them to Santo Domingo and another one to take them on to Louisiana. I don't think the British would have accepted French money. Until 1759, Joseph Broussard and his band were in present day New Brunswick which was somewhat under French control and probably French money was used for exchange. Roger A.

Before 24 April 1765, he lead a group of 58 Acadian families consisting of 231 individuals to settle in Attakapas. My research indicates all of these families were imprisoned in Halifax or in Fort Edward, except for the possibility of one from Fort Cumberland (old Beausejour) [Charles Dugas, son of Charles Dugas and Anne Robichaud, and his siblings.] A second group arrived from Halifax on or shortly before 16 May 1765. This seems to have been a small group (30 individuals?) and again all were imprisoned in Halifax or in Fort Edward. This group settled in Opelousas. A third large group came from Halifax arriving in New Orleans on or shortly before 30 November 1765. So far, I have identified 17 families (76 individuals) I think came with this group, all of them imprisoned at Fort Edward or at Fort Cumberland (old Beausejour). Settled in Judice’s Company (Cabanocey) Athanase Breau/Marie LeBlanc, 2 children (Fort Edward Oct 5, 1761; Jul 12, 1762; Aug 9, 1762, Oct 11, 1762) Pierre Chiasson/Ositte Landry, 4 children (Fort Cumberland Aug 24, 1763) Charles Duon/Marie-Josephe Prejean, 3 children (Fort Edward Oct 5, 1761; Jul 12, 1762; Aug 9, 1762) Charles Forest/Marguerite Saulnier, 6 children (Fort Edward Oct 11, 1762) Etienne LeBlanc/Elizabeth Boudreau, 7 children (Fort Cumberland Aug 24, 1763).

Hi Paul, On today's maps, Fort Beausejour is located in Aulac, New Brunswick on the New Brunswick/Nova Scotia border whereas Halifax is on the Atlantic Ocean which is quite a distance from one to the other by car. At least a few hours drive. Fort Edward is in Windsor, Hants County, NS - Windsor was known to the Acadians as Pisiguid/Pisiguit. In Kings County is Kentville and Wolfville - near down the road from the highway that goes through Woflville is Grand-Pre. I estimate Grand-Pre is about an hour from Halifax by car. Fort Beausejour/(Cumberland under the British) is located in Cumberland County. Of course in 1755 New Brunswick was then part of Nova Scotia but this gives you an idea of the distances involved. Hopefully the following will help - These are all of the cities/towns in the various counties of Nova Scotia as well as what they once were: Principal Towns/Townships/Communities in each county: * Annapolis County Annapolis Royal* Bridgetown Granville Wilmont Middleton * Antigonish County Antigonish* * Cape Breton County Glace Bay Dominion Louisbourg New Waterford North Sydney Sydney* Sydney Mines * Colchester County Economy Londonderry Onslow Stewiacke Tatamagouche Truro* * Cumberland County Amherst* Fort Lawrence Joggins Maccan Nappan Oxford Parrsborro Pugwash River Hebert River Philip Southampton Springhill Wallace (Remsheg) Wentworth Westchester * Digby County Bear River Clare Digby* Weymouth * Guysborough County Canso Guysborough* Manchester Mulgrave Sherbrooke St. Marys Stormont * Halifax County Bedford Dartmouth Halifax* Lawrencetown Musquobodoboit Preston Sackville Sambro * Hants County Douglas Falmouth Hantsport Newport Rawdon Windsor* * Inverness County Inverness* Port Hawkesbury Port Hood * Kings County Aylesford Berwick Cornwallis Horton Kentville* Wolfville * Lunenburg County Bridgewater Chester Lunenburg* Mahone Bay * Pictou County New Glasgow Pictou* Stellerton Trenton Westville * Queens County Caledonia Liverpool* * Richmond County Arichat* St. Peters * Shelburne County Barrington Clark's Harbour Lockeport Shelburne* * Victoria County Baddeck* Cheticamp Ingonish * Yarmouth County Argyle Wedgeport Yarmouth* * County Seat County Formed Part of/Comments Annapolis 1759 Formerly part of Halifax Co.

I came across this today and thought it was worth sharing... "In Fort de Chartes, Illinois, people wear cornhusk costumes and go door-to-door singing old French songs" (on New Years Day) No further details... Jim Le Blanc Baton Rouge, La.

Because of the size of my web site I have decided to divide the site into sub sites or into categories. That means that you can now access the AMERICA and QUEBEC portions of this web site separately and no longer have to wade through the sidebar. The sidebar is in the process of being redesigned so that visitors will not have to use java. Links to the America and Quebec portions of the web site can be found below the sidebar and as last links on the sidebar as well. The links are also accessible toward the bottom of the main page until the whole process is completed. All of the files have not yet been moved but many have - this will allow me to add much more information to all segments of the total site. I ask your indulgence as these changes take place over the next few weeks. Should you have any problem accessing the site at any time, please contact me.
