First Nations Metis, Acadian/French-Canadian Marriage Teleconference Series -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday December 26, 2005 6:00PM Eastern Standard Time Presented by Paul J. Bunnell, FACG, UE Paul follows up his October 1 presentations at the American Canadian Genealogical Society Fall Conference and October with live telephone presentations and Q&A sessions. This teleconference is a free service, but individual caller long distance charges may apply. Register at http://ancestralmanor.com/?tabid=99 Paul Bunnell is the best-selling author of "French & Native North American Marriages, 1600-1800" Paul notes: "After finding my four Huron lines who came from Ontario, Canada and took refuge in Quebec with the help of the Jesuit Priests around 1640, I was compelled to record these records to help others find their Native American connections. Persecuted by the Iroquois, the main tribe of their Indian Nation, the Huron's were reduced from around 20,000 to 2,000 in population, nearly wiped out. Much of these native Americans along with other tribes of the Iroquois nation, and all the Acadian coastal tribes married into the French families that settled all these areas including the farther west territories.“ This teleconference with discuss the status of the compilation, the sources and the errors to watch for. "French & Native North American Marriages, 1600-1800" Though not a perfect and complete collection, there are many families listed here that now have millions of descendants today. This book is in an easy index formation with all the main surnames in alphabetical order, but by listing both names you will have to check possibly in two places to assure that you find all the records. There are 161 pages with over 1000 listings, mostly marriages, others are Baptisms. Note: It has been found that there are some errors from early documentation and reference materials (As from Jette, Arseneault or Tanguay). As these errors are found they will be discussed in our teleconference series. Register at http://ancestralmanor.com/?tabid=99

Joseph LeBlanc (Jacques/Elizabeth-Isabelle Boudreau) and Marie Madelein Melanson (Paul/Marie Terriot)along with their children, Anselme, Marie Madeleine,Etienne (Richard),Marguerite, Isabelle,Charles, Jean Baptiste, and an unnamed daughter were interned at Sutton MA. The family was still intact on the 26th of June 1761, when they left Sutton MA. Have found nothing on this family again until 1776 when Etienne is mentioned in Quebec joining the Continental Army and further marries in Yamachiche Quebec in 1778. Joseph is listed on various websites with no sources as dying in Soulanges Quebec before 1778. While Joseph is listed as deceased at Etienne's 1778 marriage, I beleive that the place of Soulanges is incorrect as I have found nothing to back this up in Quebec records. As no one of this familty other then Etienne is listed on Quebec records, it is my thinking that the family may have gone back to the Maritimes, the West Indies, France or Louisiana, would anyone have such marriage records for the period 1760's-1770's that might give a clue to where the family may have gone from MA. Sorry for the long message, Wishing everyone on the list a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Monte LeBlanc

Hi Paula, I charted this out and realized (what you noticed and I did not) that the Marguerite Landry [Germain & Marie Melancon] according to White, p. 930 married GERMAIN BABIN, son of Jean & Marguerite BOUDROT] Therefore Simon's last name should be Babin. Following this to the end, i.e. Magdeliene "Landry" that married Edouard GAUDIN [GODIN] would have been Magdeleine BABIN not Landry. Marie Magdeleine according to her marriage record [ASC-2, 69], [DOBR, v.2, p. 310]to Edouard states that she was a widow of Baptiste LANDRY [parents not given]. It appears that her previous married name was used in the dispensation record rather than her maiden name of BABIN. Does this make sense to you as well. :-) Andy Scott -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 10:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Parents Question - Further Notes Located In a message dated 12/20/2005 2:40:20 P.M.

Lona Desire was son of JB GuEdry b Port Tobaco MD. JB father JB died in MD. Family sent to Natchez, then moves to Acadian Coast. JB goes to what will become Breaux Bridge with wife Madeleine Marie Breaux. JB Brother MY Fermin stays on Upper Lafouche with mother & sisters. Uncle "The" Pierre Guidry & Aunt Ursula Guedry -m- Paul Boutin move to Southwest LA. If the family records really say Guedry with an E the line is probably JB's instead of one of the other Guidry branches.
