Ed, On this and a couple of previous posts, you seem to be defending SAW against unseen critics. Acadian genealogy is based upon a lot more than just the census records as documented by the lengthy list of references in Le Dictionnaire. It isn't necessary to downplay the work of those who preceded SAW. SAW graciously acknowledges the work of many others who have contributed and are contributing to Acadian genealogy. For the record, the Le Blanc line in France was connected to Royalty [not the Acadian Le Blanc line].

Hi all, I need a little help from someone who has access to Fr. Hebert's Southwest Louisiana Volumes after 1899. I am looking for details about the children of Arthur Beauregard HEBERT & Marie Blanche DEROUEN. Athur & Marie Blanche were married 11/1899 in Franklin, La. They had 5 children, with the oldest being my father Arthur Joseph Hebert, b. 11 Oct 1900 Jennerette, LA. I am hoping to learn more about his siblings, Beatrice, Esma, Thelma and Harold; correct birth dates. Marriages, etc etc. If you are able to help me, please contact me privately. Thanks in advance. Andrea Scott

http://www.heritagequestonline.com/prod/genealogy/index HeritageQuest ONLINE user name- 03CGMRF8R9 password-Welcome ************************************* I received this from another list. I just checked and it's still working. This has the census and the family history books. Margy Not sure how long the free trial will last but you should have a couple of days to look around. Don't forget to try various spelling in the search and ways that indexers might have misinterpreted them. For example I found lots of my Louque's under Longue.

Hi listers, please disregard my last request, I wasn't thinking. The listers helped jog my memory. Theresa

Thanks Lucie: Thanks for picking me up on the delivery of the next books. I remember waiting about 10 to 15 years for the first two! I am thankful that Steve White and Marcel Barrieau reviewed my entire tree (father- BARRIEAU-RICHARD and mother-GAUTREAU-THIBODEAU), so, I am not as anxious as I might be !! My biggest gripe over the years has been the repetition of errors that have been corrected a long time ago, and the amount of wishful thinking--e.g. coats of arms, royalty, etc. I have done Acadian trees that do have some of the nobility, e.g. Castin, Damours,etc. However, they were NOT my ancestors ! Are you descended from CHARLES LeBLANC and MARIE BARRIEAU? I'm certain that you know that MARIE was the daughter of NICOLAS(the 2nd) and his 1st wife (name not known). Many erroneously think that she was the daughter of JACQUES and MARIE TURPIN. Do you live in New Brunswick ? If so, do you know LOUIS and MARIE (BARRIEAU) LeBLANC/ of Moncton? I had taken a break from genealogy for a few years, but have returned to it. I have a huge amount of data on the History and Genealogy of the BARRIEAU(30+ spellings), including the BARRILLEAUX of Louisiana.I offer a book for those who have a long BARRIEAU/BARRIAULT,etc.line. I'll be at the BARRIEAU reunion.Hope I might see you there.

Lucie She lives there and feels a little lost. I was trying to find something like "go to ABC town and see if you can find out where the Acadians lived". Do some local research even if no relatives.

Hi everyone, I'm on another one of my endeavors. I need to ask a favor of you all. I'll make it short. I am attempting to write to every Ceaser in my line. I live in Pennsylvania. I have the SW Louisiana phone book, I have written to all the Ceasers in this book. My favor to ask is, is anyone on the list from the northern part of Louisiana or in Texas? Can you check your phone book for me and either scan or send through regular mail a copy of the page with the Ceaser names on it? I'll take all spellings; Ceaser, Caesar, Cesar, Sezar, etc. Thank you, thank you so much for your help in this project. Theresa M.

Hello Gordon, Many sources confirm that there is no proof of the link between Pierre and the family from Burgundy, one of the latest is Stephen White, from his dictionary of Acadian families. So for now I would consider him as an orphan until such a proof would be discovered. Although, personally, I would find it odd that a member of a noble family would drop everything and come to Acadia as a copper. I am afraid it is wishful thinking from our part. And his spelling from the first census being Commeaux, his lineage could comeau from a Commeaux branch in France. That being said, we never know!

A few years ago, I put together all the SWLR entries I had on the two families of SW Louisiana in which the husband is Joseph LANDRY and the wife is Marie MELANÇON. It is possible to determine, for each child and grandchild of these families, to which of the two families each person belongs. I put all this into a web page whose URL is: http://www-faculty.cs.uiuc.edu/~friedman/genealogy/Joseph-Marie.htm I recently acquired a set of the Diocese of Baton Rouge archives, and in v.2, I discovered a reference that had previously escaped my notice. This is the record: LANDRY, Celestina (Joseph & Maria Rosa MELANCON) bt. 10 Apr. 1791, bn. 3 Jan. 1791, spo. Eusebio MELANCON & Victoria BABIN (DBR p. 420, ASC-5, 42) "Celestina" appears to be a feminine name, or perhaps a diminutive form of Celestin. There is a Celestin LANDRY, the oldest child of Joseph LANDRY and Marie Rose MELANÇON, known from his marriage record and the records of the births of his children. But "Celestina" is a new name. I suspect that these records are all for the same person, Celestin LANDRY. There is no other birth record known to me for Celestin. This birth date works for him, compared to his 1810 marriage record, which says he was a minor (so age 19 is about right). The spacing of the children of Joseph and Marie Rose, about two years apart, doesn't leave room for another child, even if she had died young. Twins seem unlikely, because one would expect to find both records, and only one record shows up. Of course, none of this is conclusive evidence. I'm posting this for two reasons. First, if anyone has any further insight into this, I'd love to hear about it. Second, if someone has Celestin in your line, this might be information previously overlooked. I have updated my web page with this information. George Friedman Champaign, IL

Please put me on the list... details: I'm born & raised San Francisco, but was adopted at birth. LaFever is my birth mother's maiden name - from Oklahoma (I changed the name from Long to LaFever after both adoptive parents passed... I've been researching the acadian background and was wondering if that possibility exists... I know the majority of the immigrants from Nova Scotia migrated down the Mississippi to the Louisiana delta, but I'm sure some settled along the way.
