B0P 1M0 Telephone : 902-542-3631 Fax : 902-542-1691 PRESS RELEASE Grand-Pré : January 19, 2004 Call for Submissions for a Mural at Grand-Pré National Historic Site of Canada The Société Promotion Grand-Pré is inviting artists residing in Canada and the United States to participate in a competition to create a large mural that will be prominently displayed in the Reception Hall of the new Visitor Reception and Interpretation Centre at Grand-Pré National Historic Site. The mural will commemorate the historic events that took place in the Grand-Pré area during the summer and fall of 1755. It will convey the anguish and despair of the Acadians who were removed from their lands and forced into exile by the British colonial authorities. The mural artwork on canvas will also depict the nobility and strength of the Acadian people who were the victims of this traumatic event. The mural will be displayed on a freestanding wall directly behind the reception desk. The impression the mural makes on visitors as they enter the Visitor Reception and Interpretation Centre will strongly influence the rest of their visit at Grand-Pré National Historic Site. The contract is valued at CAN $25,000. For details regarding the competition, artists should consult the web site of the Société Promotion Grand-Pré: www@grand-pre.com.

New Orleans was established in 1718 and named after Philippe, Duc d'Orleans [Duke of Orleans] who was a nephew of King Louis XIV. When Louis XIV died in 1715, his great-grandson [Louis XV]inherited the throne; however, he was only 5 so Philippe became Regent of France and ruled as Regent until his death on 12/2/1723. Louis XV ruled until 5/10/1774. Stanley LeBlanc www.thecajuns.com

In the 1600s, La Rochelle chose to espouse the new ideas of the Reformation and sided with the Huguenots. Both Huguenots and Catholics went to New France in the early 1600s as the Kings tried to find a balance between the Grench Protestants and French Catholics and La Rochelle was the Port of Departure. When Cardinal Richelieu came to power, he was determined to reduce the power of the Huguenots in France and in New France; and, especially in La Rochelle. He laid siege to the city in 1627-28 as punishment for it having asked for the King of England's protection. Driven to starvation, La Rochelle's population was forced to capitulate and the Mayor, Jean Guiton, forced to beg for a royal pardon. After 1628, Richelieu reduced the role of the Huguenots in New France and sent Catholics into New France and Acadia. Some authors confuse New France with Acadia and also confuse the time periods. The Acadians who left France in 1785 for Louisiana were predominantly Catholic. Stanley LeBlanc www.thecajuns.com

Hi, A question regarding LaRochelle and the area in France which was the birthplace of the Acadians: Are there any trips or tours which go to that area? After visiting Nova Scotia last fall, it would be wonderful to see that part of France.

Hi everyone (esp. Paul & Andy), Interestingly, I'm related to the Jean-Hilaire Clement line through another side of my family, and I was never able to connect Jean-Pierre to them. Jean Clement who married Marie-Joseph "Rudouze" (her actual name was Druce, she was a half English/half Cajun from Port Royal) didn't, so far as I know, have a son named Jean-Pierre. Hilaire, son of Jean and Marie-Joseph, married Tarsile Naquin in 1774 and would be of the right generation to be Jean-Pierre's parents (as I estimate J-P's birth at about 1780), but I've never found any evidence that he was Hilaire's son. Andy - am I reading the scan you sent correctly, that Jean-Pierre who m. Adelaide de l'Aune is the son of David Clement? If so, that's a new one on me. In any case, it's looking like the theory that Jean-Pierre Clement was a Vincent is on pretty shaky ground. Any thoughts? Thanks for all of your help. If there's any information you're interested in having from me, just ask. cheers, Gordon

Sorry, just re-read my post and Aquitaine is in «south-western» France on the Atlantic seaboard. The rest of my geography seems OK. Aquitaine is on the coast just south of Poitou-Charentes where the port of La Rochelle is located. This was the port used by many explorers to sail to the new world. Regards, Maurice http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=maurice_a_l ----- Message d'origine ----- De : Elton Oubre À : ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com Envoyé : vendredi 16 janvier, 2004 21:53 Objet : [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Cadilac Before founding Detroit and becoming a foot in mouth Cajun governor, Cadillac was an Acadian, being at least the second former resident of Acadia to settle in Louisiana.

As Lucie has already pointed out, Cadillac was not really an Acadian, but a military man who served in Port Royal. I suppose most Cajuns would not consider him a Louisiana settler either, since he only remained 3 years until his recall. Regarding the Cadillac family estate in France, it is located in the region of Aquitaine on the Garonne river in south-eastern France. According to my 1991 Petit Larousse, the city's population is 33410, and occupies an area 2961 hectares. (This converts to 7316 acres). It shows on my map some 20 miles upstream (south-east) of the city of Bordeaux. Had a fort in the 14th century, a "Chateau" from the beginning of the 17th. Main industry is production of wine. When Lucie says he "spent his last years in Gascony" this was probably on the family estate since the city of Cadillac is located in the ancient dukedom of Gascony.

Of the minor Gascon nobility, he came to America in 1683 to seek his fortune and lived for a time at Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal, N.S.) and then on a grant of land in present-day Maine. He became a favorite of Frontenac, the governor of New France, and in 1694 he was placed in charge of the frontier post at <http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/M/Mackinac.asp> Mackinac . In 1699, Cadillac went to France to urge establishment of a post on the Detroit River, which he believed would offer a better strategic position against the English than Mackinac. Receiving a grant of land, trade privileges, and command of the new post, he set out with a band of colonists. Detroit was founded in 1701. Cadillac persuaded many Native Americans to settle near the new colony. In 1711 he was appointed to the governorship of the vast territory of Louisiana. He reached his new post in 1713 to begin an administration that was remarkable only for the frequency and fierceness of internal quarrels. He was recalled in 1716 and spent his last years in Gascony.

Here is a bit of background on Cadillac. For one thing he was not Acadian nor did he become Acadian. However, he had been sent to Port-Royal as part of the military. He is believed to have used trading vessels provided by shipowner, François Guyon of Beauport, Québec for whom he worked. Cadillac married Francois’ niece whose family had also settled in Quebec. They had one child in Port-Royal where he was stationed but the rest of their children were born in Quebec and Detroit, the majority of them in Quebec. <<In 1683, his military career took him to Port Royal in New France (now Annapolis, Nova Scotia, Canada).>> <<In Port Royal, Laumet earned a reputation of being an expert navigator. He is believed to have used trading vessels provided by shipowner, François Guyon of Beauport, for whom Laumet worked>> <<Laumet married Guyon's 17 year old niece, Marie Therese Guyon <http://www.historydetroit.com/people/marie_cadillac.asp> of Quebec on June 25, 1687. The church record of the marriage lists Laumet as: Antoine de la Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac, son of Jean de la Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac, de Launay et de Semontel and Jeanne de Malenfant. From this time forward, Laumet was known as Cadillac. The "Cadillac" portion may have come from a family estate. >> Source: http://www.historydetroit.com/people/antoine_cadillac.asp Lucie LeBlanc Consentino Acadian & French Canadian Ancestral Home <http://www.acadian-home.org> www.acadian-home.org CMA 2004 - <http://www.cma2004.com/> www.cma2004.com Grand-Pré - <http://www.grand-pre.com/> http://www.grand-pre.com/ <http://www.umoncton.ca/etudeacadiennes/centre/cea.html> www.umoncton.ca/etudeacadiennes/centre/cea.html <http://www.umoncton.ca/etudeacadiennes>
