In the last part of September, I was able to spend 10 days in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Flew back out of Halifax last Friday morning before Juan struck on Saturday. Beautiful weather when we left. I was able to spend time in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia in Halifax and at Centre d'Études Acadiennes in Moncton, New Brunswick. I was able to get copies from microfilms of the original documents for the following material: 1) 1760 List of Inhabitants in Ristigouche - 160 families of 1003 individuals (Acadians who had escaped deportation, mostly in present day New Brunswick). 2) July 1761 List of Acadian Families along the Coast of Acadia (202 families of 794 individuals). 3) Lists of Prisoners at Fort Edward 1761-1762 (October 5, 1761, July 12, 1762, August 9, 1762, October 11, 1762). 4) 12 August 1763 List of Prisoners at Halifax. 5) 24 August 1763 List of Prisoners at Fort Cumberland (Fort Beausejour). 6) 1763 List of Acadians at Port Royal (19 families and 14 single men totaling 92 individuals) (this is a list of Acadians quartered at Port Royal who seem to have been hired by the British settlers to maintain the dikes. Among them were Augustin Guidry and Pierre Hebert who came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard. I knew they had to be in Acadia in 1763, but had been unable to locate them before). I also visited all the imprisonment sites and talked to the resident historians at each. Not too busy this time of year so they were able to spend substantial time with me. At the Centre d'Études Acadiennes in Moncton, New Brunswick, I was able to get some good material, but I had one great disappointment. I was unable to speak to Stephen White. He had had an operation on his eyes and was out of the office until the middle of October. I now have a great amount of material to digest, but I think it will be a great help in determining the Acadians that came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard and that composed the other two groups that came in 1765, most of whom were in Acadia in 1763.

Hi Everybody – research on the Deportation ships has also been done by Albert Lafreniere of Connecticut. Al allowed me to post his work on my web site. He has also been published. Between Al’s work and Don’s, we have a good piece of information available to us. Al made clear to me that if you knew where your ancestors were at the time of the Expulsion, it is then easy to figure out what ship they were on, etc… enjoy! www.acadian-home.org <http://www.acadian-home.org/> Lucie LeBlanc Consentino Acadian & French Canadian Ancestral Home www.acadian-home.org <http://www.acadian-home.org/> Am-Can Gen Soc www.acgs.org <http://www.acgs.org/> CMA 2004 - www.cma2004.com Grand-Pré - http://www.grand-pre.com/ www.umoncton.ca/etudeacadiennes/centre/cea.html <http://www.umoncton.ca/etudeacadiennes> <http://www.grand-pre.com/>

Hi Monte - this is from Stephen White... <<You may tell Monte LeBlanc that the Étienne "Desforêts" who was on La Ville d'Archangel with his uncle Jacques must indeed have been the son of Jean-Baptiste Forest and Marie-Madeleine LeBlanc. There is no other possibility, because by examining the various lists of the Acadians exiled in France one readily sees that he was the only Étienne Forest among them. Étienne Forest is listed in 1762 at St-Servan, residing with Étienne Hamet, who used to be the Forests' neighbour on Île Royale. By 1772, Étienne Forest had moved to Morlaix, where he was then working as a domestic servant. He was married on May 13, 1774, in St-Sauveur parish at Quimper, to Marie-Anne Jolivet. I do not have any further information regarding his marriage, but more might be learned through further research in the records at either Quimper or Morlaix. It would appear, however, that the marriage did not last long. Étienne's appearance alone on the passengers' list of La Ville d'Archangel raises the presumption that Marie-Anne Jolivet had died, along with any children she and Étienne might have had.>> Lucie LeBlanc Consentino Acadian & French Canadian Ancestral Home www.acadian-home.org Am-Can Gen Soc www.acgs.org CMA 2004 - www.cma2004.com Grand-Pré - http://www.grand-pre.com/ www.umoncton.ca/etudeacadiennes/centre/cea.html -----Original Message----- From: Monte LeBlanc [mailto:monteleblanc3@att.net] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 11:31 PM To: ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Etienne Forest Would anyone have information on the fate and decendency of Etienne Forest b abt 1750/5?

Thanks this note. I do appreciate. carolyn

I also did research in these archives through the microfilm at the New Orleans Public Library, and I also found them fascinating. I particularly liked the annual reports administered by the priests of the various parishes. In St. Charles Parish (The German Coast) the priest recited an annual litany of the poor state of religion in the parish and the fact that the parishioners did not attend Mass. I found some interesting stuff pertaining to the Natchez massacre. Lots of good stuff in there - not necessarily genealogical, but good, nevertheless.

I think that I misunderstood the question in my previous response. I thought that you wewre referring to the Arch-Diocese of New Orleans but I realize that you were asking about the post re the Univ. Of Notre Dame Archives. The Arch-Diocese of New Orleans records in the UND archives are the church records. The marriage dispensations are inlcuded because they were church records. It is a tedious process to navigate the site! This is why professional historians and genealogists have spent years researching the records and extracting pertinent records by subject matter such as the marriage dispensations. The marriage dispensations are "all" dispensations - not just the Acadian ones. The Acadian ones have been extracted. I found some of the info facinating such as the priest who complains that his wine barrel was full of worm holes and the accusation that a priest in the Illinois Region was claiming to have credentials that were proven to be false!
