Nicolet IS on the south shore of the St Lawrence River, about 100 kms west of Quebec City. Depending on what you define as an area, Nicolet is in the Trois Rivieres area... So many people are right... :-) Yves Dussault Laval, QC
Hi everyone, WRONG.... Nicolet IS inTrois-Rivi�res area. Check your map everybody. Sorry to contradict you Yvon. Thanks Nicole Deroy
Hi Folks: WRONG... Nicolet is NOT in the Trois Rivieres area... it is about 10-15 k-miles West of Quebec City in the Province of Quebec. FYI. Yvon Cyr At 06:39 PM 8/19/2003 -0500, you wrote: >i know it's in troi river area of canada...many Metis from/in that area. >lookin for more info. alice >

Thank you, B >> Found this on the internet and translated it on my computer: NICOLET Geographical situation Situated in the heart of Quebec, the agglomeration nicolétaine shelters a population of 8 000 residents and covers an area of 94,5 km2. Nicolet constitutes a pole of first order on the south bank of the river because it has a market of approximately 180 000 persons in a radius of 50 km. It is equally possible to rejoin near 75 % of the population of Quebec in 90 minutes. The presence of the greatest industrial park of Quebec, situated to Bécancour, renders again more interesting the economic and geographical situation of Nicolet when one speaks proximity of the market. Distance of the main poles Bécancour 25 km 20 min. ( Industrial park) Drummondville 55 km 35 min. Three - Rivers 20 km 15 min. Quebec 150 km 90 min. Montreal 155 km 90 min.

Hi, can someone tell me where Nicolet is/was? Thank you, BG
I have asked about some of these people before, but now I'm going to try a different track. Anastasie GUIDRY, daughter of Pierre and Marguerite (peggy) MILLER, married David REES, from Pennsylvania, 9 Jan 1805-St Martinville. I have been told they had 12 children, but the only one I have is Henry, b abt 1821. He married Aspasie CASTILLE, 14 sept 1842, St Martinville. First big question: Who were Aspasie Castille's parents? and anything further back, if anyone has it. Henry and Aspasie had at least 4 children. Their daughter, Nanette Victorie Rees seems to have married at least 3 times. These are the marriages I am trying to figure out for big question # 2! 1) She seems to have married someone named Polk, probably abt 1866. When I finally found her today in the 1880 census with the man I believe to be husband #3, there is a stepson listed for him named Sam Polk, age 13. 2) On 8 sept 1870 she married Joseph Musso from Italy (variously spelled Musseau, Mussot, Mussio, in different records, spelled Musseau today.) They had a son, Donato Paul Musseau b 16 sept 1871 in Breaux Bridge. 3) In the 1880 census she is married to a man named Manuel SEVIACHIE, from Greece. They have an 8mo old daughter listed named Nicola Seviachie, and both of the above boys are listed as his stepsons. Does any one have any information on any of these people? I would appreciate any help I can get. Donato Paul Musseau married Rosa Leontine Thibodeaux, daughter of Charles Ovide and Marie Eleanore Bertrand somewhere around late 1891 or early 1892. She had married Adolphe Thibodeaux 19 dec 1889, but he must have died shortly after that, because she and Donato had their first child, Stephen Joseph Musseau 1 oct 1892. I found records of baptism for 7 of their children when I was researching in St Martinville. I could not find a marriage for them, or a death on Adolphe, but I only had a few hours to spend there. If anyone can even point me in the right direction to look, I would be thrilled! Thanks for your time. Deborah Allen
According to Donald Hebert's SWLR, vol. 4, p. 93, Aspasie Castille's parents were Gervais Castille and Marie Antoinette LeBlanc.

Hi, I wanted to let you all know about a list I recently started. I consider it to be a sister list to Acadian-Cajun-L. The list is open to all here and anyone else who finds their way to the La-Cajun list. The list's focus is the cajun culture. Cajun recipes, traditions, dance, music and festivals, jokes are all welcome. Debates on the "proper" spices are allowed:-). One rule, no personal attacks/insults. The purpose of the list is to share our traditions and have fun. We welcome comparisons and all input from those who's ancestors never came to Louisiana. Acadian culture still belongs on the Acadian-Cajun list. >From the index page at RootsWeb: LA-CAJUN-L Topic: A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest in Cajuns in Louisiana. Topics also include Cajun history and culture. Traditions, recipes and holiday discussions are welcome. *********************************** >From the mailing list welcome email: Welcome to the LA-CAJUN mailing list!

I've just skimmed my copy of a 765 page [8 1/2 * 11" pages] book by Elton Oubre named Vacherie. It is an updated publication of his 1987 book by the same name. Vacherie means "cattle ranch" and the place is a regional area of St. James Parish settled by the Germans and early Acadians. In addition to the history and genealogy of the early Acadians in St. James, Ascension and Assumption Parishes, the book covers St. John the Baptist, St. Charles,Lafourche and Terrebonne since there was inter-marriages among the French, French-Canadian, Germans, Acadians, Spanish, etc. The book is priced at an unbelievably low price of $50.00 plus $5.00 postage/shipping. For additional information or to order your copy, please send an email to Elton at eoubre@charter.net Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com

Recently, several persons have inquired re ordering Le Dictionnaire and other books. I've decided to prepare a Books and Publications Page to provide source and ordering information for Acadian-Cajun-Louisiana genealogy, i.e. the ADNO/DOBR/SWLR/SLR books, Le Dictionnaire, and publications by the genealogical societies: La. Gen. Society, TGS, ACGS, etc., family associations and individuals. To avoid duplication, I'll provide links to other sites that already have the info posted {Lucie's site for Le Dictionnaire, etc.] Also, I'll have a section for individuals to post their "wish list" for out-of-print or used books.
