It is important to understand the historical events and the geography when trying to understand the Acadian exile and movement into Louisiana. The Acadians were exiled in 1755 to the colonies, islands and England. In 1758-1759 the Acadians in PEI and Ft. Louisbourg were sent directly to France. In 1763, the Acadians in England were repatriated to France. Between 1755-1763, the Acadians in the colonies were basically "prisoners of war" although they had been British Subjects since 1713! Their French Neutral status, guaranteed by treaty, was ignored when they were exiled. Many were basically in a "forced labor" status during the exile years. In 1763, the Acadians in the Colonies were given 18 months to leave. Some returned to Nova Scotia to find that their land had been given to newcomers so they moved into New Brunswick. Thousands were lured into Santo Domingo in 1763-1764 with the promise of land only to find themselves basically enslaved by the cost of the passage. They basically had to work for food and shelter and most died. Between 1766-1768, several thousand went from the Colonies to Louisiana and some from Santo Domingo also went to Louisiana [both with and without the Joseph Broussard group] Except for a few isolated situations, none of the Acadians in the colonies from 1755-1763 were able to leave. The British monitored this group very closely and they couldn't just "wander off" at will. A few in Georgia left but were forced to remain in New York. Some from South Carolina [including Alexandre Broussard] did escape and return to Acadia but were captured and imprisoned. Perhaps further historical review will provide new information [I believe that some Acadians did get to Mobile, Alabama between 1755-1763]. There are several sites that provide excellent material upon Acadia and the exile, e.g. Lucie's site, Yvon Cyr's site and Tim Hebert's site. There are also set books.

What, exactly, was the 1994 Retrouvailles? I know it was a reunion of some sort, but that's it.

Thanks Judy... I have printed your e-mail and inserted in my Acadian Miracles book. BTW, several of Jerry Richard's mother's ancestors are shown in Fr. Hebert's SW La. Church Records were germans by way of Maryland... names such as Ritter, Miller, and Teller (Taylor) come to mind. I have not been able to find how they came or any connections from up there, but they settled in the Port Barre/Opelousas area among the Acadians there and their children inter-married.

Hi (4+1 removed cousin) Stanley & friend (long time) Judy, Your discussions reminded me of some great history of the Acadians including many coming to La. in Dudley LeBlanc's book "Acadian Miracle" published in 1966. I "dug" my copy out & while looking for a story which I have remembered of some treking accross Tennessee who came accross hunters that told them to build rafts & go by way of the Tenn., Ohio, & Miss. rivers to get to La. (Rene LeBlanc, the notaty, died on the trip). After a brief search, I couldn't find it, but did find some facinating stuff on pg. 309 +. Dudley talks (pp. 314 - 315) about Acadians arriving around 1757, citing the 1st record ("a baptism of a daughter of Poirier (probably Jean Pierre) and Madeline Richard, baptized 1757...) Enjoy.

Judy, The "myth" relates to a group of Acadians who supposedly made a cross-country trek in 1755. There is no evidence for this as the earliest documented arrival is 1764. The information re Nicolas Ory that was originally published by Deiler referred to a 1773-1774 trek from Maryland to Ft. Pitt and then down the Ohio and Mississippi River. Dr. Conrad's article corrected the Deiler information. Nicolas Ory was with the 1769 group. There were groups that came from Ft. Pitt and from the Illinois Region, Fort Vincennes, etc. but these weren't Acadians - they were French and French-Canadians. The 1769 group is the last documented group of Acadians to arrive prior to 1785. In 1788, a small group of 19 refugees from St. Pierre Island [Miquelon] arrived on board Capt. Joseph Gravois's schooner - seventeen were Gravois family members; and, in 1809, a few Acadian families arrived with the Santo Domingo refugees.

I'm not sure what message this is referring to, but the overland journey from the East Coast to Louisiana is no myth. I've found several references to a couple of groups of German families (relatives and friends of some of the Britain passengers) coming to Louisiana from Maryland in 1773-74 via the Ohio River. The reason was that all the seaports were closed at that time. See my article "Nicolas Ory and the Germans of Iberville Parish" in le Raconteur, Dec. 2000. If any Acadians came to Louisiana at this time (which I haven't verified), then they would have likely come via the overland route as well. If anyone has any documentation as to why the seaports would have been closed at this time, I'd be interested in knowing about it. Thanks.

You know, I have been looking on the Stephen White pages myself, and I can't find anything either! I have the web address as the source, and nothing else. What do I do now? Should I chuck all the information? Or should I just throw out the source information, and go back to the drawing board for sources? I am going to print out all the families information he has up there, and do a better job of documenting what I found there. The other stuff....what now? I agree that your Ursule Roy information is correct and mine isn't. The chart Germain Mazerolle gave me had the same information that you did, and he said Mr. White gave him that chart and highlighted the Native lines. <Sigh> That's what I get for just putting stuff in that Mom jotted down on a tablet without sourcing it. Guess I switch into damage-control mode? Any suggestions?

On my trip to Canada last month, a relative gave me a fan chart that shows Ursule's parents as Joseph Roy and Marie-Agnes D'Amour. My database says her parents were Joseph Roy and Pelagie LeBlanc. A few years ago, my mother went to UMoncton and found a marriage card for Ursule Roy in a file. She didn't write down the source information that was probably on the card, since she's not the genealogist and I didn't tell her how important it was to get that information too. Can somebody help me clear this up? Do I have the right parents (Doucet/Roy) matched with the right children? And how do I know my whole database isn't off kilter?

The "myth" of an overland journey from the East Coast Colonies to Louisiana probably was a confused account of a "real" 400+ mile overland trip from Texas to Natchitoches, La. by the passengers of the Ship "Britania". The arrival in Natchitoches on October 27, 1769 ended a 15-month ordeal for Acadian, German Catholic and English families! See links from my Arrival of the Acadians Page at http://www.thecajuns.com/acadians.htm for a list of the families and an additional article by Dr. Glenn Conrad re the German families.

Hi all: I have a dilemma. In my database I have Ursule Roy, who married Joseph Doucet dit Villeroy. In my database, they have these children: 1. Joseph, b. abt. 1773 (S. White, web page) 2. Marie, b. 1783 (no source) 3. Agnes, b. 1785 (no source) 4. François, b. abt 11 May 1788 (no source) 5. Adélaïde, b. 1792 (S. White, Web page) 6. Suzanne, b. abt 1797 (no source) 7. Théotiste, no date (St-Louis de Kent Church records, LDS film #0928969). Théotiste is my 4th great-grandmother. Here's the dilemma. On my trip to Canada last month, a relative gave me a fan chart that shows Ursule's parents as Joseph Roy and Marie-Agnes D'Amour. My database says her parents were Joseph Roy and Pelagie LeBlanc. A few years ago, my mother went to UMoncton and found a marriage card for Ursule Roy in a file. She didn't write down the source information that was probably on the card, since she's not the genealogist and I didn't tell her how important it was to get that information too. Can somebody help me clear this up? Do I have the right parents (Doucet/Roy) matched with the right children? And how do I know my whole database isn't off kilter?
