Continuing with what my research has indicated, the next three names on the list of holders of receipts for Canadian money are: 26) JOSEPH GUILLEBEAU 27) JEAN BPTE. CORMIER 28) MICHEL DOUCET 26) JOSEPH GUILLEBEAU Joseph Guilbeau dit l¹Officier (White p. 782), born 7 Feb 1710, son of Charles Guilbeau and Anne Bourg, married 12 Jan 1733 Madeleine Michel (White p.1184), born 5 August 1712, daughter of Jacques Michel and Catherine Comeau. 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 252): Joseph Guilbau, his wife, six children These may be: Joseph Guilbeau age 53 Madeleine Michel age 51 Charles age 24 Rosalie age 19 Felicite age 15 Francois age 13 Basile-David age 11 Jean age 7 Late in 1763, Rosalie Cormier married Paul Thibodeau (White p. 1523), born 27 Jul 1728, son of Claude Thibodeau and Elizabeth Comeau. Joseph and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 4 April 1765, he signed the D¹Auterive Compact. On 5 April 1765, Joseph received a receipt for 166 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). In late April 1765, Joseph and his family settled in Attakapas where on 31 August 1765, Joseph dit l¹Officier died (SM Ch.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, #18; SM Ch.: v. 1, p. 11- Hebert v. 1A pp. 381-382). In the 1766 Attakapas census is found: Carlos Guilbeau 2 militia men, 1 woman, 1 teenage girl, 1 boy My research indicates this could be: Charles Guilbeau, son of Joseph Guilbeau & Madeleine Michel, age 27, militia man Francois Guilbeau, son of Joseph Guilbeau & Madeleine Michel, age 16, militia man Madeleine Michel, widow of Joseph Guilbeau, age 54, woman Felicite Guilbeau, daughter of Joseph Guilbeau & Madeleine Michel, age 18, teenage girl Jean, son of Joseph Guilbeau & Madeleine Michel, age 10, boy Basile-David does not seem to have come to Louisiana with his family, but he shows up in later records in France. In the 1766 Attakapas census is found (next door to Carlos Guilbeau): Pablo Thibaudau, 1 militia man, 1 woman, 1 boy Paul Thibodeau age 38, militia man Rosalie Guilbeau age 22, woman Andre-Paul, son age 7 months A son, Andre-Paul, was born 26 Aug 1765. Hebert v. 1A, p. 743-744: THIBODEAUX, Andre-Paul (Paul Thibodeaux & Rosalie Gilbaud) b. 26 Aug 1765 (SM Ch.: Slave Baptism Register v. 1, p. 2, #5; SM Ch.: Bpt. v. 1, p. 10). In early 1769, Charles Guilbeau married Anne Trahan, born ca 1748, daughter of Jean Trahan (of René White p. 1541) and Marguerite Broussard (of Alexandre White p. 285). 1769 Attakapas census: Charles Guilbeau age 30 Wife (Anne Trahan age 21) Ca 1768, Felicite married Silvain Broussard, born 24 Feb 1741, son of Alexandre Broussard (White p. 285) and Marguerite Thibodeau (White p. 1517). 1769 Attakapas census: Silvin Broussard age 27 (sic) Wife (Felicite Guilbeau age 21) Joseph Broussard age 14 (nephew, orphan of Joseph-Gregoire Broussard & Ursule Trahan) Also in 1769 Attakapas census: La vieve (widow) Guilliebeau (Madeleine Michel age 57) Francois, her son age 19 Jean, her son age 13 Also in 1769 Attakapas census: Paul Tibadeau age 36 (sic) His wife (Rosalie Guilbeau age 25) Paul, son age 3 Isaac, son new born 27) JEAN BPTE. CORMIER Jean-Baptiste Cormier, born ca 1742, son of Jean-Baptiste Cormier (White p. 406) and Madeleine Richard (White p. 1380), and his future wife, Marguerite Bourg, born ca 1748, daughter of Joseph Bourg (White p. 236) and Marie Landry (of Joseph-White 919) both had complex histories in coming to Louisiana. I will attempt to explain the conclusions that I have reached. Jean-Baptiste Cormier, pere, and most of his family were among the first documented Acadians to arrive in Louisiana, a group of four families and 20 individuals. They seem to have been deported to Georgia, were in South Carolina 23 August 1763, went to New York, were in Mobile, Alabama on 22 January 1764, and arrived in New Orleans by 26 February 1764. They settled on the Mississippi River just above the German Coast in the area that would be covered by the 1766 census of Verret¹s Company. It seems that Jean-Baptiste Cormier, fils, the oldest child of Jean-Baptiste, pere, was separated from his family during the Grand Derangement. While his parents and siblings were sent to Georgia in 1755, Jean-Baptiste, fils, escaped deportation and remained in Acadia. In the 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 252) is found: Jean Batis Cormaie No wife or children are listed, one of only three single listings on the list. I believe this is Jean-Baptiste Cormier, fils age 21. Jean-Baptiste came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, he received a receipt for 692 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). Jean-Baptiste shortly after arrival in Louisiana may have gone to be united with his family in Cabanocey, because in the 8 April 1766 Verret¹s Company census are found the following contiguous listings: Baptista Cormié, el Padre, 1 woman, 1 teenage girl, 1 boy Juan Cormié, 1 militia man, 1 teenage girl, 1 boy My work would indicate these are: Jean-Baptiste Cormier, pere, age 57 (he was not listed as a militia man because of his age) Madeleine Richard, his wife age 40, woman Marguerite, daughter age 14, teenage girl Anastasie, daughter, age 12, boy (sic) Jean-Baptiste Cormier, fils, age 24, militia man Marie-Anne, sister, age 19, teenage girl boy ? Unfortunately, no 1769 census has been found to date covering the area of the 1766 Verret¹s Company census. The next available census for this area is the 1777 St. James Parish census. Therefore, I will trace the above individuals to that census. As I mentioned before, Jean-Baptiste Cormier, fils, ca 1768 married Marguerite Bourg, born ca 1748, daughter of Joseph Bourg (White p. 236) and Marie Landry (of Joseph White 919). Joseph Bourg and Marie Landry had six chidren: Joseph Bourg born 22 Dec 1745 Marie-Josephe Bourg born 3 Feb 1747 Pierre Bourg born 22 Jul 1748 Marguerite Bourg born ca 1749 Jean Bourg born ca 1762, Philadelphia, PA Child, name unknown This family was deported to Pennsylvania: 20 June 1763 List of the Names and Numbers of all the Acadians Who are in Pennsylvania (Jehn p. 217): Joseph Bourg, Marie Bourg his wife with six children. In the Fall 0f 1764, this family went to Santo Domingo where possibly two of the children died (Marie-Josephe and name unknown). Joseph also may have died because in May 1765 when she came to Louisiana, Marie Bourg was a widow. She probably was with the group led by Jean-Baptiste Bergeron that arrived 5 May 1765 and settled in Cabanocey. Marie settled next door to her brother, Olivier Landry, in the Verret¹s Company area. On 22 Jul 1765, she married Francois Savoie ADNOSR v. 2 p. 167: Landry, Marie, widow of Joseph Bourde, married Francois Savoye, July 22, 1765 (SLC, B5, 188 & M2, 19). However, she did not live long (probably dead before the 1766 census). Francois Savoie remarried on 5 October 1766 Marie Thibodeau (Cabanocey Marriages). 8 April 1766 Verret¹s Company census: Pedro Bourg, 1 militia man, 1 teenage girl, 1 boy This probably is: Pierre Bourg age 18, militia man Marguerite Bourg, sister age 17 Jean-Charles Bourg, brother age 4 In the Fall of 1766, Marguerite entered the Ursuline Boarding School in New Orleans as a coadjutrix sister. On 26 October 1767, she received her religious habit and the name Sister Ste. Claire. In April 1768, the religious community decided that she did not have the qualities required for the religious life and she returned to her family. Shortly after this in 1768, she married Jean-Baptiste Cormier, fils. They lived along the Mississippi River until at least 12 Nov 1775 (baptism of son, Jean-Baptiste), but after that moved to Attakapas. 1777 Attakapas census: Family #73 Jean-Baptiste Cormier age 35 Marguerite Bourg, his wife age 28 Jean-Baptiste, son age 2 Natasie, daughter age 8 Isabelle, daughter age 6 Marie, daughter age 4 On 27 January 1772 (DOBRCCR v. 2, p. 203) Anastasie Cormier, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Cormier, pere, and Madeleine Richard married Pierre Bourg, son of Joseph Bourg and Marie Landry. Pierre Bourg is a brother of Marguerite Bourg, wife of Jean-Baptiste Cormier, fils. 1777 St. James Parish census: Jean-Baptiste Cormier age 68 Marie Richard, his wife age 51 Pierre Bourg, son-in-law age 24 (sic) Anaztazie Cormier, his wife age 24 Margueritte, daughter age 2 Rozallie, daughter age 2 Felicitee, daughter age 5 Charles Bourg, orphan age 15 (brother of Pierre). On 7 January 1771 (DOBRCCR v. 2, p. 204), Marguerite, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Cormier, pere, and Madeleine Richard married Firmin Girouard, born ca 1756, son of Louis-Paul Girouard (White p. 725) and Marie Thibodeau (of Charles-White p. 1509). 1777 St. James Parish census: Firmain Giroire age 26 Margueritte Cormier, his wife age 25 Simon, son age 5 Jacques, son age 4 Pierre, son age 5 months Before 1770 Marie-Anne Cormier, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Cormier, pere, and Madeleine Richard married Joseph Landry, son of Pierre (White p. 932) Landry and Anne-Marie Doucet (White p. 544). 1777 St. James Parish census: Joseph Landry age 27 Anne Cormier, his wife age 30 Joseph, son age 7 28) MICHEL DOUCET Michel Doucet, born 30 Nov 1722, son of Laurent Doucet (White p. 534) and Anne Pellerin (White p. 1279) married 27 Jan 1749 Marguerite Martin, born 27 Dec 1722, daughter of Charles Martin (White p. 1133) and Jeanne Comeau (White p. 380). 12 August 1763 Halifax prisoners (Jehn p. 2 ): Michelle Dousain, his wife, 8 children My research indicates these could be: Michel Doucet age 41 Marguerite Martin, his wife age 40 Joseph dit Hilaire, son age 13 Michel, son age 11 Pierre, son age 6 Jean, son age 3 Marie-Marthe 5 months Boy? Bonaventure Martin, nephew age 11 (orphan of Pierre-Paul Martin, brother of Marguerite Martin, and Marie-Josephe Thibodeau (White p. 1518) Judith Martin, neice age 10 (orphan of Pierre-Paul Martin, brother of Marguerite Martin, and Marie-Josephe Thibodeau (White p. 1518) Michel Doucet and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, he received a receipt for 2000 livres in ordonnances and 445 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). The family then settled in Attakapas where on 24 Nov 1765 Marie-Marthe was buried. DOUCET, Marie Marthe bur. 24 Nov 1765 at age 20 months (SM Ch.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, #36; SM Ch.: v. 1, p. 16). 1766 Attakapas census (listed side by side): Miguel Doucet, 2 militia men, 1 woman, 1 teenage boy, 3 boys Buenouventura Martin (orphan), 1 militia man, 1 teenage girl These probably are: Michel Doucet age 44, militia man Marguerite Martin age 43, woman Joseph dit Hilaire age 16, militia man Michel age 14, teenage boy Pierre age 6, boy Jean age 6, boy boy?

You know, I upgraded from PAF 4 to PAF 5.2 or something, and the source information is differently organized. I liked it better the old way, but anyhow....

Hi, I was fortunate after 6 years to connect with someone who had information on my GGG Grandfather Rupert Arseneau, but I have no sources for the information I received. I was wondering if anyone knows who I can write to to get a Birth or Marriage certificate or other pertinant information from Grande Digue and or Shediac NB. Also I'm looking for a Stewart M. Patterson from somewhere in Canada (Per son's birth and marriage certificate) who was married to Flora H. Chapman from Antwerp New York. They had a son Roderick S. Patterson who was my grandfather. He left when my Mom was 4 years old so we have little information on him after that except from a few Lynn, Massachusetts city directories. Thanks, Polly Williams

Hi all, There's been a few unauthorized Off Topic posts here lately and it's time for them to stop. If you have a message you want to send to the list that does not concern Acadian-Cajun history or genealogy you need to write me first before posting. Sorry to have to make this post. So many of you are great about writing and asking permission about posting on different subjects. I really do appreciate it. I try to be fair and I consider RootsWeb policy when deciding to ok a post. Posting an off topic post will earn the person a place on moderated status until I feel sure that they understand the list rule about this. Thanks for your patience, Margy List Admin.

Hi All, Please don't respond to any e-mails purported to be from Ebay. They ask you for your credit card number and social security number, warning that if you don't supply this information, your trading ability will be impeded. This is a scam aimed at identity theft and gaining access to your accounts. I have received more than one of these e-mails, and had trashed them as i had heard of the scam. Unfortunately, I didn't warn my husband and he sent them some of the info, but can't remember how much!! Now we wait and see. Jackie

Dateline Iowa By Register News Services 08/03/2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CEDAR RAPIDS Genealogy Web site owner charged with ID theft A man was charged Friday with identity theft and money laundering after a police investigation into two genealogy Web sites he ran. Elias Abodeely II operated the Web sites FamilyDiscovery.com and Genseekers.com from his home. Abodeely would take e-mail addresses of people who posted to the sites' forum pages, then send the victims an offer to become a member of the Web site for a fee of $19.99 to $59.99. The offer led victims to believe they had a five-day free trial period, but they were unable to cancel their memberships. Their accounts were already debited the fee amount. Cedar Rapids police arrested Abodeely after a two-year investigation into the genealogy Web site. He also faces theft and ongoing criminal conduct charges. Police said the investigation continues, and they expect additional suspects to be charged. Copyright © 2003, The Des Moines Register.

All of the Acadians from the Saint John River who were in Louisiana as early as 1766 went there by way of Halifax. The Acadians who left Halifax for Louisiana did so in two basic groups. The first, under the leadership of the Broussard dit Beausoleil brothers, left late in 1764 and went first to the West Indies and then on to New Orleans, where they arrived in February 1765. Many, but certainly not all, of these people settled in the Attakapas district. Some others were brought back by the Spanish to settle on the Mississippi River, at Cabahannocer. A second group of Acadians left Halifax nearly a year after the first. They arrived in New Orleans at the end of 1765.

I have posted this marriage record before asking if you knew this family. Since I don't know Charles Leblanc's age I will assume 30 years. Then his birth would be about 1753 and his father Thomas' birth about 1723 (assume 30 years old at birth of Charles). This time I would like to pose a logical question. Is it logical that this French family was living in the Pennsylvania Colony at that time?

ONE-YEAR COUNTDOWN TO THE 3rd CONGRÈS MONDIAL ACADIEN July 31st marks the official one-year countdown to Congrès mondial acadien 2004. The Acadians communities in Nova Scotia consider this year’s Acadian National Holiday, August 15, a sneak preview for the events scheduled for next year’s great celebration. This year, the festivities should be even more memorable since the Canadian government has officially named August 15, “journée nationale des acadiens et acadiennes” (National Acadian Day). We encourage everyone to participate in their local celebrations, whether they are in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Louisiana or anywhere else in the world. In Nova Scotia, activities are planned for Par-en-Bas (Argyle region), Clare, Petit-de-Grat, Chéticamp and Halifax. To learn more about the activities going on in Nova Scotia on August 15, please visit our website at: http://www.cma2004.com/en/august15.cfm 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/>

Colleagues, The August issue of Roots - Racines - Késsinimek has been pulished at www.leveillee.net/roots/index.html & select August Here's the Editorial for that issue Editorial Suzanne Boivin Sommerville continues her series on the Couc / Montour lineage with Part 7, The Proper Use of Sources. Jean Quintal asks the reader to revisit his ZEN Garden, a review of his March article. Jim Carten writes to us about "What our ancestors ate". What a delicious sounding menu! Juliana L'Heureux continues her "Follow the Churches" tour by presenting St. Francis Cathedral in Santa Fe New Mexico. Fr. Owen Taggart's Tales of Several Cities gives us the details of the dioceses of the Louisiana Territory. As for me, I found a wonderful book, entitled "The Old Man's Reader, History & Legends of Franconia Notch", compiled and edited by John T.B. Mudge. I've reprinted several of the articles in memory of the Great Stone Face which crashed to the lake below during the night of May 2-3, 2003. Hope you enjoy! Amitiés & Zôbi Widôbaid, Norm Léveillée PS If you wish to be deleted from our mailing list, please let me know. Thanks.
