Does anyone have any information on Louis Alexandre Harang who married Marie Celeste Fortier b. 1770 New Orleans, La. Thanks! mj

Does each city in Louisiana have a court house, or is it each parish that has a court house located in one of its cities? D.J.

A comment on the Acadians who went to New Orleans in 1785: I don't know that any of them stayed there. The 1785 exiles sailed on the Seven Ships from France. The majority settled along Bayou Lafourche, a number at Attakapas, some at Galveztown, St. Gabriel and those of my lines at Bayou Des Ecores (Thompson's Creek) which was north of Baton Rouge on the east side of the Mississippi. They were displaced by a hurricane within five years and most settled in West Baton Rouge and Pointe Coupee. I offer this because so often people mistakenly think that the Cajuns are from New Orleans when they were not. The ones from the seven ships simply received provisions there and were sent on.

Dear Listers, Since my first request was listed I have received several replies and for each I am thankful. Each one gave me more information as to my husband's heritage. Having said that, I have a discrepancy that I need help in resolving. I am tracing Albert LeBlanc b. 16 Oct 1866 New Iberia M. 14 Oct 1890 Ursule LeBlanc. All the information I have received has the following lineage the same Albert LeBlanc Jean Baptiste Duprelon b. 1843 M. Aspasie Broussard Simon (Simonet) LeBlanc b. 1822 M. Celeste Dupre Norbert Dupre LeBlanc b. 1798 M. Josephine Broussard Antoine Alexandre b. Abt. 1770 M. Marie Clemence Dupre Simon LeBlanc b. 1741 M. ? Desire' LeBlanc b. 1717 M. Marie Madeleine Landry Here is where the discrepancies fall. Some information had Desire' 's father being Rene LeBlanc b. 1682 then Rene LeBlanc b. 1657 then Daniel b. 1626 and other information has Desire''s father being Jean b. 1684 then Andre' b. 1659 then Daniel b. 1626 Any help you can give me on which path to Daniel I should take would be much appreciated. Thanks again, Valerie Hamer LeBlanc

Hi again Henry. Depending where your ancestors were deported from, certain lists do exist. For instance the list of men imprisoned at Grand-Pre for a month prior to being deported can also be found on my web site. This list has now been published and can be purchased from the Grand-Pre gift. Winslow had ordered the names of these men and boys records. Included in the list is how many children they had, how many animals, etc... a very interesting list. About 300 were deported from Grand-Pre along with their families. There is also a list of Acadians who went down on the Duke William while being deported to France from Ile St-Jean/Prince Edward Island. The captain and crew saved themselves and the captain brought the priest along - thus the ship's log survived and the priest knew who had been onboard. The Violet also went down and some of those families are believed to have perished because nothing was heard of them again after they left Ile St-Jean. When visiting Grand-Pre a few weeks ago with a group of twelve that I brought with me, we were privileged to be given a private tour to Horton's Landing which is where the Acadian women and children waited with there belongings on this shore as the deportation ships made their way and anchored off shore as the long boats went to this spot on the Gaspereau River to take the men, women and children to the ships that would remove them from their lands forever. As the boats made their way to the ships, our Ancestors saw their homes, church and barns aflame. I have photos taken by someone in our group and I will be posting this to my web site before too long. We were also taken by the guide as close as is possible to get to the Deportation Cross at this time because it is on private land. Presently, Grand Pre is working to obtain a government grant that would allow for an access road to built leading to the cross. The owner of the property would be amenable to that. Originally, he allowed people to visit the cross on his land then some people would leave the gates open and his animals would get out. That ended all of that. It was also wonderful to visit the Ste-Famille Cemetery where the brick walk way has been begun. You can purchase a brick with your family name on it. This cemetery was unearthed when construction began to build homes. Bones were unearthed. The archealogical department of the Nova Scotia Museum went to check things out and thanks to their work it was discovered that about 400 Acadians had been buried here prior to deportation. Thanks to the hard work of the committee, this cemetery is now preserved. The land was purchased and a monument erected. All trips to our homeland are very special but this one tops all of them that I have taken. We also spent a wonderful day on Prince Edward Island where James Perry from this list was our wonderful host and guide for the day. If you ever go to the Island, you must really connect with James. It will be a memorable visit to the Island! Presently, I am visiting one of our daughters who lives in Pennsylvania. I am going to get information while here on the Acadians who had been deported to this area. Best regards from Philadelphia! Lucie www.acadian-home.org PS Thanks for posting my site Stanley... it is greatly appreciated!

Hi Henry, You might want to check out my Web site for information on the Ancestors who were deported as well as the ships that set sail from France to Louisiana in 1785. Those who left France in 1785 were mostly Ancestors who had been deported to British prisons in 1755 until repatriated to France in 1763 when the Treaty of Paris was signed. The Acadians deported to England had first been deported to Virginia but the governor refused to accept them.

Henry, The French established Fort Duquesne [now Fort Pitt], PA in 1754. This action led to the French and Indian War and the explusion of the Acadians. See http://www.fortpittmuseum.com/History.html for a good overview of the History of Fort Pitt. The French and English were fighting for control of the Ohio River Valley and for NS. PA is a long horizontal rectangular state and the Eastern part is near Maryland. It is known that a group of German Catholics and others traveled overland from Western Maryland to Fort Pitt and then came down into Louisiana via the Ohio and Mississippi River in 1777. It is possible that Charles LeBlanc. M. 1781 in New Orleans who was a descendant of Thomas LeBlanc from Pennsylvania was a French or French-Canadian line.

The following information is taken from an online newsletter published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society. I'm not sure I've seen it on this list and wanted everyone to know this source is available. Diane LeBlanc Delbridge ----snip---- An Acadian Parish Remembered: The Registers of St. Jean-Baptiste, Annapolis Royal, 1702–1755 Numerous documents and records must have been created by the several parishes of old Acadia. In Nova Scotia today, however, the only associated materials to have survived and remained in the province are two original pre-Deportation parish registers from Annapolis Royal. The Public Archives of Nova Scotia has made these two registers from St. Jean-Baptiste, Annapolis Royal, available online as a searchable database. They cover the years 1702–1755, and serve as the official surviving record of baptisms, marriages, and burials within the parish at Annapolis, up to the time of the Expulsion. For family historians who can trace their ancestry to Port-Royal, these two registers provide tangible links to the last generations of Acadian French living there before the Expulsion. In addition, many entries include information for families or individuals who had migrated from Port-Royal to newer communities such as Beaubassin (Amherst, NS) on the Isthmus of Chignecto, La Hève (LaHave) on Nova Scotia's south shore, and Les Mines (near Wolfville, NS) — the latter node of settlement centered around Grand-Pré, perhaps the best-known of all Acadian communities. The register entries — over 3550 of them — provide the names of individuals, along with the dates of their baptisms, marriages, or burials. Parents and godparents at a christening, and witnesses to a marriage, are almost always identified. In addition, supplementary details such as the exact date of birth (versus the later date of baptism), the name of the person who blessed the infant (often done immediately after birth), or specific details regarding place of residence for those from outside the parish, are frequently provided. All these various pieces of information have been extracted from each entry in the two registers and entered into a fully searchable electronic database. The end product contains information for 2,579 births, 552 marriages, and 421 deaths within the parish. In addition, every page within the two registers — over 900 in all — has been digitized and electronically correlated with the database, so that for each transcribed/translated search result, researchers may link to and view the exact entry from the appropriate register. For more information about the registers and to search the database, please visit http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/cap/acadian/.

Henry, There aren't any passenger lists of the deportees to the colonies. There is information re the names of the ships and the number of passengers. There is info re names of passengers in South Carolina because the authorities had the ship quarantined in the harbor; and, there is information re the arrivals in England and France. The information available comes from the census records and other sources such as public records, Parkman diaries, etc. Lucie's site - see http://www.acadian-home.org/ has a lot of the historical and census information so I haven't duplicated it on mine. The Acadians who arrived in Louisiana in 1785 had been sent to France or to England and then France and were allowed to go to Louisiana in 1785. The non-1785 Acadians arrived in Louisiana between 1764-1769. See Arrivals of the Acadians on my site at: http://www.thecajuns.com/acadians.htm By the way, I am still looking for the elusive Charles.

I've read many references about the Acadian Deportees and how they were sent to various locations. I've seen a list of some of the Acadians who went to New Orleans in 1785.

Hi all, I was scanning through the online Registres of St-Jean Baptiste of Annapolis Royal where I came across a birth/baptism for Jean Baptiste MICHEL on 3 February 1743. His parents are Joseph MICHEL and Marie PECAUD; godparents are Jean Baptiste PELERIN and Marie Joseph MICHEL. Does anyone know who the parents of Joseph MICHEL and Marie PECAUD are? This marriage is not noted in the online Registres and it is outside the current group of Michels in SA White's DGFA. This is the first I've seen of this couple, so I am curious. Thanks. Jeanne

Continuing with what my research has indicated, the next four names on the list of holders of receipts for Canadian Money are: 12) Joseph Guidry 13) Abraham Roy 14) Joseph Bourgeois 15) Simon Le Blanc 12) JOSEPH (AUGUSTIN) GUIDRY Joseph-Augustin Guidry, born ca 1735, son of Pierre Guidry (White p. 772) & Marguerite Brassaud (White p. 267), married 1) ca 1764? (Marie) Theotiste Broussard, born ca 1737, daughter of (?) Alexandre Broussard (White p. 285) & Marguerite Thibodeau (White p. 1517), and married 2) 19 May 1767 (Cabanocey Marriages) Elizabeth Comeau, born ca 1741, daughter of Francois Comeau (White p. 376) & Anne Lord (White p. 1102). I think Theotiste is the daughter of Alexandre Broussard. Since Alexandre and Joseph Broussard brought all their living relatives to Louisiana with them, she probably belongs to one of them. They lived and Theotiste was buried in Quartel de la Punta where most of the family of Alexandre lived. Joseph¹s family was mostly at Ydtm. del Caño de Tortugas. However, Theotiste could be the daughter of Jean-Baptiste Broussard (brother of Alexandre & Joseph- White p. 285) and Cecile Babin (White p. 61). Theotiste first married Joseph Dugon (Hugon), b. ca 1732, (?Louis Hugon & Marie Bourgeois?) ca 1755. A daughter Anne-Marie was born 17 Feb 1756 (ACR v. 1 DeVille p. 14) and a son Jacques ca ?. On the 12 August 1763 list of prisoners at Halifax is found (Jehn p. 249): Liautiste, widow Dezon, 2 children My research idicates these are: Theotiste Broussard Dugon (Hugon) Anne-Marie daughter Jacques son An aside here as to figuring out the parents of Theotiste Broussard: Anne-Marie, the daughter of Theotiste and Joseph Dugon married Paul Trahan Hebert v. 1A p. 280: Dugon, Marie of Attakapas (Joseph & Theotiste Broussard- all natives from Acadie) m. 18 July 1772 Paul Trahan of Attakapas (Michel & Euphrasie Vincent) all natives from Acadie. The couple is related in the 3rd degree of affinity (SM Ch.: Folio A-1, p. 20). I think this means they were second cousins and shared the same great-grandparents, but I have been unable to work out the link, can someone help? I have been unable to determine the place of imprisonment for Joseph-Augustin Guidry, but it probably was in Halifax or Ft. Edward. As he was single, he probably was included as a ³child² in some family. Jean and Theotiste married ca 1764 and came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Joseph Guidry received a receipt for 48 livres in ordonnances and 260 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They settled in Attakapas where Theotiste Broussard, spouse of Augustin Guedry, died on 27 July 1765 (SM Ch.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1, #8-A; SM Ch.: v. 1, p. 8- Hebert v. 1A p. 149-150). Also her son Joseph Hugon died and was buried 8 October 1765 (SM Ch.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1 #26) (SM Ch.: v. 1, p. 13- Hebert v. 1A pp. 423-424) In the 1766 Attakapas census is found: Joseph Guidry 1 militia man This is Joseph-Augustin alone age 33 After the 1766 census, he moved to Cabanocey where he married Elizabeth Comeau on 19 May 1767 (Cabanocey Marriages). They settled in the area of Verret¹s Company where, to date, no census for 1769 has been found. However, in the 23 January 1770 muster roll of the First Company of the Acadian Coast, he is listed as a fusilier and a thirty-seven year old married man. He and Elizabeth are listed in the 1777 census of St. James Parish. 13) ABRAHAM ROY Abraham Roy, born ca 1730, son of Francois Roy (White p. 1425) and Marie Bergeron (White p. 122), married ca 1754 Anne Aubois, daughter of Pierre Aubois (White p. 38) & Elizabeth Dugas (White p. 565). Two children were born to this couple, Marie-Anne born ca 1755 and Sauver born ca 1759. Anne Aubois died before 12 August 1763 because on that date in Halifax is found (Jehn p. 252): Abraham Roy widow (sic) two children This is Abraham Roy, Marie-Anne and Sauver. Abraham and his children came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, Abraham received a receipt for 272 livres 17 sols in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They probably settled in Attakapas, but fled to Cabanocey in late 1765 along with many others to escape the sickness in Attakapas. In the 1766 Cabonanocey census is found: Abraham Roy age 35 Sauver son age 7 Marie daughter 11 Catherine, widow Lafaye age 40 Marie Marquis, her niece age 16 On 6 June 1768 (Cabanocey Marriages), Abraham married Marie-Madeleine Doucet, daughter of Joseph Doucet (White p. 532) & Marie-Madeleine Robichaud (White p. 1410) and the widow of Pierre Gaudet. In 1769 Cabanocey census, the land that Abraham had lived on in 1766 was listed as ³fallow land², he had moved to the area of Verret¹s Company where there is no 1769 census that has been found. In the 23 January 1770 muster roll of the First Company of the Acadian Coast militia, Abraham is listed a fusilier, age 40, and a married man. In the 1777 census of St. James Parish, Abraham and his family are listed. 14) JOSEPH BOURGEOIS Joseph Bourgeois, born ca 1736, son of Paul Bourgeois (White p. 262) & Marie-Josephe Brun (White p. 293) married 1) ca 1751, a wife whose name is unknown.

Joseph and his extended family fled from Attakapas late in 1765 going to Cabanocey. There in the 1766 Cabanocey census is found: Joseph Bourgeois age 30 Marie Giroir, wife age 28 Marie, daughter 14 Next door is: Michel Bourgeois age 25 Pierre Bourgeois age 20 Paul Bourgeois age 34 Rosalie Le Blanc, wife age 21 Paul ca 1765 married Rosalie Le Blanc, born 30 May 1745, daughter of Theodore Le Blanc (White p. 1013) and Marie Cormier (White p. 403). In the 1769 Cabanocey census are found the following entries: Joseph Bourgeois age 33 Marie Tiroize, wife age 32 Marie Broussard, orphan age 2 (orphan of Timothee-Athanase Broussard & Anne Bourgeois, sister of Joseph Bourgeois) Marie, daughter of Joseph and his first wife, married ca 1767 Joseph Poirier, son of Michel Poirier (White p. 1333) and Marie-Madeleine Le Blanc (White p. 1006) and settled in the Verret area where there is no 1769 census.

Pierre Bourgeois age 29 sic (22) Marie Bergeron, wife age 19 Pierre, son age 1 month Pierre married 6 November 1767 (Cabanocey Marriages) Marie Bergeron, born ca 1752, daughter of Michel Bergeron (White p. 122) and Marie-Jeanne Hebert (White p. 820). 15 SIMON LE BLANC Simon-Joseph Le Blanc, born 30 January 1737 (DOBR v. 1A, p. 152), son of René Le Blanc (White p. 990) and Anne Terriot (White p. 1490) married 1) ca 1758 Catherine-Louise Thibodeau, born ca 1741?, daughter of Charles Thibodeau (White p. 1509) and Francoisé Comeau (White p. 376). A daughter, Marguerite, was born ca 1759. A son Cosme was born ca 1761 and a daughter Marie-Louise was born 30 January 1762 (ADNO v. 2, p. 177).. On 12 August 1763 at Halifax as prisoners were listed (Jehn p. 251): Simon Le Blanc, his wife, three children These are probably Simon Le Blanc age 26 Catherine-Louise Thibodeau age 22 Marguerite age 3 Cosme age 2 Marie-Louise age 1 Another daughter, Marie-Angelique, was born 1 January 1765 (ADNO v. 2, p. 177), probably on the voyage to Louisiana. Simon and his family came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard where on 5 April 1765, he received a receipt for 48 livres in ordonnances and 246 livres in billetes in Canadian money (Receipts). They moved to Attakapas where 15 November 1765, Catherine-Louise Thibodeau was buried (SM Ch.: Slave Funeral Register v. 1 #34; Opel Ch.: v. 1-A, p. 126-Hebert v. 1A, pp. 746-747). In the 1766 Attakapas census is found: Simon LeBlanc, 1 boy This is probably: Simon Le Blanc age 29 Cosme, his son age 5 It seems not only did Catherine-Louise die, but Marguerite, Marie-Louise, and Marie-Angelique are gone. Simon remarried ca 1768 Marguerite Guilbeau, widow of Jean Boudreau (see 11) JEAN BOUDRO) with a son, Jean-Charles. In the 1769 Attakapas census is found: Simon Le Blanc age 32 His wife (Marguerite Guilbeau age 26) Come his son age 9 (by first wife) Donna his son (sic) age 5 (actually Jean-Charles (Donat) Boudrot) Marguerite new born Enough for this go around.

I would like to pass on input that I have received to date with respect to the posts I have been making on the "Joseph Brossard Money Receipts April 1765". FIRST: AN ERROR Brigitte Breau, who married Charles Thibodeau, is the daughter of Pierre Breau and his second wife, Anne Le Blanc (not his first wife, Marie-Josephe Bourgeois as I posted). Anne Leblanc (White p. 986) is the daughter of Jacques Le Blanc & Catherine Hébert. SECOND: CHARLES BABINEAU MARRIED TO ANNE GUILBEAU > Most data bases I have seen follow Bona Arsenault (p. 2413) on this couple. > > "Louis-Charles Babineau, 1723, son of Clément and Reneé Bourg, of Port > Royal, Acadia, married at Port Royal 25 January 1745, Marguerite Doucet, > daughter of René and Marie Broussard, and a second time, at Ristigouche, at > the Bay of Chaleurs 5 February 1760 to Anne Guilbeau, daughter of Joseph > (dit l'Officer) and Madeleine Michel of Port Royal. ......

Rozendal It seems there were two sons of René Babineau & Marie Broussard that Bona Arsenault mixed together. One is Charles Babineau married to Marguerite Doucet as detailed on p. 544 in Stephen White's "Dictionnaire": Marguerite Doucet, (daughter of René Doucet & Marie Broussard) born 5 February 1721 married at Port Royal 25 January 1745 to Charles Babineau, son of Clement (Babineau ) & Reneé Bourg. It also states that in 1763 (14 August census) she was a widow in Connecticut. The other is Louis-Charles Babineau (born ca 1731-Attakapas census data) son of Clément Babineau (White p. 65) and Reneé Bourg (White p. 226) married 5 February 1760 at Restigouche (Arsenault p. 2413) Anne Guilbeau, daughter of Joseph dit L¹Officier Guilbeau (White p. 782) & Madeleine Michel (White p. 1184). See my post in Part 3 on Louis-Charles Babineau for additional details. THIRD: MARIE MARQUIS > In the 1766 census of Cabanocey is found: > > Abraham Roy age 35 > Sauveur, son age 7 > Marie, daughter age 11 > Catherine, widow Lafaye age 40 > Marie Marquis, her neice age 16 > > In the 1769 census in Attakapas, Narie Marquis, age 19, is listed with > Michel Bernard and his wife Marie Guilbeau. > > DOBRCCR V. 2, p. 518 > MARQUIS, Marie (Juan & Marie Como) m. 12 Jan 1773, Charle COMO (Joseph & > Anne Bourgues) (SJA-1, 44). > > DOBRCCR V. 2, p. 198 > COMEAUX, Francois (Charles & Marie Marquis) bt. 19 Sept. 1774 (SJA-1, 25). > > DOBRCCR V. 2, p. 197 > CONEAUX, Charles, age 26 years, bur. 26 Feb 1775 (SJA-1. 67a). > > DOBRCCR V. 2, p. 518 > MARQUIS, Marie, widow of Carlos Como (Juan & Maria Como) m. 30 May 1792, > Juan Baptista CASEBON (Juan & Catalina Daguerreguen of San Pedro de Mendi) > (SJA-2, 15 & 16). > > My questions are: > > 1) Catherine, widow Lafaye: I assume her maiden name was Roy since none is > listed and that she may be the sister of Abraham because she is of the age. > Is this correct? and who is the Lafaye she married? > > 2) Parents of Marie Marquis, Jean Marquis and Marie Comeaux: who are they?, > I can find nothing more on them. > > 3) Parents of Charles Comeaux, Joseph Comeaux and Anne Bourgeois: who are > they?, I can find nothing more on them. > > Any help will be greatly appreciated. > > Roger A. Rozendal 1) Question 1: widow Lafaye could be Lefebvre or Laliberté, a dit for Roy. 2) Question 2: Could Marie Marquis be Marie-Madeleine Delorier (possibly of the family Babineau dit Des Lauriers- White p. 65) who married Michel Gaudin? DOBR v. 2 p. 234: Magdelaine DELORIER, widow of Joseph Comeau m. 23 Jan 1775 Michel Godain of Montreale, Parish of St. Francois, Diocese of Quebec (Francois, decd. & Marie Toulouze) (SJA-1, 54). Michel Gaudain died 25 Apr 1782. This marriage fits in between the other two as do the children. More research needed. 3) Question 3: Joseph-Charles Comeau, born 26 Oct 1738, son of Joseph Comeau (White p. 382) and Anne Bourg (White p. 244) married 12 Jan 1773 Marie Marquis, daughter of Jean Marquis (?Babineau dit Des Lauriers?) & Marie Comeau (parents?)- DOBR v. 2 p. 518. It is to be noted (White p. 382) that Charles Comeau, an uncle of Joseph-Charles also came to Louisiana. He was married to Marguerite Babineau dit Des Lauriers also shown in many records in Louisiana as Marguerite Delorier. Another tie to Marie Marquis? Much more research to do. I appreciate the comments and help I have received to date. Please continue. Roger A. Rozendal rogroz@swbell.net

The Louisiana Marriage Contracts 1728-1769 by Alice Daly Forsyth records some marriages/births that aren't in the church records for various reasons. Some include Acadians. Page 71 contains the following entry: Marriage Contracts Halifax, Nova scotia October 14, 1761 Before me, the Royal Notary of this Province of Louisiana, a resident of New orleans, appeared Sieur Georges Grandin, a former resident of Halifax, now established in this Colony, who declares he has lost his marriage contract, and due to the invasion by the English, all records were sent to Quebec, and it would be very difficult to have them forwarded here. The undersigned witnesses attest to the fact that Georges Grandin married Elizabeth Osseils in the Roman Catholic Church on October 14, 1761, and of this marriage two children were born. Passed at New orleans February 6, 1766 in the presence of Sieur Henry Gardrat and Pierre Gauvin competent witnesses as required by law. Signing - Philippe Lachausse, G. Grandin, Gauvain, Jr., Garic, Notary Note: Philippe Lachausse was a physician and the leader of a group of Acadians who arrived from Santo Domingo [Haiti] - these Acadians also ahd card money. St. Julien was a dit name for Lachausse. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com
