"Scattered to the Wind" by Carl Brasseaux has information about Joseph Broussard's guerilla warfare in Acadia and leading the Halifax group to Louisiana. The book is about $5.00 and is available on Amazon. Lucie [http://www.acadian-home.org/], Yvon Cyr [http://www.acadian.org/] and Tim Hebert [http://www.acadian-cajun.com} have excellent sites regarding the History of Acadia and the Exile.

Can you briefly summarize the story of Joseph Broussard's adventure. I'm not good with the history (I know a good genealogist needs to be.) I want to put together the story of my Joseph Martin, Sr. but can't seem to get my brain wrapped around it. My records indicate that my Joseph Martin, Sr. b. 1736 in Beaubassin, Acadia and d. Jan. 9, 1795 Convent, St. James Parish, Louisiana Came to Louisiana with Joseph Broussard in 1765. I don't know what my source for that was. Where were they coming from?? Was that Santo Domingo? (Is that the same as the West Indies?) How did they get there? Aug. 12, 1763 Imprisoned Halifax: Joseph Martin, wife. Source: Jehn "Acadian Exiles in the Colonies" p. 252 Had they been hiding since 1755? Did they go from Halifax to Santo Domingo then to Louisiana? Is this the group with Joseph Broussard that you refer to in 1765? In Roger's continuing details of the listing of the receipts given in April 1765 for Canadian money is Ambroise Martin who is either Joseph's father or brother. Maybe some of my questions will be answered when he gets to Ambroise. Thanks for listening. Margaret -----Original Message----- From: Roger A.
