Hi, Thanks Margy for moving the discussion to a more broader based message arena. Lets move on. I have a question that maybe someone has the answer for. Regarding Michel Hache Gallant. Who were his parents? and where was he born, in France or in Quebec, or was it Acadia? I have seen all three Listed. Was his mother a native MikMaq? What does S.White have in his Dictionaire? Thank you for your info. This is the Michel Hache Gallant who married Anne Cormier, and was the first Acadian to move to Ile St. Jean about 1720. And the father of the extensive Gallant family throughout the Maritimes. James p.s. Maybe it is time to do another roll call, and let the newer Acadian/Cajun cousins on the list introduce themselves and reintroduce the ones that have been around for awhile. I saw some names come up during the previous aforementioned discussion that were not as familiar as some of the others. My name is James Perry, I live in beautiful but snowy Summerside PEI, Canada. My roots are Perry/Poirier, Arsenault, Gallant, DesRoches, Cormier, Bernard, Aucoin (Wedge) and back to most of the original surnames who settled Acadia in the early and mid 1600's. I have been researching my family for about 28 years now. Your turn now. your Island Acadian Cousin James

Jim, Actually we are moving away from a broader-based discussion to the more focused "genealogy-only" one! DGFA, p. 791 shows the following for the parents of Michel Hache [Larche] dit Gallant bn abt 1662 who m. Anne Cormier: [peut-etre Pierre & -----(une Amerindienne)] Anne Cormier's parents were Thomas & Marie-Madeleine Girouard. She was bn abt 1674. Their son, Michel bn abt 1691 m. Madeleine LeBlanc [Jacques & Catherine Hebert] By the way, there were several Larche, Larchvesque lines in the Illinois Region. Perhaps there was a connection. -----Original Message----- From: James Perry [mailto:jperry@pei.sympatico.ca] Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2003 6:28 PM To: ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Moving On Hi, Thanks Margy for moving the discussion to a more broader based message arena.

Jim, Re birth of Michel, SAW shows bet 1662 and 4/24/1668 The marriage record for Michel, the son, to Madeleine LeBlanc is in the St. Charles aux Mines records contained in DOBR, v.1.a, rev. pgs 89 and 137. The marriage was 12 Oct 1711 and Michel's parents, Michel and Anne Cormier, are shown as [habitans of the parish of Beaubassin] This is the only entry for Hache in the St. Charles aux Mines records. Some of the Hache line were exiled to France and some ended up in Louisiana.
