Gordon The 1708 "Indian Censuses." includes the Amerindiens & metis living near Port Royal and other Acadian settlements and all people living on the east coast. The 1686 & 1708 census show the Lejeune like my Guidrys (and related Boutins & Petitpas) were not Grand Pre farmers. They stayed or returned to the East Coast. Pierre, Martin are on/at Le Heve (below Halifax) in 1708. Listed next to Martin is Jean Godet & his wife Jeanne Briart who's first husband was Francois Joseph Amerindien. This family used Joseph dit Lejeune & had two metis daughters Edmee (Aimee) & Catherine DGFA p 876 with the same first names at the two Lejeune women with unknow parents listed on p 1048 confusing isn't it. These people fished; were coastal pilots; suppliers of food & water to all nations fishermen. They hunted & traded with the Micmac. La Heve was one of the earliest settlements that the people left when a governor call all Europeans to come live at Port Royal. What year please? Paul Le B [email protected] wrote: > Interesting!
