Hi, In addition, Elton covers the areas of responsibility of Cantrelle & Verret as well. :-) AS -----Original Message----- From: Stanley LeBlanc [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 7:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Baton Rouge advocate - How Acadians came to Louisiana Jan 29, 2006 Paul, The Germans were definitely non-French! They also played a major role in Colonial Louisiana. The large influx of settlers between 1718-1721 came from Hainaut [now part of Belgium], Alsace-Lorriane, Switzerland and the German States [The Nation State of Germany didn't exist until 1871]. The original intent was to send the German settlers to the Arkansas Post, but the Company of the West Indies went bust and Louisiana became a Crown Colony in 1721. Thus, the First and second German Coast has existed since 1718 and 1721. The French-Creoles were at Pointe Coupee. Elton Oubre spent 25 years researching the issue that you mention. It is all explained in his book Vacherie.

There really were no hard boundries of Verret, Cantrelle, German Coast was there? We know that they approximately ended near Verret's & Cantrelle's other son-in-law homes. but didn't each census have different boundries? Commandant (Pierre) Nicholas Verret was my 5th ggfather so anyting I can do to help please ask. Paul Le B [email protected] wrote: >The New York group arrived in 1764 but didn't go to Attakapas.
