Hi, Thanks for your notes. I live in Louisiana in the heart of Cajun Country. We have Pellerin's here. Do you have connections down here? I live in Lafayette. Any help would be appreciated. My line is from Joseph and on to Barthelemy and and his families. We are having our big Festival of Acadians this weekend. People from all over come down to eat,dance and see and buy crafts.

Roger Rozendal has provided information re the Acadian Pellerin brothers in his posts and I've traced the line in SWLR. Charles and Gregoire Pellerin were in in Attakapas in 1765. Charles died bef. 1768 when his wife Elizabeth Thibodeaux m. Joseph Martin. Their daughter Marie also apparently died bef. 1768. Gregoire Pellerin m. Cecile Prejean was on the 1774 militia list, but not on the 1776 census. He and Cecile had 1 son and 3 daughters. The son, Frederic m. Marie-Louise Pecot and had 1 son named Charles-Frederic bn. 1819 and died 1835. There was a French Pellerin [from New Orleans]line in Attakapas that was well-connected and most of the Pellerins in the area today are descended from this line. The progenitor Louis was a military officer.
