See exchange of emails below - Any help in tracing the line would be appreciated. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com *** You are an angel. I had been discussing all of this with him while he was alive, but whenever I do searches, I can't connect the pieces. He thought he still had cousins in Moncton, New Brunswick area. I don't have a lot of pieces except: He was born Arthur Edgar LeBlanc 9/29/23 in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. He had a brother Gerard, and a sister Doris, both now deceased as well. His mother was Zelica Gautreau and I believe his father was John Camille LeBlanc. Dad said he thought his grandfather was full Indian, which I'm very interested in. I think his mother (Zelica) was from France. His father (John Camille) apparently served in the Canadian military at some point. Dad (Arthur) moved to Boston, Massacusetts as a baby and later married Helen Jean Siok LeBlanc. Dad did refer to his family being exiled to Louisiana and "walking back" to Canada (he says). I really appreciate any help - I just don't know where to start - sometimes I find things and then come to a dead end. Sincerely, Linda *** Linda, I posted the obit because all Acadian LeBlancs are related somehow! As you probably know, not all of the Acadians were exiled and some returned to Canada. If you send me your Dad's line as far back as you can go, I'll see if my Canadian contacts can trace the line for you. Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com *** Hi Stanley, I'm just grabbing at unknowns here - I was doing a google search on my family members and found a link to rootsweb where you posted my dad's obituary http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ACADIAN-CAJUN/2006-12/1166370541 . I just wondered if there is any way if you are related to him - he was French-Canadian and I am trying to trace our ancestry, particularly up into Canada. I'm new at doing all of this - any tips you have would be great. Thanks, Linda (LeBlanc) Feehery mailto:Plcpn@aol.com
