Valerie, The information re Jean/Andre/Daniel was based upon Bona Arsenault and has been proven incorrect by Stephen A. White whose documentation shows that Desire was the son of Rene and his 1st wife, Elisabeth Melanson. A major piece of evidence to support SAW's position is that the 1769 census of Cabonocey shows that Augustin Broussard,20, nephew was in the household. Augustin was the son of Madeleine LeBlanc (Desire's half-sister, dau. Of Rene and Marguerite Thebeau) who was married to Charles Broussard(Pierre Broussard m. Marguerite Bourg/Francois Broussard m. Catherine Richard). Pierre was the brother of Joseph Broussard dit Beausoliel and Alexandre Broussard dit Beausoliel who led the Acadians who arrived in New Orleans in 1765.

Each one gave me more information as to my husband's heritage. Having said that, I have a discrepancy that I need help in resolving. I am tracing Albert LeBlanc b. 16 Oct 1866 New Iberia M. 14 Oct 1890 Ursule LeBlanc. All the information I have received has the following lineage the same Albert LeBlanc Jean Baptiste Duprelon b. 1843 M. Aspasie Broussard Simon (Simonet) LeBlanc b. 1822 M. Celeste Dupre Norbert Dupre LeBlanc b. 1798 M. Josephine Broussard Antoine Alexandre b. Abt. 1770 M. Marie Clemence Dupre Simon LeBlanc b. 1741 M. ? Desire' LeBlanc b. 1717 M. Marie Madeleine Landry Here is where the discrepancies fall. Some information had Desire' 's father being Rene LeBlanc b. 1682 then Rene LeBlanc b. 1657 then Daniel b. 1626 and other information has Desire''s father being Jean b. 1684 then Andre' b. 1659 then Daniel b. 1626 Any help you can give me on which path to Daniel I should take would be much appreciated.
