Paul, At CMA 1999, I met Jean Jacques LeBlanc who is a descendant of the Acadians who remained in France. He gave me the url below for Racines et Rameaux Français d'Acadie [created in 1987] that has info on the Acadians who remained in France. It also has info on Belle-Isle-en-Mer. http://come.to/rrfa Stanley LeBlanc http://www.thecajuns.com -----Original Message----- From: Paul L Le Blanc [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 7:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] TX/LA Cajun to Nantes Hi I have a non-genealogist couzin who is going to France in a few weeks and is planning to spend a day in Nantes. Does anyone have any suggestions or connections for him? Does anyone have the current address for the "Friends of Acadie" in Paris? How many Acadian stayed in France? I have seen six hundred & Gerard Marc Braud says two hundred. Any ideas? I guess it will be the WHO is an Acadian question again. I am going to try & get him to spend extra day & go to Belle-Isle-en-Mer & Poitou.
