Hello Gordon, Many sources confirm that there is no proof of the link between Pierre and the family from Burgundy, one of the latest is Stephen White, from his dictionary of Acadian families. So for now I would consider him as an orphan until such a proof would be discovered. Although, personally, I would find it odd that a member of a noble family would drop everything and come to Acadia as a copper. I am afraid it is wishful thinking from our part. And his spelling from the first census being Commeaux, his lineage could comeau from a Commeaux branch in France. That being said, we never know!

I didn't realize this... is it generally accepted now that the lineage from Pierre back to Guy is incorrect? I don't want to propagate nonsense, so I'd like to correct my database if this information has been found to be false (or at least, unproven). Thanks. cheers, Gordon ==== ACADIAN-CAJUN Mailing List ==== The number one rule of this list is no flaming.

Thanks Sebastien & Lucie -- I suspected as much. I will delete the Guy de Commeau line from my database. cheers, Gordon Sébastien Comeau wrote: >Hello Gordon, > >Many sources confirm that there is no proof of the link between Pierre and >the family from Burgundy, one of the latest is Stephen White, from his >dictionary of Acadian families.
