Sorry for the repeat many did not get through -----Original Message----- From: Paul L LeBlanc The DNA-Genealogy-History.com Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA Project DNA testing is adding substantially to the body of research available for all Acadian families, and because of the efforts of individual testers, we are now able to trace Acadian lineages, successfully and confidently, back to their earliest roots -- in the 17th and 18th centuries! Our Acadian AmerIndian Ancestry DNA project at Family Tree DNA includes Y chromosome DNA (Y DNA) results for male Acadian ancestors and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) results for female Acadian ancestors. The project welcomes all Acadian descendants, and descendants of allied families who married into Acadian lines, as well as AmerIndian descendants associated with the eastern Canadian First Nations people. All descendants of Acadian and related allied and First Nations family lines are welcome to join our Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA project including those who have taken the Family Finder test at Family Tree DNA or transferred their autosomal test resuts to Family Tree DNA from other testing companies. We encourage any male who carries an Acadian surname and descends from an Acadian family, or allied family who married into an Acadian line, to take the Y DNA test, in addition to the Family Finder autosomal DNA test, and all people who descend directly matrilineally (from your mother to her mother to her mother on up the tree) to an Acadian or a First Nations ancestor who married into an Acadian family to have an mtDNA test and join the project. One of the greatest tragedies of the Acadian expulsion that began in 1755 is the irrevocable loss of family. We, as family researchers, have problems in finding legitimate records for that period as in many instances our family records were destroyed. One of the greatest benefits of Y and mtDNA DNA testing with our Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA project is that we are able to "see through" the gaps in our family lines tracing back to the time of the Acadian expulsion, and find lost links that connect us back to our earliest ancestors.  By having the Y DNA and mtDNA test results of Acadian descendants in-hand, along with available genealogy information,  we are able to trace our most precious lineages from father to father, mother to mother, all the way back to the first Acadian settlement in Port Royal, Nova Scotia. Through advanced Y DNA testing, we've been able to pinpoint specific genetic markers that differentiate descendants of specific Acadian surname lines from all others. That our genes did not "forget" who we are and where we came from is perhaps one of the most significant research findings of our Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA project, and with our Y, mtDNA, and autosomal DNA test results, we are re-connecting and finding our way "home" in the truest sense of the word. Our astounding abilities to reconnect, by way of matching DNA test results, may be the best "just desserts" ever to be served upon those whose grand scheme was to split us asunder and thereby cause us to fail.  Our genetic, cultural, historical, and genealogical "staying power"  is why we have people from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Gaspe, Montreal, Ontario, Quebec and westward, Louisiana, Maine, New York, New Hampshire, Michigan, Maryland, Virginia, Texas, California, France, and everywhere else participating in "our" Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA project. The "Acadian Amerindian Ancestry DNA project" is therefore open to all of our "legacy" cousins, who carry our celebrated Acadian and Amerindian project surnames and lines, our "allied families,"  (including Romeros, Oubres, Smiths, and all others) who married into Acadian families and have become a part of the greater Acadian / Cajun family tree, the "collateral cousins," who are related to Acadians and are still trying to figure out how, and those special cousins who, as Cousin Paul has stated so eloquently, "were raised at an Acadian / Cajun hearth" -- by the fireplace or in the kitchen of a loving (and very wise!) Acadian / Cajun mother or grandmother who never used the words "biological," "half," "step," "foster," or "adopted" when she talked about all of her children and grandchildren.

Sorry for the repeat many did not get through -----Original Message----- From: Paul L LeBlanc We invite anybody and everybody with an interest in genealogy, family history, and Acadian/Cajun history, culture & traditions to join one or more of our Google Groups. You don’t have to have been raised by an Acadian/Cajun Mother or Grandmother to join our “Research Family”. We firmly believe anybody with any kind of connection to Acadie/Acadia, Louisiana, and/or any early French settlers in North America can benefit from and contribute to our Groups. There are two types of Google Groups: Public, where everybody can see all the posts/items on the site, and Private, which only allows members to see what's on the site. It’s possible to simultaneously join several Public and Private groups and have the capability to send one post to every Group you’ve subscribed to. Regardless of whether the group you join is Public or Private, there are two ways to use it to receive replies to your inquiries.  You can use it like a “Mail list”, where you will immediately receive all posts via individual email or a daily summary containing all posts.  Or you can use it like a message board, where you will only receive copies of replies to your inquiries,.  You can choose your option from the “settings” menu once you’ve joined the group, or ask the Group Administrator to make the setting for you. Within our “Research Family”, we have a number of different Groups that are a mixture of Public and Private. Since it may seem a little overwhelming to determine which Group or Groups you would like to join, here is a quick summary of each one within the "family”. To get more information on these groups, go to their listed website(s). (Where no site is listed, contact the POC for more information.) If the Group is Public, you can submit a request to join through the site; if Private, request to join from the listed Point of Contact (POC). Please note this is only a partial list; more family and Parish groups may be added over the next few weeks. Our Acadian Roots (OAR), https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ouracadianroots . A Public group. For research on all Acadian ancestors back to their arrival in North America. Also very beneficial if you have Cajun or Colonial Louisiana ancestors ancestors (e.g., Creole, Islenos, John Law’s “Germans”, etc.). If your research includes any Acadian ancestors, regardless of where they were born, or ancestors primarily from the "Acadiana Triangle" (i.e., Lake Charles to Alexandria to Grand-Isle), this is probably the Group you should join first. (POC: ouracadianroots@gmail.com ) Our Louisiana Roots (OLR), https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ourlouisianaroots . A Public group. As its name implies, focuses on all Louisiana ancestors. Very beneficial if your starting point is your ancestors who came to or were born in Louisiana. (POC: ourlouisianaroots@gmail.com ) Our Metis Roots (OMR).  A Private group. Research on Western Metis, Coureurs-de-Bois, Amerindian, and other early French settlers. A Special Interest Group (SIG) that focuses on the Eastern metis.  This group covers a wide range of research and discussions of Canadian genealogy.  Because the Metis and their history can be rather complicated, we will go more in depth on this group’s focus in a different post. (POC: ourmetisroots@gmail.com ) Our Acadian Amerindian Ancestry Family Tree DNA Project, https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/acadian-amerindian/about/background , is not a Google Group, but part of our “research family”. The Acadian Amerindian Ancestry Family Tree DNA project website hosts the DNA test results of individuals who are direct-line descendants of the original Acadian (and other European nation) settlers, as well as the Amerindians who married Acadians and other Coureurs-de-Bois. Please see our other post for an in-depth description of this site’s primary focus and projects. (POC: Marie Rundquist, mrundqui@shentel.net ) Our Petitpas Roots, A Private group. This group discusses and shares information regarding the Petitpas surname and its numerous variations worldwide. A SIG that focuses on Claude Petitpas, who married Catherine Bugaret about 1658 in Acadia, and his descendants. Also researches/discusses families allied to his family. (POC: ouracadianroots@gmail.com ) Our Hotard Roots, a Private group. The goal of this group is to discuss and share information regarding the Hotard surname and its variations in any place and at any time, e.g., Autard, Otarte, Otard.  A SIG that focuses on Mathieu Autard (Hotard) of Bonnieux, France, m 1772 Marie Genevieve Bourgeois, St-Jean-Baptiste LA.  There is a Hotard Roots website on Spokt, https://spokt.com/hubs/934319  where you can upload graphics, images, photos, etc. about the Hotards. (POC:  ourhotardroots@gmail.com ) Our DeGruy Roots, a Private group. This group discusses and shares information regarding the DeGruy surname and its numerous variations. Also researches/discusses families allied to the DeGruy family.  A SIG that focuses on immigrant ancestor Antoine Valentin Verloin DeGruy (+1759) (There are many variations to Antoine's name: Antoine, Jean-Baptiste, Valéntin Du Mésnil Fouchard, Verloin de Gruy or Degruys Verloin, Lord Dumenil Fouchard, and Ecuyer de la Folie [Officer of the Troups of the Navy of this Colony].) Antoine married Marie Therese Aufrere, daughter of Antoine Aufrere and Marie Mathurine Guillemet dit LaLande, in 1743 at Fort de Chartres. There is a DeGruy Family Collaboration Site at Spokt where you can upload graphics, images, and/or photos https://spokt.com/hubs/934096 (POC: ourdegruyroots@gmail.com ) Our Evans-Richard Roots, a Private group. This group will focus only on those Evanses who descend from our immigrant ancestor, Richard Evans [+1703] and his son, Samuel Evans [+1770], and their allied families. This Evans family migrated from Maryland to Pennsylvania to Kentucky to Ohio. The New Orleans branch also included Evanses who had lived in Indiana, Ohio and Louisiana. Our Evans-Richard Roots has a site on Spokt, https://spokt.com/hubs/934188  where you can upload graphics, images, and/or photos. (POC:  ourevansrichardroots@gmail.com ) Lousiana Orleans Parish Roots (LAOrleans) A Private group. For any genealogical pursuits involving Orleans Parish and surrounding parishes, as many people came through the port of Orleans and moved to other parishes. If your ancestors lived at any time in Orleans Parish, you may want to join this group. (POC: Marsha, marshabryant100@gmail.com ) Breaux du Monde Family Newsletter. For anybody with Breau/Breaux/Braud ancestors in their family line.  Contact breauxdumonde@gmail.com for a full copy of the newsletter & how to join the association.  As Cousine Gayle Breaux likes to say in her newsletter, "Y'all come pass a good time!” Les Guédry et Petitpas d'Asteur is the family association of the Guédry and Petitpas families that descend from Claude Guédry & Marguerite Petitpas and from Claude Petitpas & Catherine Bugaret.  We have members from throughout the United States and Canada.  We have two websites for our family..  The first website below is our family website with all back issues of our family newsletter "Generations" as well as a lot of other information about the family.  The second website is the beginning our genealogical database on the Guédry family. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~guedrylabinefamily http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~guidryrm/Guedry-Labine In addition, we have a Facebook Page at: https://www.facebook.com/Les-Guédry-dAsteur-Guidry-Labine-Labean-Jeddry-Geddry-Petitpas-387769648496/     It can be accessed when on Facebook by typing guidry-labine in the search box at the top of the page. Everything we have available is free to anyone interested. On 5 October 2020 we will have a Reunion with the Hébert and Breaux families at Rayne, LA - the ballroom of the Rayne Civic Center just off I-10.  It will be from 9 am until 3:30 pm with a couple of presentations, a Cajun musician or two, displays and lots of time for meeting and greeting cousins.  We're having a master Cajun chef prepare a big jambalaya dinner with black-eyed peas and will supply the fixings (desserts, salads, breads, drinks).  All is FREE and everyone with an interest in any of our families is welcome to attend.  Our latest issue of "Generations" has all the details.

This year will be a gathering of a family so big that Acadians from around the globe, many who speak different languages, work in different fields, and have different traditions but still feel like they belong to the same family, will meet to celebrate the historic ties that connect them all. Young and old will get to meet long-lost family members, hear about how their ancestors lived as well as how their cousins live now, share stories of their families’ successes and heartaches in the places they settled, and watch and hear the music and art that has come from these cultural roots. It will be a mix of entertainment, education, connection, and enrichment. The planned activities highlight how our history has made the Cajuns and Acadians who they are today, and how they have impacted North America.  Other planned events include a massive reunion of all the Louisiana participants at the Université Sainte-Anne French Immersion, a Tintamarre in Lafayette on October 11th and many other community activities in cities and towns throughout southern Louisiana. For further details, go to the GRA2020 Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GrandReveilAcadien/ , which is updated constantly. They will also soon have an active website at https://www.louisianeacadie.com/  If/when other groups join our research family, we will send out notices of their name, their focus, and their POCs. On behalf of all of our POCs, we hope to hear from you soon!

The Brown DNA Study is a volunteer, non-profit activity whose aims are to encourage and support DNA analysis for genealogical research that traces the "Brown" surname, including variant surnames like Browne, Braun, Broun, Brun and Browning. The project now has 605 sets of members' DNA results. Among these members, 406 men have matches that appear potentially useful for genealogy, while 199 others are still awaiting their first matches. Our 406 matched members fall into 119 "relationship groups." So if you add the latter number to our 202 sets of non-matched results, you'll see that so far we've identified some 341 biologically distinct Brown family lines. This total implies a huge diversity of origins for our surname -- something that few may ever have suspected! Please note that biological science can't yet use female DNA for reliable tracing of the Brown surname. But women are very active in our project by way sponsoring tests by their male relatives. So if you're female, please consider supporting our research via a DNA test by one of your Brown-surnamed brothers, fathers, sons, uncles, nephews or male cousins. Finally, if you'd like info on costs and other details, please contact me by direct email (off-list) at DNAforBrowns@aol.com. Best regards, Jim Brown (James Armistead Brown, Jr.) Volunteer Project Administrator Brown/Browne/Braun DNA Study DNAforBrowns@aol.com or W5DRP@aol.com http://brownsociety.org/browndna/dna-brown.htm

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: kewvaz1 Surnames: BRUN Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.brun/40.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My maiden name was BRUN. My Grandfather, Gustaf Adolf Brun was born in 1895. His father, Carl Ludwig Brun was born in Gammalkil in Ostergotland. Carl Ludwig's mother was named Stina Jacobsdotter and was unwed when he was born. No one is certain where the sirname BRUN came from. Carl Ludwig's mother died when he was a small boy and he lived in the poor house. Eventually, he was taken in and raised by a local couple-perhaps thats where the Brun name comes from. I am not sure when, but one of the Swedish kings had no children and spent time in France he brought back someone named "Bernadotte" and that name is the present Royal Family's sirname. I have often thought that perhaps a lot of French people, soldiers, etc., came to Sweden during that time and Brun is French for Brown. I would like to hear from you. Interestingly enough, my Paternal Grandmother's maiden name was Pettersson from Fagersta, Vastmanland. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The Brun family from Nova Scotia (originally Acadie) were descended from Vincent Brun, born 1616 in LaChausse, Loudun, France, who married Marie-Renee Breau in France. My line is through their son Sebastien, born c 1654-5, however there was another son Andree, born August 21, 1646. Our family is Acadian and I suggest the following book if you have not studied their history: <http://www.amazon.com/Great-Noble-Scheme-Expulsion-Acadians/dp/0393328279/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228652983&sr=1-2>A Great and Noble Scheme: The Tragic Story of the Expulsion of the French Acadians from Their American Homeland by <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=John%20Mack%20Faragher>John Mack Faragher. My Brun line returned to Nova Scotia (although not to Port Royal) after the Great Deportation and Anglicized the name to Brine. Research on Victor Brun's line will likely reveal the emigration of your line to Quebec, which I expect would be during the Deportation as well. Keep me posted on your findings so we can compare notes on lineages. Thanks, Marilyn Brine Gilmour At 03:00 AM 12/7/2008, you wrote: >Today's Topics: > > 1.
