NCESTOR QUEST ~ ~ ~ ENJOY ~ ~ ~    ~ My Ancestor Quest ~ Where did they migrate Way back in their day, What was their life like, Where "next" did they stay? When were they born, Where now do they rest? These family I follow, Their life, is my quest. As the "new lands" were opened In droves, did they leave, Family scattered like driftwood, Leaving old ones to grieve. What land were they fathered What there did they see? Were they somehow related, To both you, and me? Who were their life partners, What names will I find? Their children are many, Were their faces like mine? First names keep repeating As surnames entwine, With descendants so many Which Rene will prove mine? Each day, by the mail box I hope, and I pray, Someone with more knowledge Will send answers my way. Please Lord, send an Angel, Give me proof, as I sort; With birth dates, speculations, And first names, "cut short". Old maps, clips and photos, I find, trade, and share, All help solve this puzzle With spaces left bare. The lessons in history, That now, I know well. >From guesses, to gospel, For years, I did dwell. Lost memories, so precious, I find, now and then At times real discouraged, Then find faith again! What hardships, achievements, Adventures, and woe, What joys, and true blessings, Did "my people" know? Family stories, so treasured, Memories told, without doubt, Old voices and faces, >From "our world", winked out. Where last did they travel? My ancestors,"true". With each question answered The quest starts anew.

Canadian parliament consideration of Acadian national holiday Group: alt.culture.cajun Date: Tue, Dec 4, 2001, 2:33pm (CST+6) From: bcomeaux@earthlink.net (Brian Gabriel Comeaux) Liberals look to appease Acadians http://www.telegraphjournal.com New Brunswick TELEGRAPH-JOURNAL RICHARD ROIK         Telegraph-Journal OTTAWA - New Brunswick's newest senator will use his maiden speech to promote Aug. 15 as a national day of recognition for Acadians. The move comes as Ottawa tries to ease the sting of defeating demands the British Crown apologize for the Acadian deportation. Joe Day, a Hampton lawyer, confirmed Monday he's been enlisted by party "leadership" to bolster the Senate motion aimed at putting a more forward-looking spin on the Acadian contribution to Canada. "It's not a question of how strongly do I feel that Aug. 15 be recognized," Mr. Day admitted. "I think it's 'do I understand the Acadian population and the contributions they've made,' and I certainly do. "It's a subject that pertains to New Brunswick. It's one that's on the order paper right now, and the leadership has suggested that they want some speakers on that to understand what it's about. I understand what it's about." Mr. Day's looming involvement in the debate has not been finalized yet, but it comes just one week after Liberals defeated a Bloc Québécois MP's bill seeking a British Crown apology for the 1755-63 expulsion of more than 10,000 Acadians in the Maritimes. New Brunswick Liberal Senator Rose-Marie Losier-Cool, who describes herself as an "Acadian watchdog," is behind the Senate motion that surfaced in the summer - just as tensions over the Acadian apology were heating up along partisan lines. Federal Labour Minister Claudette Bradshaw, who represents the Moncton-area riding, confirmed the federal government is strongly behind recognizing Aug. 15 as fête nationale des acadiens et acadiennes.eating up along partisan lines. "We're taking that really seriously," Ms. Bradshaw said Monday. "It's something we've been discussing and, yeah, we want to do it." But she downplayed the recent political overtones to the Senate motion. "The Acadians have been asking us for that for many, many years," she said. "They want it to be on the calendar." Viola Leger, another rookie New Brunswick Liberal senator, used her own maiden speech last month to express support for the Senate motion by outlining Acadians' artistic and cultural contributions. Ms. Leger, a 71-year-old Acadian actress, is best known for playing the lead role in Antonine Maillet's La Sagouine. Mr. Day said he believes the Senate motion is a win-win proposition. "I think that it hurts no one and recognizes the contribution of particular peoples within Canada," he said. Reach our reporter tjotta@nb.aibn.com I SAY A BIG AMEN ME!!!!:) ALICE

Today, alone of all my scattered race, I see again the beauty of our land, Made fair and fruitful by a banished hand; Endeared of tongue never to know this place. Meadows and dykes, and hearths now cold I trace; And tyrant tides never to brook command. Where undisturbed the rustling willows stand, And the curved grass, telling the breeze's pace.   Before the march of power the weak must bend, And yet forgive. The savage strong will smite. The glossing words of reason and of song, To tell of hate and virtue to defend, Shall never set the bitter deed aright, Nor satisfy the ages with the wrong.                                                                                                                                                                   JOHN FREDERICK HERBIN   RETURN TO BEAUBASSIN   Woe fell upon you, ye genial race - -Ye exile sons of lily France ! This is no more your dwelling place, - - Ye live in music and romance; But oft as purple eventide, Bathes all these hills in fire and dew, Some wanderer by the riverside Shall drop a tear and dream of you.   The vale still rings with childhood's song Amid its yellowing sea of flowers, While days of summer glide along On wings of light through all your bowers; Here are the trees you planted - - here, The remnants of your broken homes; But to old graves, from year to year, No ghostly mourner ever comes.

Day 3: Dear Boudreaux, Why doan you sent some crawfish? I'm tired of eating dem darn birds. I gave two of dose prissy French chickens to Marie Trahan over at Grans Bayou an fed the tird one to my dog Phideaux. Marie needed some sparing partners for her fighting rooster. Day 4: Dear Boudreaux, Mon Dieux! I tol you no more birds. Deez four, what you call dem "calling birds" were so noisy you could hear dem all de way to Napoleonville.

Since de maids doan have no more cows ta milk, I trained dem ta set my crab traps, watch my trotlines, an run my shrimping business. We will probably gross a million clams nex year. Return Home

Acadian History, letter from A.L. Morse 1935 Berwick Register, March 27, 1935 As Written By Our Versatile Local Contributor, A. L. Morse. Editor The Register: The last article printed in The Register from the pen of P. F. Lawson interested me very much, particularly its reference to the historic past concerning the "Expulsion of the Acadians" from Grand Pre in 1755. I must say that from my earliest boyhood I have always felt sorry for the poor Acadians, in fact I have shed not enough tears to float a ship but enough to appear s blots on the paper as I wrote. I once got a letter from a young lady friend who said at the end of the letter, "I do not know what you will think of the blots on the letter which I write, whether they are tear spots or ink spots but form your own conclusion as I am all through writing any more." Now, if any teardrops from my eyes fell on the page written by her, it does not matter as it came out all right in the end. So, also, has it all come right with the Expulsion of the Acadians, or otherwise our friend Lawson would not have the experience he is having and will have in organizing that great gathering of the descendants of those old Acadians when they come to visit the land of their French ancestors. When I sat down to write I did not intend to write as I have been writing, not at all, but to write a simple tale of treasure trove left buried by the poor French people. How often have I sat and listened s a boy to my relatives and friends telling of money found buried in different places in Kings and Annapolis Counties. In some cases there has been a chart of location of the treasure. Anyway a clue to guide the seeker in his hunt for it. Now comes the tale. My maternal ancestors arriving in Halifax not many years after the Expulsion of the Acadians, continued their journey on foot, arriving in the eastern end of Kings County and squatting on a vacant place, commenced housekeeping. They, having no money to hire help, secured the help of a neighbor who had a yoke of oxen who sent his sons to drive them. They also had a plow, a French plow by the way. You may wonder how they happened to have a yoke of oxen. It is a well known fact that a great many cattle were left on the land vacated and I could unfold another authentic tale concerning the German settlers of Lunenburg County who came through the woods and drove them back. Some say the even Evangeline's beautiful heifer did not escape their rapacity. But on with my tale. Just imagine yourself hitching up your team some fine morning in May and, holding the plow handles with a rim grip, singing out to the boy driver: "Keep those oxen in the furrow and don't be gawking all around the farm." "Get up, Spark! Gee Bright! You old lump of contrariety," or words much more emphatic. Suddenly bringing up with a jerk, and lo, you are hung up on a root. But in this case of my ancestor it proved to be the bail of a huge iron pot which caught the point of the plough and slid up as far as the beam and brought the team up ver suddenly. Now my great grandfather must have been a very quick witted man for he caught on very quickly as to the contents of the pot, and stepping ahead, seated himself immediately over the handle, and placing both hands directly over that part of his anatomy nearest the appendix, said to the boy: "Unhook the oxen and take them home, leave the plow; I have a violent cramp of the stomach; when I recover I will let y! ou know." If the boys of that time were anything like I used to be, there is no doubt but that he acceded very willingly. To hasten the telling of this tale the sequel is this. My ancestors, young married people, as soon as possible unearthed the pot, the contents of which enabled them to erect a fine house. When they died they left property which was valued at $12,000 but I am sorry to say that easy money is "uneasy money" and it passed away in the next generation, nothing left to posterity. Alas and alack! All I have in my possession is the old plow and the huge French pot in which the loot was found. Yours truly, (Sgd.) A. L. Morse. P. S. - One thing more I would like to write for the benefit of friend Pete. It is this. If he should meet with any direct descendants of the old French Exiles of 1755, tell them of this true account of which I have written and if they can prove without a shadow of a doubt that they are descendants of those who deposited their wealth in the pot, I will gladly deliver over into their keeping the old pot together with all it contains at the present time. A.L.M.

Acadian fete to feature family theme Reply to: AcadianGenealogy@yahoogroups.com In "THE CHRONICLE-HERALD" Halifax newspaper. Monday, November 19, 2001 Acadian fete to feature family theme 250,000 expected at 2004 gala By Susan Bradley / Staff Reporter The third annual Congres mondial acadien, slated for 2004, will be a family affair, said organizer Allister Surette Saturday. Groups of Acadian families, from southwest Nova Scotia to Cape Breton, will host individual gatherings in addition to official events such as the Congres opening in Clare and closing mass at Grand Pré. "We're expecting about 250,000 people to participate in the events," Mr. Surette said, following a meeting of about 100 organizers in Halifax. Relatives of families such as the LeBlancs, Deveaus, Richards and Belliveaus, are expected to come from as far away as Louisiana and France. The 16-day event in August 2004 is also expected to attract visitors from Quebec, the other Atlantic provinces, the rest of Canada and the U.S., and other regions of Europe. "This is a worldwide reunion of all Acadians and friends of Acadians," Mr. Surette said. The Congres mondial acadien 2004 also coincides with the 400th anniversary of the deportation of Acadians from Grand Pré, he said. Acadian conferences were held in New Brunswick in 1994 and Louisiana in 1999. The budget for 2004 is $7.5 million, half of which will come from the provincial and federal governments and half of which will be raised through private sponsorship. "We are hoping the Congres has a lasting economic spinoff, in tourism, education and economic development," said Mr. Surette, who is also president and CEO of the College de l'Acadie. Many of the people who come to Nova Scotia's Acadian communities in 2004 have strong genealogy interests and will be seeking information about their ancestors, he said. Organization committees have already published and distributed more than 150 Family Reunion Manuals. About 600 people are involved in the project and 35 Acadian family associations have been organized. On Saturday, the associations discussed a framework for working together as a larger, permanent group. While the Congres is still over two years away, promotion is in full swing. Brochures and a CD-ROM have been created and are being distributed to target markets. As well, Acadian musical groups Blou and Grand Dérangement have been on tour in Europe and the U.S., helping to promote the event.

Cyndi's List - Acadian, Cajun & Creole http://www.cyndislist.com/acadian.htm

Hi, I am researching Gustave Abribat Sr. (b-1818 Gironde, France- 1894 Lockport, LA) and his line. He married Charlotte Falgout and ran a large merchandise store in Lockport. He owned a plantation on Bayou Lafourche (Valentine Field). His son Gustave Abribat Jr. was the mayor of Lockport from 1900 -1906 and was married to Josephine LeBlanc. The home they built on Barataria St. in Lockport is one of the city's oldest. Their children were: Zoemie, Josephine, Joseph, Gaston, Louis, Alice, Victoire, Marc, Philomene Orga, Stella, Carmen and Inez. I have been trying to discover how Gustave Jr. died in 1906 while mayor of Lockport. Therese Comeaux Lambert

I am working on the Plaisance (Plasencia) line, the St. Pierre (Jean) line, the Williams line (William Riley), and several others. Any information would be appreciated. I will gladly return same. I have nearly 3000 names and have traced my son through his mother (viator, st. pierre, williams, etc) back to Adam and Eve, although I have not been able to completely verify this information. It appears there are at least 140 plus generations from him to Adam. The difficulty seems to be with ancestors of Charlemagne. It would seem this information would be accurate, but there are many, many discrepancies. Mark Plaisance Plais77@aol.com

Hi, I'm working on my ancestors who owned several sugarcane plantations along Bayou Lafourche. The plantation names were Melodia, Bush Grove, Upper Ten, Rousseau and maybe Valentine. Yves Cyprien Rousseau (Rouxeau) married Anne Thibodeaux in 1781 in Nantes, France. They immigrated to south Louisiana around 1787. They had 4 children that I know of: Nicholas Yves bn. 1786; Hyacinthe Thimothe bn. 1787 married Rosalie DeL'Aunne in 1809; Joseph Marie bn. 1789 married Eulalie LeBlanc in 1809; Anne Margarite b. 1793 married Francois Gros in 1814. My line is from Hyacinthe and Rosalie. Hyacinthe fought in the War of 1812. One of their children was Pierre Joseph Rousseau bn. 1822. Pierre married Marie Theonise Macias (descendant from the Canary Islanders) in 1853. Marie Theonise's father was Francois Macias and her mother was Marie Leo Cadie Vicknair. Pierre and Marie Theonise were supposed to have been well-known planters of the times, however they fell into bad financial straights around the time of the Civil War and evidentialy lost most everything. One of their children - Etienne Rousseau bn. 1859 married Clara Duffy in 1903. Clara Duffy's father was Nicholas Duffy who fought in the Civil War and was in the Siege of Vicksburg. So the sir names I am most interested in are: Rousseau, Thibodeaux, DeL'Aunne, Vicknair, Duffy and Macias.

Phoebe Rose MARTIN married Carlos Henry DESCHOUTEN 24 Jan 1925(Thib, La Ct Hse Mar. 1925 # 24). Phoebe was the daughter of Joseph Forest MARTIN and Eliza ROGER of Bourg, La and Carlos the son of William DESCHOUTEN and Rosa HENRYGENO of Paris, France, I am searching for possible children of this marriage and where they might have gone to live after the marriage. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello there, How do I unsubscribe to this list? JO

Thank you for replying. At first we thought he was the correct Ernest then we went to St. Philomene Church and looked up my grandfather's death and found that his father Ernest was married to a Mathilde Thibodeaux. I even considered that maybe Mathilde may be a middle name, but Ursinee has a different middle name?? So it seems that they are not the right couple. I have not proved they were. Thank you for all your help. Medora Himel Hebert
