Bonjour Cousins, Below are several websites that have superb information on the Acadians - their history and their genealogy. With two exceptions these websites only cover the Acadian history and genealogy in Acadia (i.e., 1600's to 1760's). I hope you enjoy using some of these sites for your research or to just browse around.
