I first became interested in genealogy in 1979. I soon obtained a completed genealogy of my LANDRY ancestors when I contacted Societe historique Nicolas-Denys, a historical Society based in Northern New Brunswick. A number of years passed and around the time desktop computers started to appear I found the internet and Yvon CYR's website. From then on I have slowly learned more and more about the LANDRYs and Acadians in general. Through internet mailing lists and the LANDRYFAMILY website I met many helpful people and in return tried to help others looking for their LANDRY roots. Suffice it to say I am a descendant of Rene Le juine. My most direct ancestor is Alexis LANDRY one of the co-founders of Caraquet,New Brunswick; one of the many Acadians that avoided deportation in 1755. My most recent interest is in archaeological digs at Beaubassin ( an Acadian village located on the Fort Lawrence Ridge in what is now Nova Scotia,Canada. ) My interest is based on the fact that Alexis lived there with his family up until the French burned the village in 1750 to force the Acadians living there to move across the Missaguash River into what is now New Brunswick. I have just recently obtained archaeological reports from Parks Canada which outline a number of areas in the Chignecto area ( the isthmus between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick ) that were researched in 1968 and later. I am more or less the family historian and I hope to pass my research on to my descendants. I would be glad to hear from anyone with questions regarding the above. Don Landry Ottawa,Ontario Canada
