The Acadians sent to Virginia spent the winter on the beach and and the survivors were then sent to England. No Acadians were in Virginia after about 1756. . Acadians did not willingly give up their children. The "Teenagers" were "sold" into indentured servitude. Families stayed in the English colonies after 1763 waiting for their children to be "freed". . Sorry, matching on a 12 means very little. Do a 65 that is near and you can then look for Acadian Ancestors. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
