https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ouracadianroots

We are still working on how they will interrelate

Let us do a rollcall for about a week

When it is over let us take a look to see if anything new on your old brickwalls.
After that your new brickwalls
After that general requests for additional info on our ancestors

==============

(Please Bcc (Blind carbon copy) me - ple...@aim.com to make sure your posts go through)

Now that we are up could we do a roll call?
(also email me personally with suggestions for the Group - ple...@aim.com)

Please start a new chain with the subject line your name

Answer questions like this

Who are you?

Where you are?

When were your families first & last in one of our homelands?
(homeland -historic or where most of the neighbors are related to you)

What other families are you researching? What Period?

Any other Genealogical projects you are working on?

Have you done your DNA, which ones, which DNA groups do you belong to?

What else would you like us to know?

What family associations do you belong to?

Do you have a blog, website or online database you would like to share?

Any unique resources you will do lookups?

Hold your brick walls we will try & work them after the roll call

Hi Paul,

I could do the rollcall on the Acadian site, but not the Louisiana site. It wouldn't accept the link as a recipient on email?

Thanks. Sue

Hi Cousins!!

Re roll call: Please start a new chain with the subject line your name

Who are you?

My name is Leslie LeBrun Johnson

Where you are?

Currently live in FL; my father's family all were born in Lowell,MA then my father's direct line migrated to Boston area, MA then south to Stoughton, MA. We are all over the place now.

When were your families first & last in one of our homelands?

My tree shows they came in the 1600s

My father's direct line is as follows:

10. my father, James LeBrun, n. 1928 d. 1993

9. Omer A LeBrun, n. 1887, USA - Gertrude Melzar, n. 1894, USA<-- first generation of American Acadien marrying non-Acadienne

The rest upline from Quebec:

8. Joseph George LeBrun, n. 1857 - Elise Dejadon (Desjadon), n. 1862

7. Francois LeBrun, n. 1813 - Francoise Paquette, n. 1808 <-- the last in the homelands, lived in the USA but I believe they may have gone back. No proof, yet; Most of their children stayed in Lowell, MA

6. Francois Bonaventure Forest, n. 1768 - Genevieve LaForest , n. 1765

5. Bonaventure Le Brun, n. 1745- Marie Louise Couturier, n. 1748

4. Jean Baptiste Brun, n. 1715 - Marguerite Godet (Gaudet), n. 1721

3. Antoine Brun, n. 1685 - Francoise Comeau (Commeaux) n. ~1692

2. Sebastien Brun, n. ~1655 Port Royal - Huguette Bourg n. ~1657, Port Royal

1. Vincent Brun, n. ~1611 in France, died in Port Royal - Renee Breau (Breaux) <-- on the list of the Acadian founders, I believe

(homeland -historic or where most of the neighbors are related to you)

Nova Scotia, Port Royal.

What other families are you researching? What Period? I'm looking up the grandmothers' lines and also on my mother's side, a mix of Quakers from England, descendants of the Mayflower (Brewster, William, n. ~ 1566) and her mother's mother's line appears to be of the English that settled in Nova Scotia after the Acadian expulsion. Still researching.

Any other Genealogical projects you are working on?

I'm looking for the Metis factor in my father's line. I see it on my mother's side, but haven't yet found it on my father's. Other than my father's side is my father's mother's side and also my mother's lines, occasional help to some others as they come up.

Have you done your DNA, which ones, which DNA groups do you belong to?

Yes, I did the DNA through Ancestry.

GEDMatch.com Kit #A714879

FamilyTree DNA, Acadian-Amerindian group/French Heritage DNA - https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/acadian-amerindian/about

Kit No.

B323043

and of course, these email groups here

What else would you like us to know?

So much to learn! Just one major brick wall at the moment - to be shared at a later time as you requested below

What family associations do you belong to?

None at the moment; wasn't aware of too many involving the Acadian side of the family.

My mother's family line sees from the Mayflower era to the Revolutionary War, to War of 1812, the War Between the States (Union), the Indian Wars of the 1800s, the Spanish-American War; her father's direct line are the Quakers who went to MD/NC and then went en masse to the midwest: Iowa, Indiana, etc.

Haven't decided whether to be a DAR or anything like that yet.

Do you have a blog, website or online database you would like to share?

I do not, at this time. I have an OLD Gedcom uploaded here: https://familyhistoriantree.tribalpages.com/ Would need the password for family to see it, though.

Any unique resources you will do lookups?

I don't know if what I use is unique to others, there are so many. I have an HUGE list of sites that I visit, but I don't know if you have them or not. I'll need to put them in a list other than in my bookmarks.

Hold your brick walls we will try & work them after the roll call

Thank you, Paul, for keeping the membership together. It's hard to do and I appreciate yours and everyone's efforts to create and maintain online venues where we may connect and share what we know about our ancestors.

Roll Call: I'm Marie Rundquist. I have Acadian lines on my mother's side on her maternal line. I'm researching a Quebec lineage of a Guinel-Dinelle ancestor out of the Magdalen Islands (in Canada), also on my mother's maternal line. We had a J.B. Guinel-Dinelle marry into one of my mother's Acadian lines in Louisiana several generations ago and I've visited the cemetery where he and his wife, my ancestors, are buried along with their descendants. The Guinel-Dinelle family appears to have a lot of tentacles that reach out into the US and Canada (and into my family genealogy and DNA connections). I'm also working on my mother's non-Acadian paternal line.

There are numerous mysteries that are still out there on all of my lineages. I don't know when I'll be able to say I'm finished researching. I don't know if that is possible. I've learned recently about a new, non-Acadian line on my father's side (through autosomal and Y DNA test results) and have enjoyed researching new family connections I've learned about that way. I've been helping a lot of people over the years research their own Y, mtDNA results, and autosomal DNA results, make connections, and overcome brick walls through several Family Tree DNA projects which I also have a role in managing. I think we all do this.

I also write books and articles and give talks and have enjoyed all of the relationships I've developed through those avenues as well.

Thanks.

to Our Acadian Roots

Who are you?
Hello
My name is Calvin Leger

Where you are?
I was born in Lafayette Louisiana and have lived in Scott, Louisiana for 34 years

When were your families first & last in one of our homelands?

They were in Canada in the early 1600's. I think that most were deported in 1755 or so

The Leger's were deported to The LaRochelle France area then in 1785 sent to Louisiana.

(homeland -historic or where most of the neighbors are related to you)

I have the Leger's who lived in Quebec
LaBauve who lived in Annapolis Valley and I think later possibly the Bras D'Or area in Cape Brenton and Louisburg
The Simard/ Simar. Semar who are pioneers of Baie St. Paul as well as the Tremblay and Gagnon
The Hanks are anybody's guess anywhere from Germany to Gloucester England. (work in progress)

What other families are you researching? What Period?

Amynthe Daigle , daughter of Joseph and grand daughter of Theodule founders of Churchpoint, Louisiana
Barge Bajolet is my oldest known MTDNA ancestor

Any other Genealogical projects you are working on?

The Leger's are pretty much nailed down
The LaBauve (my fathers mother) are pretty clear after they arrived in THE NEW WORLD. Continue to try to figure out the France connection.
The Hanks, I think we have the lineage close except there must be an NPE

Have you done your DNA, which ones, which DNA groups do you belong to?

MTDNA X2B7
YDNA-I-M170

family finder

Ancestry

familytreeDNA

What else would you like us to know?

I am not a genealogist like the rest of you. This page looks like a who's who of genealogy.
I am a hobbyist at best always looking to learn more.
I love the history and the culture
I am one of the appointed Commissioners for the Bayou Vermilion District (BVD) in Lafayette Louisiana
We manage and operate Vermilion the ACADIAN LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM
So if you have any ideas of how we could include genealogy resources or anything into Vermilionville I'd love to hear your ideas
I have been invited to participate in the Acadian Memorial Festival on March 21 in St. Martinville
My wife and I will dress in 1785 period clothing and will represent the Leger's coming to Louisiana

I went to Canada in 2018
We visited Nova Scotia (Grand Pre)
New Brunswick, Old Quebec City and Bae St Paul
Since that visit I do everything that I can every day to make my home, my city and my state more like our homelands.
I think that we in Louisiana need to connect more with our Acadian roots
I feel that much of our culture, language and history is being lost every day.

I work every day to try to promote and bring economic resources and culture to the Vermilion River area, Atchafalaya Basin and all of south Louisiana

I can be reached at (I hope this is legal)

I am Martin Guidry from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I grew up in south Louisiana where I graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette, LA in 1970. I became interested in genealogy when I noticed a book entitled the "Acadian Miracle" by Dudley LeBlanc - a well-known, local politician and Acadian historian. It was then that I learned that I am Acadian and what an Acadian was. Since that day in May 1970, I have studied Acadian history and the genealogy of our Guidry. For the last 20 years I have served as President of the Les Guedry et Petitpas d'Asteur (the Guedry and Petitpas family association) where I help publish our family journal and organize family reunions throughout the U. S. and Canada. I am a Board Member and past-President of the Acadian Memorial of St. Martinville, LA and a member of several other genealogical organizations. I also speak on various aspects of Acadian history and genealogy throughout the U. S. and Canada. My main surname interests are Guedry, Petitpas, Hebert, Semer, Breaux, Butaud and Clotiaux.

My ancestors are early french arrivers, fi de roi etc. Many have Metis Heritage, and I am So very Proud to be connected there. I do not know of any Acadian roots on our tree, but we have Deep very old southern roots on one side, and deep Very old French Canadian on the other, so nothing would surprise me. Mostly I am in Awe of what I learn here, and on the Metis page threads.

Give us 8 or so surnames especially any voyagers?

We will probably share more than two

There are so few Quebecois without some Acadian Lines.

There were refugees from before 1710 untill after the fall of Quebec

Hi Myra, we are cousins although many times removed. You may be interested in this excerpt from a book I have written.

The French lines of the Morison Family.

Richard and I embarked on a cruise of Eastern Canada and the Atlantic seaboard in the Fall of 2004. The ship sailed from Montreal with a 2 day stop in Quebec City before cruising on down the St. Lawrence river. We had the opportunity to book our shore excursions before we left home, which was then Vancouver, British Columbia. The “Evanageline Trail” (highway 101) was was one of the Nova Scotia options. I felt totally complled to take it, and I didn’t know why. I didn’t know anybody there and while I thought Acadian history might be interesting, I thought the other options such as Peggy’s Cove and Lunenburg might be equaly interesting, but I had to go on the Evangeline Trail. The clincher was the opportunity to see the Bay of Fundy and perhaps observe the fascinatingly extreme tidal changes in this large, shallow body of water. We boarded our Coach and left Halifax harbour in the morning. The journey took us out to the National Historic site of Grand Pre which is near Wolfville on the north shore across the Bay of Fundy from New Brunswick. Grand Pre means large or great meadow, and indeed it was. We also visited the interpretive centre and museum and the memorial Church of St. Charles-des-Mines. The presentations were totally fascinating and complete with a demonstration of how the Acadian people dycked, drained and desalinated the marshes which created several thousand acres of wonderfully fertile farm land. These enterprising people fashioned pipes made from the trunks of trees. They had a massive piping system with one way valves built into the pipes to make sure the salt water didn’t flood the drained acres at the turn of the tides. The Acadian desalination workers sold the salt they collected to their fellow Acadians, the fishermen for salting and preserving fish. This was back in the 1680’s. This remarkable feat was accomplished despite the fact that they had no machinery and all metal implements had to be shipped from France or New England.

There were books of Acadian genealogy for sale in the museum gift shop. I almost bought an $80 set, but managed to talk myself out of the purchase because I thought it made absolutely no sense for me to own it. Two years later my (our) cousin Patsy Morison Adams in England and her late husband Geoff alerted me to our Acadian family history. I was totally astonished and fascinated, to say the least. I also knew that something had been at work urging me to purchase the genealogies of part of my as yet unknown family.
The first Europeaan settlement in this part of the world (Acadia or Nova Scotia) originated in 1601. Grand Pre was not established until the 1680’s, but it quickly outgrew it’s predecessor, Port-Royal. The name Acadia seems to have originated with the Algonquin Indians. Acadia was named after a river of the same name. It means “place of plenty”.

Sources of information used in this section: Ancestry.com, The Genealogical Dictionary of Canadian Families by Tanguay, Acadian census records, the records collected by Steven White. Wikipedia. I have also used the Acadian genealogy site www.Landry.ca and the online Dictionary of Canadian Biography.

Our first ancestors in the New World were from France. The following is from a book I bought in Nova Scotia in 2011, called “Port-Royal Annapolis Royal 1605-1800”, by Brenda Dunn. Page 18 says, “For colonists, d’Aulnay drew on his family’s estates, in France, not far from La Rochelle. At least 20 Acadian family names of today, such as Belliveau, Blanchard, Bourg, Landry, Le Blanc, Terriot and Thibodeau, originated with people who moved to Port-Royal from the d’Aulnay family estates.” This was in the Province of Poitou in France.
Charles de Menou d’Aulnay (1604-1650) was a member of the French nobility. He was one of those who pioneered European settlement in North America. D’Aulnay was Governor of Acadia from 1635 to 1650.

Note: Ancesty.com says that all the Terriot and Thibodeau children were born in Port-Royal, Acadia. This does not make any sense because neither couple lived or worked in Port-Royal and women did not leave their own homes to give birth to their children in those days. I think that they brought their babies into Port-Royal to have them Christened and the Church records erroneously listed Port-Royal as the birth place.

Generation 1

Our first ancestors in Canada were Jean or Jehan Terriot and Perrine Beau or Bourg. Jean Terriot, was born in Martaize, Loudon, Vienne, France in 1601. He was a ploughman who became a landed farmer. Perrine was born in Martaize in 1611. Jean and Perrine were married in Martaize in 1635. They must have come to Acadia in about 1642-43. Perrine died in Port Royal in 1672. Jean followed his wife in death in 1686.

Generation 2

Children of Jean Terriot and Perrine Beau.
Claude Terriot, was born in France in about 1637. He married Marie Gautreau in 1661.

Jean Terriot, was born in France in 1639.

Bonaventure Terriot, was born in France in 1641. He married Jeanne Boudreau in 1666.

Jeanne Terriot, was their fourth child. She was born in Acadia (Nova Scotia) in 1643. Jeanne was our first ancestor to be born in Canada. She would have been born on the family farm, located on the Annapolis River on the north bank and upstream for about 17 kilometres from Port-Royal. The river was also called Riviere Dauphin in the census of 1701. Jeanne married Pierre Thibodeau.

Germain Terriot, was born on the family farm in Acadia in 1646. He married Andree Brun in 1668.

Catherine Terriot, was born on the family farm in Acadia in 1650. She married Pierre Guilbault in 1668.

Pierre Terriot, was born on the family farm in Acadia in 1654. He married Cecile Landry in 1668. He was only 14 years of age.

Note: The last 3 children all got married in 1668. Curious?

The Thibodeau family.

Mathurin Thibodoux was born in Poitiers, in the Province of Poitou, France in 1608. He married Marie Dolbeau in Isere, France in 1630. Isere is in the French Alps, near Grenoble. Their son Pierre was born in Marans, near La Rochelle, Poitou, France the next year. At the age of 23, Pierre sailed to Acadia, in what is now Nova Scotia, Canada on the ship Chateaufort in 1654. He was employed for a term of 3 years with a salary of 100 livres per year. (From the “Catalogue des Immigrants’ by Marcel Trudel). Pierre settled at La Pre-Ronde which also became know as “Village des Thibodeau”. This village was close to Port Royal which was later renamed Annapolis Royal by the English.
Pierre was a very enterprising man and full of ambition. He married a local girl Jeanne Terriot in Port Royal a few years after his arrival in the new world and they had at least 18 children together (hence the “Village des Thibodeau”).

“Pierre Thibodeau settled approximately 17 kilometres from the mouth of the Port-Royal river in a lovely spot called Pree-Ronde. There he built his house, his farm and his flour and grist mill. Pierre was undoubtedly properous but he had larger ambitions. On 20 June, 1695, Governor de Frontenac granted him on the Kennebec river (Maine), a seigniory two leagues deep (aprox. 6 miles) and a league (3 miles) on each bank of the Kennebec river along with the islands. At the age of 67, the enterprising Pierre Thibodeau decided to found a new community on the northern part of Baie Francaise (Fundy) called Chipoudie, now Hopewell Cape. He associated his sons and a few neighbours for this new foundation and had the necessary machinery for a flour and grist mill brought over from Boston. In addition to his occupations as a farmer and a miller, Pierre Thibodeau was also a merchant. He traded furs with the Indians. Pierre Thibodeau died at Pree-Ronde and was buried at Port-Royal on 27 Dec. 1704. His children settled at Port-Royal, Grand-Pre and Chipoudie.” The preceding was contributed by Fidele Theriault of Fredericton, New Brunswick to the Telegraph-Journal Newspaper of St. John, New Brunswick, and was published on Wed., 10 Aug. 1994.

When I read the above article, I thought that the river he was referring to was the Annapolis river. I was correct. The name of Pierre Thibodeau’s settlement has also changed. The village is now known as Round Hill. A monument with a plaque was erected at Round Hill Brook on 8 Nov. 1980 commerating the first settler in the area, Pierre Thibodeau. The Brook has also been known as Church Creek and Hill Creek over the centuries. Pierre’s mill would have been built on the creek so as to have a source of water power to turn the mill stone and grind various grains into flour or meal.

Pierre died on 26 Dec. 1704. He is buried at Port Royal (Annapolilis Royal), Nova Scotia, Canada.

Generation 3

Is this Thibodeau Family the same as the Thibodaux Family who settled in Terrebone parish, Louisiana?

Vicki Ann LeBlanc, AZ and WI here. I had done quite a bit of work some years ago on my family but never could find where my grandfather, Zowell Joseph LeBlanc, came into MN from Canada. I was told the family came from the Three Rivers area but haven't done any research for a long time. Just thought I'd throw that out for now and hope to become active in the next couple of months.

Did descendents of PIERRE THIBODEAU & JEANNE THERIOT settle in Terrebone, LA - yes

They Probably came from "Exile in France" to Louisiana on the 7 ships of 1785 (slim may have moved down bayou Lafourche)

Let's see what a quick scan can find.

Do you have his birthday? best guess of year?

Zowell may be his name for "les Americans"

Zoel?

Did he live in Duluth in the 1930s?

Thanks for the info. I have marked my tree 'not proven' for both of Pierre's parents. Thanks for the info AND the nudge. I need to be corrected often, and I never take offense. I KNOW I am an amateur in this!

Hi Myra,

I checked my DNA results for connections and I found 43 connections to HERRON families. They are all my 5th to 8th cousins and some of them have links to some of the other surnames in my family tree. Amazing!

I had to go through all of my files to find where I might have gotten the 'information' that the parents of Pierre Thibodeau were Mathurin Thibodeau and Marie Dolbeau. I found it finally. It is attached. I have this from other Thibaudeau people that I've communicated with over the years, but am not sure who sent this to me. But there is a letter also, so that will also be included here.
