Hi Ronald

Do you mean 1711 as found on this profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Martel-1028

Yes it is

Since he was Acadian and his grandparents were born in France, it was probably Michel.  You might find records spelled either way, though.  People had flexible attitudes about spelling back then.

Thanks

Need a bit more information. Do you have a profile for us to look at? What about location in the world? There are multiple Michel/Michael/Miguel Martels.
