Biography
My father got me started in genealogy, though sadly I never got to actually work on it with him. He and my cousin put together one of those huge sheets of 512+ people, all from Acadie and Quebec, and all done with no internet. It was almost completely correct. Now in my own retirement, I've taken up the hobby, er, obsession. His sheet helped me locate and complete all the ancestors and their families in his family on Wikitree. And then I had to learn more and began fixing other peoples profiles, and on and on. In the past couple of years I got absorbed with the Acadians and now am a project co-leader. I spend most of my time on profiles between 1600 and 1760. I feel as though I know many other Wikitree members, and appreciate the tips and help I've received from many.
In my free time I do a lot of hiking and make jewelry in Tucson, AZ where I live with my husband and two cats (who have not inherited this hobby but are intensely interested in food). The kids aren't too interested either, though I hope someday will pick their children's names from among the many beautiful French names in my tree.

nice article (in French) concerning Acadian history, lots of sources. https://lebloguedeguyperron.wordpress.com/2021/03/14/286-lexpedition-du-navire-le-saint-clement-pour-lacadie-en-1643/

Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!

Do you have an Gedmatch ID ?

Probably because of my Acadian roots. I have four riddles in my family tree and my DNA connects me to the vast majority of newcomers to Canada, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and Louisiana. Arsenault, Aucoin, Bélanger, Bernier, Bérubé, Blanchard, Bouchard, Boudrot, Caron, Chiasson, Cloutier, Comeau, Cormier, Coté, Doiron, Dubé, Dufour, Dugas, Fortin, Fournier, Gagné, Gagnon, Gamache, Gaudet, Girouard, Hébert, Houde, Lagassie, Mélanson, Mignier, Miville, Ouellet, pelletier, Racine, Saint-Pierre, Simard, Thériault, Thibault, Thibodaux, Tremblay, and so Detchevrry, Orsiny, Lafitte .
A real hell to study as the families are so mixed together, so impossible, it is not possible at this time to identify an MRCA. Patrice
1 - René LANDRY 1618-/1686 &1645 Perrine BOURG 1626-1693/ 2 - Jean Claude LANDRY 1605 & Marie Perrine BOURG 1600-1686 i don't know if this two branch are finaly the only same branch...
There is a Perrine Rau who has an Other last name of Bourg, she was born in 1611 married to Jean Theriot (Rau-71) if you'd like to check her out. I did not find a Jean Claude Landry born in 1605 in WikiTree. If you can provide more information about him, I'll see what I can do to find one. Best wishes - Cindy
Thank you for this information. The problem is about my four riddles in my family tree, i have no direct connection to Acadian Family, just a big cluster of genetic cousins who shared with me some different segments of chromosomes. This is the difficulty, these family are too mixed for finding an only MRCA isolated like i made with my english branch of PEDIGO/ELKINS (enigma 4) or WISE/DENMARK (enigma 3).
1799 - Bordeaux France - Jacques Tobie ( given name), abandonned child, my male line with Y chromosome R1b-CTS4188 from Pays Basque 1828 - Bordeaux France - Marc Anien (given name), abandonned child. My link is by this two abandonned child, so the link is broken and i have to find MRCA by crossing information from my genetic cousins Patrice
Thanks for all the work you accomplished during our Connect-A-Thon 2020. It is amazing how many more profiles were created and added to our Shared Tree. You have every right to be pleased with your efforts!
Kind regards,

One teeny tiny little thing to know is that the Acadian french women did not take their husbands last name. They kept their own throughout all the records. If you wish, you can put their spouses last name in Other last names, while their LNAB goes in the Current Last name.
Thank you for your contributions! Cindy
I noticed that you changed the birth location field on Anenontha-1. The Pays d’en Haut was claimed as part of New France, but was west of the settlement area along the Saint Lawrence River, and, as I understand it, not part of Canada itself. You can find more information on the associated Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pays_d%27en_Haut
So to correct it I should remove Canada, but would leave Nouvelle-France.
Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared (over 700!) made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

Have created the French version of Great Upheaval category, set to mirror, takes a bit of time for the program to implement, but once done people tagged with either language category will show up in both lists.
Meanwhile, taking a look at Category:Acadians, I noticed that it had among its parent categories Category:17th Century American Immigration. While many Acadians wound up in Louisiana, it somehow seems wrong to me to have Acadians under that category, since 17th century ... appears to deal with immigrants to what is now the USA only. What's the logic in this, do you know?
Danielle
There is already a sub-category of Acadians who wound up in Louisiana (Category:Acadian Immigrants to Louisiana). That one makes sense as sub of Category:Acadians.
Will let the people working on US immigration categories sort out anything else in their lines, there has been major reworking of migration categories last year, the dust hasn't settled yet. :-D And there do exist migration categories for us Frenchies already.
Please see https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/972804/looks-like-this-man-was-conflated-from-need-some-input-please as I don't know what is the best way to proceed on this, these are definitely 2 men, don't know the parentage on mine married to Marguerite Mirault
Danielle
Of possible interest to Acadian project: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pinel-65
This girl gets contracted in 1686 by the Compagnie de L'Acadie per my sources. Awaiting a reply from one source as to whether or not he has data on her departure for Acadie. Maybe you have other data on her.

As part of a revitalization effort for the France Project, we are checking-in with members to see if they are planning to remain active in the project and where their interests lie.
If you are planning to remain active, please click here to submit a short Member Interest Form to help us organize and coordinate collaboration.
If you have other obligations at the moment and would like to be removed from the project at this time, you will always be welcome to rejoin if you find yourself with more time and interest later.
We thank you for your contributions and hope that you are enjoying exploring your roots.
Please respond by commenting on my profile or sending a private message. I look forward to hearing from you.

re Pierre Boucher dit Desrosiers, Acadian project box would not belong on him. Isn't there a category for Grand-Pré, Acadie? That would be the appropriate handling of this to my mind, since he married there. He was not an Acadian at all from what I can tell.
Yes, Filles à marier are also all under project PPP. The Fille du roy in question, I forget which one she was, the only one I know of who went to Acadie. Both projects are managers on her.
Danielle
Just to let you know, ALL the Filles du roy are under PPP, by decision made about them quite some time ago. So no need to add reason for PPP on profiles.

Next time you want to do a sex change operation on me, let me know in advance. :D
Took out the wrong category and added some contract data from this side of the equation on there.
Since he actually came here first, you might consider adding the category Portuguese immigrants to Canada, Nouvelle-France (if it exists), but it's no big deal. He didn't stay here.
