Please note: The family names in CAPITAL letters are the ones that ended up in Louisiana as a result of the Le Grand Derangement of the1750s (individuals with # next to their names settled in Louisiana). The source for these marriages is the standard work on Acadian genealogy, White, Dictionnaire Acadiennes, which is organized alphabetically by surname, so page numbers are not needed here; Arsenault, Genealogie, is used only as a supplement (indicated by *). Only the Acadian marriages in White are listed here. As you can see, settlement locations are not limited to peninsula Acadia but include all of Greater Acadia--present-day Nova Scotia, including Cape Breton Island (called Ile Royale by the French; but not including Louisbourg), Prince Edward Island (called Ile St.-Jean by the French), New Brunswick, Maine, the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec Province, & Plaisance, now Placentia, Newfoundland. This list has only just begun.
