Using the Acadian Memorial's list of immigrants on its Wall of Names, area church records, local censuses, and other primary sources, I have documented the nearly 2,900 Acadians who came to Louisiana between 1764 and the early 1800s.  To get to the individual family pages where these Louisiana Acadians and their male descendants can be found, follow the TOC, or Table of Contents, link in the Contents frame to the left.  The best place to start, however, is the Introduction to these family pages, the link for which is just above TOC.  Having documented the male lines of 105 Louisiana Acadian families to 1840, I am pushing these lines--I call them the "begats"--through the War Between the States to 1870.  At the same time, I am pushing to completion the Acadian/Cajun marriage study, which now includes over 15,000 marriages from 1765 through 1861--the unions that helped create the Cajun culture in the decades before the war.  sac 

Help!  I need old phone books from the river communities of Baton Rouge, Port Allen, St. Gabriel, Plaquemine, Gonzales, Donaldsonville, Convent, even Edgard, for research on this website.  I'd prefer books from the 1990s, before cell phones became ubiquitous.  I need these books to analyze surname spellings, surname distributions, and the like.  Please contact me via email if you can help out.  I will gladly pay postage. sac 1-10-12
