This website, hosted by south LA
genealogist/historian Tim Hébert, is full of information on the Acadians
& Cajuns. As of August 2010, it has a new look & added
features that make it only better. (Sadly, Tim died in May 2012,
but his website is still on line.) |
|
| <acadian-home.org> |
This website, hosted by New England genealogist-extraordinaire Lucie LeBlanc Consentino, is full of information, much of
it primary source material, on every aspect of Acadian history &
culture. Allow yourself hours to do justice to this superb
site--it is, in this author's opinion, the finest website devoted to
Acadian history/genealogy on the Internet today. An especially welcome addition is a detailed chronology of Le
Grand Dérangement by Paul Delaney. |
|
| Acadian Memorial |
Located in downtown St. Martinville, LA, on
the banks of the Bayou Teche, down the street from the famous Evangeline
Oak, the Acadian Memorial is both a museum & a research
center. The Robert Dafford Mural is the highlight of the museum on
the first floor. Also there, on the opposite wall from the mural,
is the famous Wall of Names, bronze tablets that list nearly every Acadian who found refuge in LA from 1764-1813. Upstairs is
the research center where visitors can trace their Acadian ancestry in
the Memorial's extensive database. The Memorial's website is <acadianmemorial.org>.
A prominent feature of the website is its Ensemble Encore, which includes two
important essays by Dr. Carl A. Brasseaux at <acadianmemorial.org/english/ensembleencoreset.html>.
Ensemble Encore also includes a growing & superbly-documented
database on Acadian immigrants called Life Lines, which includes not
only the first generation of Acadian immigrants but many of their
children as well. |

Roots |
This is the website of my cousin Aline CORMIER of Moncton,
NB. It includes, among other things, a copy of English Captain Nicholls's
published account
of the sinking of his ship Duke William & a sister ship,
Violet, in the North Atlantic in Dec 1758 while deporting
Acadians from Île St.-Jean to St.-Malo--one of the worst tragedies of
Le Grand Dérangement. |

that will appear in the next installment of his magisterial Dictionnaire

standard genealogy of the Acadian people. As the title reveals, like
Arsenault's genealogy, it is in French, but it is easy to follow.
Like anything from the hand of Stephen A. White, it is a most reliable
source based on solid scholarship & exhaustive research. DGFA-2,
still in production, will cover Acadian marriages from 1715-80.
