SETTLEMENTS AND SETTLERS: SOME ACADIAN PIONEERS From Lives of Quiet Desperation by Gary M. Lavergne Note: The following information is found in Appendix B of Carl Brasseux's The Founding of New Acadia. The appendix found in The Founding of New Acadia has been edited here to include only those names relevant to this genealogy. Brasseux's work is the definitive work on the history of the Acadian people; one of a very few accurate historical studies of the Grand Derangement.
