LES ACADIENS AVANT 1755/THE ACADIANS BEFORE 1755

ACADIAN AWAKENINGS
By William (Bill) Geroir
Acadian Awakenings is a series of books containing five volumes.
The author has given a series of well received workshops on his Master Chart genealogy methodology used in this book, including a session at Grand Pré National Park during Acadian Days, 2001, as well as a follow up workshops at the West Pubnico Acadian Museum, for the families in the Pubnico region and also for a number of other Acadian families in the south, central and northern part of the province of Nova Scotia.
Bill was a member of the Board of Directors for the CMA 2004 in Nova Scotia, and has been very much interested in promoting the international links of all Acadian families, an objective which has been part of the mission statement of the World Congress of Acadians since its origin – i.e. to build international links for all Acadian families.

Jetté Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles du Québec.
Excellent genealogy resource for French Canadian ancestors who settled in Québec province.
The Mormon [LDS] research libraries are very good as long as you request records such as vitals, parish registers and census records for New Brunwick and Québec. Use of *contributed* Acadian data should be discouraged at this time as many errors exist in databases that researchers have contributed who based all of their research on Bona Arsenault's genealogy work. There are many errors in Bona's work and his work cannot be used without verifying with other sources to validate the information.
