Most of the Acadian church records have been
transcribed and published. Only one set of records has never before
been published ... the Port LaJoye, Ile St. Jean records. While the
records go back to the 1720s, the 1750s are most important because of the
great influx of Acadians escaping from the English. This volume includes
those records from 1749 to 1758 (I may do the earlier records
at a later date). You will also receive the web location for
a page that will contain corrections and will allow you to post questions
& answers on the records.

On August 5, 1999, a Genealogical
Symposium was held at Nicholls State University. Based on
the Acadian-Cajun people, it covered a variety of subjects, including resources,
Acadians in Nantes, genetics, the Dictionnaire,
and Acadians in Texas.
It comes in a hard case and includes a copy of the program for the symposium. NOTE: I've also added Mr. White's presentation of the 1st Acadian in Louisiana to the tape. Cost: $15 (+$5 S/H) Go to Order Blank |
Symposium: 8/5/99
Speakers: • Gerald Braud • Carl Brasseaux • John Doucet • Stephen White • Father Donald Hebert St. Martinville:

I've created a display parchment with a short
history of an Acadian family. There are color graphics of Acadian-Cajun
images bordering both sides of the text. The parchment is 11x17"
and is printed on quality art paper.
Families available (more to come) at this time are: Boudrot, Hébert, Landry, LeBlanc, Thibodeaux It is mailed in a protective tube. To read the text of one of the parchments, click on the image to go to La Famille Hébert Acadienne. Cost: $16 (+$4 S/H) Go to Order Blank |

In 1785, seven ships brought 1600 Acadians
to Louisiana. Copies of the actual ship manifests are available.
Some ship lists are only one page long, while some are longer (up to 22
pages).
These make great items for framing and display ... a copy of your ancestor's listing on the ship that brought them to Louisiana. Don't know what ship they were on? Check the online ship lists.

I am working on a series of fascimile copies
of some of the best maps of Acadia, France, and Louisiana. Some of
the originals of these maps would sell for hundreds of dollars.
This allows you to purchase low-cost copies so you can see the locations inhabited by your ancestors. Cost: See

Everything about the first 150 years of Héberts
... this book is the printed version of the website. Since many people
aren't online, and others prefer to look at information in printed form,
I put the complete Hébert Family Website into a book.
It contains everything about the Acadian Héberts of the 17th and 18th century, as well as additional info on Hébert who came to Louisiana. Besides raw data, it contains a constructed genealogy of the 1st 6 generations in both Etienne & Antoine's lines. Plus, I have included all my notes on the sources and references of the 1st 6 generations of Héberts. Cost: $40 (+$4 S/H) Go to Order Blank |

There are many good 'How-To' books on genealogy.
But genealogy is a large field of study. Each nationality, culture, locality,
etc. has its own particular types of information and research methods.
Everyone knows of the recent popularity of things known as 'Cajun' ...
food, music, and so on. The Cajun people are a rather distinct culture
based in south Louisiana. And there are many 'displaced Cajuns' who have
moved into other parts of the country.
This book addresses the genealogy of the Cajun people in Louisiana. It also goes back, through the Exile of the mid 1700's, to the original Acadians in Canada. It will assist you in tracing your Acadian-Cajun ancestry back to the 1600's with as little trouble as possible. Note: Though I wrote the book, I don't sell it. I'll see if I can arrange something with the Center for LA Studies. Cost: $10 (+$3 S/H) Go to Order Blank |
