The best site if you'd like a short tour through
the Acadian story. It is done by the Centre Acadien, Université
Sainte-Anne, Church Point, Nova Scotia, Canada.
This is one of the major Acadian sites. It
is done by Yvon Cyr, who directed the compilation of Acadian GEDCOM's on
a CD-ROM [information on the CD is available at the site]. It not only
has many links to Acadian material, but it contains a number of pages with
Acadian history and miscellaneous information.
Denis Beauregard is another major Acadian
site. While there are links, there is also a great amount of information
on Acadians and the French settlers of Quebec.
This is a very informative
page on the Acadian culture through the years. If you can read French (or
are willing to struggle through with a dictionary) be sure to visit.
