1671 Acadian Census

Here is a transcription of the first Acadian census. If you have been using the transcription from LeBlanc's book, The Acadian Miracle, you should be aware that there are errors and omissions. This transcription should be more accurate.

I also have a graphic copy of the Original 1671 census at this website.
