Acadians in Gray

Using the Acadian Memorial's list of immigrants on its Wall of Names, area church records, local censuses, and other primary sources, I have documented the nearly 2,900 Acadians who came to Louisiana between 1764 and the early 1800s.  To get to the individual family pages where these Louisiana Acadians and their male descendants can be found, follow the TOC, or Table of Contents, link in the Contents frame to the left.  The best place to start, however, is the Introduction to these family pages, the link for which is just above TOC.  Having documented the male lines of 105 Louisiana Acadian families to 1840, I am pushing these lines--I call them the "begats"--to 1870.  At the same time, I am pushing to completion the Acadian/Cajun marriage study, which now includes over 14,500 marriages from 1765 through 1861--the unions that helped create the Cajun culture in the decades before the War Between the States---Steven A.

Also on this sight if you click on the Photo Gallery you can see pictures of tombstones of Civil War soldiers.  These are listed alphabetically, and if you click on the name it will give you info. on that person, sometimes the parents name and where born.
