The 'French and Indian War' was not between the French and Indians. It was the French and their Indian allies fighting the British and their Indian allies.
@@RandyBoBandy9498 Good to hear from you. Technically the French and Indian War is a subordinate part of the Seven Years War and of course is confined to that part of the war in North America. The French and Indian War commenced prior to the onset of the wider Seven Years War. An aside: I always find it interesting and odd that Americans claim it was George Washington who sparked the Seven Years War (via the French and Indian War). Not so sure I would proud of that fact. Clearly there is either a lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of what was happening between France and Britain after the War of the Austrian Succession and the opening of the Seven Years War.
Since I was a little boy growing up on the coast of New Brunswick. My grandfather used to talk to us about this man. Our first ancestors who ever brave the Atlantic. His name was Jacque Bourgeois. The first and only surgeon in Acadie.
My grandparents : Malvina Boudreau and Alphonse Moyen. Searching down the Boudreau line at the Quebec Archives online led me to Port Royal and the first Boudreau married to an Aucoin! It was facinating !!! I thought I was french Canadian (on my fathers side) but soon discovered we are Acadian !!! what a joy.
@@mooners544 That is true in the more generic sense of the word 'French' Canadians but that is not how most Canadians us the term. French Canadians being those from Quebec and descended from same, versus the French speaking colonists and their descends from Acadia.
Interesting my grandmother was named Malvina Boudreau as well . She was married to a guy named Emmanuel La Croix however. Big families in the old days.
@@EdinburghFiveThat's because the Quebecois see themselves as pure wool and Acadians as burnt wood. A gift from the racist old days. I personally enjoy having a mixed heritage. Racial purity is for idiots because no one is pure.
Coincidentally i was researching the Guidry branch of my family when I stumbled upon your video and was in shock when you began speaking of the people I was researching at the time. Great video and much respect for the amount of time you have clearly spent putting together our family's story. Thank you!
That's always the best. The ancestors guided you to this video to let you know they are grateful you're finding them to tell their story so their legacy can live on!!!
I'm a descendant of Louis Hebert and Marie Rollet as well as the Martins and Morin families.Guillaume and Guillaumett Hebert and Coullinard.Im very proud of our history and it's people.⚜️💙
Just recently traced my ancestry back to Franćos Savoie and Margaret Boutin. Immigrated from France to Nova Scotia and now we are in Louisiana . Awesome video
Im tracing my ancestry now. I just learned my family left France and went to Nova Scotia then to Louisiana. Im so excited to learn more. I inherited an old store coin from that area that I'm going to look into. Its so interesting to see what led to me being here today. Some of us on this thread could be related!
Excellent video. Generally you are correct about the region that comprised Acadia with the exception that you need to also include the Gaspé region of Québec and Maine to the Kennebec River. The first time Acadia shows up on a map in not Verrazano's 1524 map. He labeled the region around Virginia as 'Arcadia'. One theory is that the 'Arcadia' label over time moved northeastward on maps, evidentially dropping the 'r' and was applied to the French colony. This idea was prompted by nineteenth-century historians, notably Ganong, who tended to ignore Indigenous people in their histories except in very subordinated and prereferral ways. The 'Arcadia" origins completely ignore the word 'acadie' or 'cadie' in the Mi'kmaq language. It was widely used to designate a place, for example Shubenacadie and Benacadie. This is the more likely origin of the name Acadia. Some tried to be as "neutral as they could", but a significant number supported the French with men & arms, and allied themselves with the French. They fought against the British in times of war and peace. Hundreds for example were caught at Fort Beauséjour.
I'm a direct descendant of Barnabé Martin. I do know the Acadians did not war with the Natives in the area. They lived and worked side by side with the Natives.
Which French because even in France there is not one standardized French? If you want to be true to your roots and you're an Acadian you're going to have to learn the langue d'oc not the attempts at langue d'oil I hear around Canada. France wasn't exactly France when we left it we were considered Occitan when we left.

Why was Daniel LeBlanc dispised ? My direct ancestor was Daniel LeBlanc, the 'Abraham' of all, Acadian LeBlancs. Recently claims have been made that he was born in France but on what evidence I don't know. Curiously, against all French tradition none of his sons or grandsons were given that name. Some believe he was the child of a Scot (William Alexander Jr or another) and a MicMac maiden, concieved when the Scot remained behind as a hostage while the local Port Royal native chief went to Scotland with other to meet with Sir William Alexander. As far as I know Daniel LeBlanc's name is absent from all records of both pre and 1649 passenger names lists. Seems there was a three generational shame with the name. Ain't it a mystery? Could all LeBlanc have a claim on the Alexander estate in Scotland ?

Hey @J. P. - No, it really wasn't. Verrazano used Arcadia for the region around Virginia. With time the name moved northeastward but it never was used for the region of what is today the Atlantic region of Canada. I believe it was William Francis Ganong who then used Arcadia as the origins of Acadia. This completely ignores the French settled their colony in the lands of the Mi'kmaq who used the term 'acadie' or 'cadie' in many place names. Ganong traces the movement of Arcadia on maps toward the northeast, I do not recall he demonstrated a solid link, but uses a bit of a leap of faith to connect the (European) dots to Acadia. European fisherman and fur traders became very familiar with the Mi'kmaq and their language, very quickly understanding Acadia had a meaning describing the place. Not too many of those fisherman and fur traders were likely familiar, given they were largely illiterate, with the word Arcadia let alone what it meant in Greek myths. Ganong comes from an era at the height of British imperialism. This was a period in Europe and North America which was highly racists in its views of the world. A society that more often than not ignored the contributions, achievements, and even the presence of the Indigenous people. These antiquarians translated the world around them in European terms.

Maine was part of Acadia too. Named after the province of Maine in France.

Amazing to learn my family is from Acadia after 64years.
We traced our ancestry back to Claude Petitpas when he left La Rochelle with Pierre and Samuel in the 1600’s. So cool to go back that far
