The Acadians were French settlers
of eastern Canada who were exiled
from their land in the 1750s.
The Cajuns are their descendants 
who settled in Louisiana.
Today, thousands of Acadian-Cajun 
descendants cherish their rich 
legacy of history, culture, & genealogy.

 Finally - the new edition of Acadian-Cajun Genealogy: Step by Step is now available
The publisher decided that the book was more suited for internet distribution, so it is now available online (link). After several printings, the original edition sold out. It has been found from time to time for up to $100 at used book stores. The new edition incorporates the advances made in Acadian-Cajun genealogical research since the first printing in 1993. I'm working on make a Kindle version as well.

If you'd like a copy of the Ile St. Jean Acadian records, the Acadian-Cajun Atlas, or the Hebert Databook , they are now available from CafePress. Any proceeds will go to support Acadian heritage efforts.

Site Changes in 2009

   - flash maps (zoomable) throughout the site
   - links at the top of pages to convert the text (using Google) to French
   - all web addresses on the links page have been checked for accuracy; for sites that have disappeared, I have tried to find archived version to link to
   - the genealogy for the first 7 generations of most Acadian progenitors; the genealogoy for some of the surnames are over 500 pages in length
 COMING SOON   - I'm working on an interactive database of the genealogy for most Acadian progenitors from the time they arrived in Acadia to about the year 1800
