The Genealogical Symposium was held in Peltier Auditorium at Nicholls State University from 9 am to 4 pm on August 5. It was sponsored by NSU, CMA, and the Lafourche Heritage Society. Ladies from the Society were dressed in Acadian costume to welcome and register the guests. Souvenir programs and pens were given out.

There were two rooms with book vendors, such as Father Hebert (seated at left) and Janet Jehn (in blue above).

Dr. John Doucet (right) speaks about genetic diseases more common among Acadian descendants. He also served as emcee for the day. He works at NSU.

Father Donald Hebert talks about Acadians in Texas (1840s - 1940s). He also spoke on a variety of topics related to Acadian-Cajun genealogy.

The First Acadian in Louisiana - St. Martinville

This gathering was held in a courtroom across the street from the Acadian Memorial. Stephen White, dressed as a French soldier circa 1750 (right), announced that he had found the first Acadian to move to Louisiana. Joseph DeGoutin DeVille (whose mother was a Thibodeaux, daughter of Pierre) moved to New Orleans about 1746. He also may have had a hand in encouraging the other Acadians to join him in the 1760s.
