Corrections	Corrections & Additions to Arseneault's Histoire et Généalogie des Acadiens, by Janet Jehn (rare, SGCF and Salle Gagnon in Montreal)
Review	Since only few Acadian records survived, many lines are hypothetical. Thus, there are many errors (other data were found later) and differences in regard of other Acadian genealogies. In many cases, the accurate date of the record is known, but Arsenault only gives the year of birth or marriage (mostly in volumes 2 and 3)
