An Acadian Genealogy can be built quite fast because there are many dictionaries covering all Acadians. But, since about one third or half of records were lost, there are many holes and hypothesis. One result is there are many discrepencies between authors. |
Kinds of documents include:
| bms | all kind of vital records |
| m | marriage records only |
| rec | census |
| fam | families |
| not | notary records |
IMPORTANT: if you appreciate those pages, I would like your feedback to improve their style and to make them easier to read.
