This is vey interesting! I recently watched some of the Jean Luc Chasse videos and am now subscribed. I see he lives at Baie Vert NB. That is a 15 minute drive on the New Brunswick side to Aulac, NB. My 6th gg Jean-Baptiste (Jean Marc) Pitre and his family took refuge at Le Lac (near Fort Beausejour) in 1752 after leaving Cobiquid earlier. I had researched for the last few years and just finished a historical chronical on my Pitre Line. I have sent a message to Diane Doiron asking if it is possible to still purchase a pen. Thanks for your story!

I believe my Bourgeois were at Aulac...ancestral neighbors? Is your chronicle available to read?

Thank you for reading Acadiann!

As expected with Acadian descendants, I also have Bourgeois ancestors. Were all related. :) My trees are on Ancestry and a work in progress tree on Wikitree. I would be happy to send you a pdf copy of the chronicle. I'm just having fb friend Georges Arsenault review it first, to make sure it is historically accurate, especially regarding the Expulsion facts and history. The chronicle covers my direct paternal line from Port Royal To Bloomfield, PEI where my grandfather was born in 1874. There is a special focus on my 5th gg Jean-Baptiste Pitre as a very high percentage of Pitre/Peters on PEI descend from him and wife Marguerite Arseneau. Look forward to reading more Acadiann!

Would love to read the chronicle when it's ready! I've tried negotiating Ancestry but get hung up. Will look at the WikiTree -- that's so much easier. A la prochaine cousin, Ann
