> I am interested in finding literature regarding the Acadian Coast. Can anyone guide me to find this? I am in search of information on my ancestors who supposedly came to Louisiana before the 1800's.

> Stout/Stutes was the last name. Namely information on Michel Stout, Peter Stout or Pierre Stout. I know factually that Pierre Stout married Amelia Hoffpauir in the year of 1796 in Opelousas; and Michel Stout married Maria Juliana Prudhomme in the year of 1787 in Opelousas, as told by S.W. LA. Records. They are both supposed to be sons of Michel/Pierre and Elizabeth/Isabel Stouts. I cannot locate any information prior to their marriages or documentation from the S.W. LA. Records. I have only been able to acquire information after the 1800's.

> There is a statement in S.W. LA. Records as quoted:
> Stout, Pierre dit Pitre inhabitant of LaQue Tortue in this parish, originally from Pennsylvania or from Natches (Michel and Elizabeth Allemans - from Europe)---.
> Another entry quoted:
> Stout, Pierre dit Pitre of Bayou Que Tortue of Pennsylvania (Michel and Elizabeth ---) Germans from Europe married ---.

> I know where Bayou Que Tortue is, I live about a mile away. I cannot locate any information in regards to Pennsylvania, atleast not by the names I have. As for Natches, any literature I can research from? Assumably they lived on or moved along the Natches upon their coming to Louisiana. And the statement that they are German well, Germans are very common in my location. But literature I do not locate in regards to their coming to here. And as for the last name of Alleman, didn't someone once say something regarding an area in Louisiana named the Allemands. What literature can I research on this?
>
> I have stumbled across someone's entries regarding the father of these two men, Michel/Peter. And also his father being Daniel Gottfried Stout from Germany. But no response has been received from this individual as to where this information was acquired or where I can go to find it for myself.

> I'm sorry for being lengthy. I am at my wits end, any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
> Thanks,
