This is why I stress the need to study History when doing Genealogy
research. Normally when the record shows France for those who arrived
from France in 1785 it is because they were born in France between
1755-1785! Also, some will show England because [sorry to confuse even
more!] some were sent to England in 1755 and stayed there until 1763
when those who survived were sent to England. Some married in England
and some had children born in England.

Hey you guys,

This kinda seems confusing to me. The Acadians were of French descent,
originally from France. Then, they move in Acadia, settle and live there
for
120 years or so, then they're kicked out of their country, and shipped
all
over the place, including back to their original France. Then, the ones
in
France came here to Louisiana. Now, the records here state these people
as
being from France. But with them all being French, it's hard to tell
from
here which were of Acadian descent and which were not. Unless you are
familliar with ALL the Acadian names, and even so, these first Acadians
most
likely had families left behind in France when they crossed over, which
would
mean that some, if not all, of these names had family branches that
never
left France at all. Which also means that those who appear to be Acadian
may
not be Acadian at all, just French.

I was having alot of trouble with this Molaison / Doiron family, trying
to
figure out if these people were Acadian or not. I knew that Doiron was
an
Acadian name, but I somehow didn't remember seeing Molaison amoung the
names.
At any rate, because they went back to France instead of here, I was
having
trouble connecting these people to the Acadians. I want to thank those
of you
who helped me with them. You have been a big help, and helped me find my

link. Thanks :-)
