Hello Gordon,

Many sources confirm that there is no proof of the link between Pierre and
the family from Burgundy, one of the latest is Stephen White, from his
dictionary of Acadian families. So for now I would consider him as an
orphan until such a proof would be discovered. Although, personally, I
would find it odd that a member of a noble family would drop everything and
come to Acadia as a copper. I am afraid it is wishful thinking from our
part. And his spelling from the first census being Commeaux, his lineage
could comeau from a Commeaux branch in France.

That being said, we never know!

Hi all,

I was just looking at the Comeau (and other spellings) website that was
posted last week on the list, and was interested to see that Pierre
Commeau, the Acadian immigrant from France, is now thought _not_ to be
related to the Guy de Commeau line, as has often been claimed. I didn't
realize this... is it generally accepted now that the lineage from
Pierre back to Guy is incorrect?

I don't want to propagate nonsense, so I'd like to correct my database
if this information has been found to be false (or at least, unproven).

Thanks.

cheers,

Gordon
