The 1708 "Indian Censuses." includes the Amerindiens & metis living near
Port Royal and other Acadian settlements and all people living on the
east coast.

The 1686 & 1708 census show the Lejeune like my Guidrys (and related
Boutins & Petitpas) were not Grand Pre farmers. They stayed or returned
to the East Coast. Pierre, Martin are on/at Le Heve (below Halifax) in
1708. Listed next to Martin is Jean Godet & his wife Jeanne Briart who's
first husband was Francois Joseph Amerindien. This family used Joseph
dit Lejeune & had two metis daughters Edmee (Aimee) & Catherine DGFA p
876 with the same first names at the two Lejeune women with unknow
parents listed on p 1048 confusing isn't it.

These people fished; were coastal pilots; suppliers of food & water to
all nations fishermen. They hunted & traded with the Micmac.

La Heve was one of the earliest settlements that the people left when a
governor call all Europeans to come live at Port Royal. What year please?
