Example:

LA VILLE ARCHANGEL - Sailed from France August 12, 1785 arriving in
Louisiana December 3, 1785. This ship left St-Malo, France and upon reacing
Balize, an outpost at the mouth of the Mississippi River, ran aground on
November 4. This, and the fact that they had already had run out of food,
caused a number of passengers to get sick. Finally the ship made it to New
Orleans on December 3, 1785. There were sixty families totalling two hundred
and ninety-nine people onboard. Fifteen people died and two deserted. Seven
marriages took place, eleven more adults joined the group and there were two
more births.

Fifty-three families totalling two hundred and seventy-on individuals went
to Bayou Des Écores which is located north of Baton Rouge near Thompson
Creek. One family of seven remained in New Orleans while another six
families totalling twenty-one people went to Lafourche. A decade later,
following a hurricane, man of the Bayou Des Écores families moved south
where other Acadian families had settled along Lafourche.
