"Acadian Awakenings" Series of Books by William Gerrior

If you are a Girouard/Gerrior/Giroir/Giroire/Gerrior et al, this series of books is a MUST for you! The five-volumes series of books contains a history of the prominent Girouard, Giroir (e) Girroir, Gerrior… family originating in France during the medieval period, up to and including the deportation from Acadie (1755-1783). Subsequent books follow them after exile in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Québec and Louisiana. The author, Bill Gerrior, uses and explains a unique genealogical system including a Master Chart. The genealogy system and much of the history presented in these books, are applicable and of interest to all Acadians. The French-Canadian Branches of Girouards are also presented in the first "Acadian Awakenings" book in France, as well as the Quebec Volume to follow.
