Dictionnaire généalogique des familles acadiennes;

[ by Stephen A. White ]

The Dictionnaire généalogique des familles acadiennes is a well documented work on Acadian genealogy that is firmly grounded upon the primary sources of information, while containing references to the best secondary sources. The first part of the Dictionnaire includes all the information available concerning those families who came into being before 1715. This information comes from the registers of more than 320 parishes, from the registries of more than 125 notaries, and from some 130 censuses or other lists of the residents of, and subsequently the exiles from, Acadia. Those who are interested in the subject will find in the Dictionnaire more than 700 notes that explain the reasoning that supports the author's conclusions.
