1671 Acadian Census
| Here
is a transcription of the first Acadian census. If you have been
using the transcription from LeBlanc's book, The Acadian Miracle,
you should be aware that there are errors and omissions. This transcription
should be more accurate.
Most of the entries are from Port Royal, though there are a few from other locations: The Habitation
of Poboncom near the Island of Touquet, Cap Neigre, and At Rivier aux
Rochelois.
I
also have a graphic copy of the Original 1671
census at this website.
Surnames are linked to the webpage with up to 6 generations of constructed genealogy. |
