GÉNÉALOGIE BREAU BOOK --- see below


   Although the proof of Acadian origins is sparse, some people thing that they have a connection to France with the BREAU family.  Maurice Caillebeau of Poitiers found a birth record of a Vincent BRO on 28 may 1629 in St-Jean de Sauves (near LaChaussee) in France.  Based on this, some people assumed that this Vincent and the Acadian Vincent were one and the same.  But Maurice later found a record dated 1675 where there is a Vincent and mother Marie Renaulme as witnesses to a marriage.

A BREAU GENEALOGY 

TMALSS (To Make A Long Story Short): This is the book you want to have if you are a descendant of  Vincent BRAULT the acadian who came to North America around 1650. This book is the combined efforts of  41 years of work: 26 years by Clarence BREAUX of Louisiana and 15 years by Robert BRAULT of Quebec who  have put the sum of their work together to publish the most comprehensive book on his descendants. 

WHAT: The book contains the first seven generations of descendants of Vincent BRAULT and their children,  so in fact you have the first eight generations. While Family Group Sheets are restricted to the male line (i.e.  those carrying the family name), all the known offspring (including women) in each family are identified with  their spouses and parents of spouses when known. The book is 430 pages long and the format is 8 ½ X 11  inches. 

WHO: Many variations of the family name are encountered: BRAU, BRAUD, BRAULT, BRAUX, BREAU,  BREAUD, BREAULT, BREAUX, BRO, BROD, BROT, BROUGH, BROW, BROWE, ...
