Acadian-Cajun Genealogy: Step by Step Chapter 7: RESEARCH: 1636 to 1754      "Why select the years '1636 to 1754'                 This could be termed the true Acadian period. The first permanent settlers of note began                  landing in Acadia in the 1630's. These French settlers inhabited the land called Acadia                  until 1755-1763, at which time they were expelled by the British. It is very difficult to                  get further back than these first settlers, though it can be done for a few cases."                  . . . . . . p.66 Acadian-Cajun Genealogy: Step by Step Louisiana "Cajun" Ancestry Acadian Ancestry Church Records Censuses Genealogical Books and Periodicals** Acadian-Cajun Genealogy: Step by Step Copyright 1993: USL Published by:   Center for Louisiana Studies                            P.O.
