Interesting but biased December 19, 1999
Ed Rogers (RAF Mildenhall, UK)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Senator Dudley is a long revered figure in the study of Acadian/Cajun genealogy and this book is a must if you are interested in or having Acadian/Cajun roots like me. It is interesting to have a book which describes the activities of a group of one's ancestors. I even have connections to the Leblanc line like many others and am one of the author's many distant cousins. However, Leblanc has strong feelings about the subject of the Deportation so if you are looking for a decent history of the events of this time, this book is not to be taken literally. The British point of view is not given any form of objective treatment. It also is dated naturally enough and has errors in it, some not the author's fault. One concerned my Roger line which descends from the Caissy/Caissie/Quessy line which he didn't know about. Overall, not a bad deal for the price, but be prepared to receive a less than pristine copy since it has been out of print for many years.
Dry but essential. August 23, 1999

This book is essentially a reference book and by definition is dry. However, it is essential reading for those of Acadian descent who are interested in their own "roots", and wonder what prompted Longfellow to write of "Evangeline". You may find your own surname has been changed over the years in an attempt by either the French or English to ignore what occurred in the late 1700s. I now know why my mother hated "les anglais"; and rightfully so.
