- Birth Notes
- In 1765, Etienne Francois, duc de Choiseul Stainville settled some 78 families of Acadians on Belle-Isle-en-Mer. Due to livestock epidemics, crop failure, drought, and local resistance the colony failed in 7 years and many Acadians moved back to St. Malo and Morlaix. Some moved down to Nantes. Still, a few stayed on and there are people today at the island with Acadian lineages.
One of the most notable events of this settlement was the set of declarations. Brittany had them record their origin from France. The pastors took down declarations whereby Acadians recorded their genealogy and history. The declarations have been published in the Reiders' The Acadians in France, V. II.
