RING OUT WILD BELLS

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ADVENT BLESSINGS

A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah 9:1-2, 5-6

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone.You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, As they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as men make merry when dividing spoils.For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests.They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, From David's throne, and over his kingdom, which he confirms and sustainsBy judgment and justice, both now and forever.

THE DEATH OF A HERO

Gilbert LaBauve's Journal

July 17, 1917



I am about recording the death of a hero, Gustave Labauve, Orderly Sergeant of a Company of the 18th regiment of Infantry commanded by Col. Armant of St James' Parish, participated in the battle of Mansfield, during the Confederate War.

The 18th regiment was ordered to charge a battery disployed behind a rail fence. As soon as the colonel received the order to charge the battery, he arose, leaving his regiment prone on the field. And, answering "The order to charge will be executed; but charging that battery is leading my men to death." whereupon he mounted his fiery steed, no sooner had he mounted, than a ball ended his military career. He fell dead; but the regiment made the charge nevertheless, and, in advancing at a double quick, the Standard bearer fell. No sooner had he been killed than Alexander Breaux of Fausse Pointe raised it high, telling the boys to follow their standard.

He had made only a few steps onward when he was killed, Leonce Ransonette also of Fausse Pointe, raised the color on high and advanced on toward the goal, but he also fell, mortally wounded.
Gustave Labauve, happened to be, the only officer of the company unscathed. All the others had either been wounded out of action, or killed; he, as follows, in such emergencies, would not allow the regimental color to trail in the dust. On picking it up, he raised it on high and called to the men to follow him on to victory; no sooner were these words uttered than he was perforated by a mines? ball. And, fall on the bloody field, covered with immortal glory.

He was my first cousin, Uncle Victor Labauve being his father. There was not a lazy bone in that boy, fear was an unknown quantity in him. He was always ready to do his part in everything. I knew the boy well, for we split boards together in the Fausse Pointe swamps on Bayou Crocodile that empties into Lake Pond. For nearly two months we were encamped near that bayou; I was then 15 years old, and Gustave was about two years older than myself.

The Company must have been the center of the regiment, as it was entrusted with the Regimental Color. The regiment got to the rail fence, anyhow.

All at once the battery which had been pouring grape shot and canister into the ranks of the 18th regiment ceased. firing, and the whole battery with its support of infantry, were captured as prisoners of war, but the Confederates who had flanked them by a circutious movement around them. They all surrendered, about 5000 men in all. To accomplish this Genl. Dick Taylor had sacrificed nearly one whole regiment. Gustave Labauve was every inch a man;

To prove his sense of honor, it is only necessary to relate about his furlough at his home at Fausse Pointe, for he was on furlough home at the time the yankees went up the Teche to Red River. His wife and wife's relatives begged him to remain home--that his furlough was not yet up. But nothing could prevail on him to remain home while his company would be exposed to the enemy's fire on the battlefield. So, eluding the yankee army by a flank movement, he left his home and arrived at the headquarters, just in time to enter into action.

OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION

In 1884 in Burnswick, Canada the Acadian people adopted "Our Lady Of The Assumption" as the patroness of the Acadian people' this was ratifed by Pope Pius X.

August 15 is celebrated as her feast day. The song "Ave Maria " was picked as the Acadian National Hymn.

A flag was adopted with the French tricolor to which a yellow star was added in the blue field. The star represents "Our Lady Of The Assumption."

Welcome to the ACADIAN mailing list!

Dear soon to be cousin,

Welcome to the Acadian List. This list is about all descendants of the original European settlers and their Amer-Indian cousins in the Maritime Provinces of present-day Canada and the nearby coast of Maine. Families of anyone who later married into these families is also researchable. All families of the diaspora of the Grand Derangement will be addressed in this forum. It is hoped that many new connections will be made and many presently known lineages extended and verified to their origins and to the present time.

Everyone is welcome. We are joined on a mutual journey. All that is asked is respect for others, especially to have the freedom to research any related person, location, or event by any genealogical or academic method they choose. This respect would also include adherence to the International Copyright Laws and the privatization of information as required by the statutes of Canada and the United States; that is for individuals born after 1900 in Quebec and 1930 in the United States or anyone still living. The data gathered is for personal use and is not to be gathered en masse for other purposes.

Looking forward to your participation.

CENSUS OF LOUISIANA, SEPT. 2, 1771


from Stanley LeBlanc
to acadian@rootsweb.com
date Jul 7, 2007 2:45 PM

Periodically, I've seen references to the Census of September 2, 1771, but couldn't find any lists.

The mystery has been solved. Governor O'Reilly ordered a census on September 14, 1769, but it wasn't completed until 1771 [this would explain some differences in ages between the 1766 and 1769 census]

The registers were compiled into a report dated September 2, 1771. This is a very interesting report because it shows that the Acadians represented a significant percentage of the total population.

The census is in the Annual Report of the American Historical Association
1945 in four volumes,
Volume II, Spain in the Mississippi Valley, 1765-1794,
Part I, The Revolutionary Period, 1765 - 1781, edited by Lawrence Kinnaird, p. 196.
I've created a pdf file that is linked from my Arrival of the Acadians page at the url below. The direct url is also provided.

HAPPY JULY 4TH!


This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine;
this is my home, the country where my heart is;
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine:
but other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

My country's skies are bluer than the ocean,
and sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine;
but other lands have sunlight too, and clover,
and skies are everywhere as blue as mine:
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations,
a song of peace for their land and for mine.

This is my prayer, O Lord of all earth's kingdoms,
thy kingdom come, on earth, thy will be done;
let Christ be lifted up 'til all shall serve him,
and hearts united, learn to live as one:
O hear my prayer, thou God of all the nations,
myself I give thee -- let thy will be done.

LABARRE AND LABAUVE

There should be no connection between LaBarre and LaBauve, unless you expect something through wedding.

LaBauve in fact comes from the French name de la Bauve which, as far as I have been informed, was probably a Feudal land named Bauve. The land lord was the Seigneur de la Bauve. When came the revolution, the de la Bauve would have left France and some dropped the "de" from their name and the la Bauve changed into LaBauve to escape the revolution attacks to the "Nobles"

In 1510, one of the de la Bauve was granted by the King for services to the crown, the land of Arifat and thus Nicolas de La bauve became Earl of Arifat. I am descendant of this branch whose elder son went to Mauritius and remained during the revolution.There are now a good lot of de LaBauve or de Labauve d'Arifat living in Mauritius.

On the other hand LaBarre which in France is also Labarre is a more common name as Labaume, Leroy, Dupont, Duval, Deschiens etc...

I am staying some days in Mauritius to prepare our move from Brazil.

All the best from Jean de Labauve d'Arifat

LABAUVE & LABARRE SAME SURNAMES?


I'm interested in finding out what the origins of LaBauve DNA might reveal as to the origins of Louis Noel Labauve.

Was he a Mi'kmaq, was he European?.

One of the more common names in the early Mi'kmaq-Maliseet records is the name Labauve and it's many variations.

As Mario recently posted, the names LaBarre and LaBauve seem to be the same name as well.

One way to solve part of the mystery around the origins of this family, is to have a LaBauve male take a Y-Chromosome DNA test.

The Y-Chromosome DNA test can only be taken by a male and costs about $99 US.

CEMETERY DESTRUCTION AGAIN!

Cemetery Destruction AGAIN!!!! HORRIBLE
Leslie Braddock - Mar 7, 2007 View Viewers

This is happening in Louisiana..it is a common practice for the Catholic Church to remove graves and "reuse" the spaces if no one claims them..it happened in the historic St. Martinville Church where my "Jean Charles LeBlanc" ancestor was burried according to records but his body is "missing". I guess they just "forgot" to move him when they moved the cemetery and made way for a parking lot! He is the Father of the current LeBlanc family that lives in Louisiana and is on the St. Martinville Wall of Ancestors of the Original Acadians. What is going on here is HORRIBLE and wrong on so many levels.And My "Jean Charles LeBlanc" is just one of HUNDREDS of "missing graves" at that church. We have to stop this practice..I dont know if any of you live in Louisiana but if you do ..please pass this on to anyone that you think might be able to help this or fight this issue.
Thanks,
Leslie Braddock

This is a notice to anyone who has ancestors who were part of the St. Nicholas Catholic Church near Patoutville/Lydia. There are many dozens of sites throughout, which are nothing more than a pile of broken bricks and mortar. Some are open so that the remains are visible.
Is this the way you would want your great-great grandmother to "rest in peace"?
Furthermore, a Finance Committee from the church has posted signs announcing that if these sites are not claimed by April 7, 2007, then repaired, the remains will be removed to another spot and the site cleared. The vast majority of these graves have markers. Some of the families represented areDubois, Dupuy, Gary, Guillot, Louviere, Hebert, etc.
A group of genealogy enthusiasts including some people who live out of state, called The Friends of the Historical St. Nicholas Cemetery are working together to find living descendants and notify them of the need to make a claim known to the church and then to do repairs immediately. Anyone in this organization who suspects he has an ancestor buried there can contact me, and we can help you to determine if this is a problem for you and your family.
My contact info is Julaine Deare Schexnayder, 337 365-7667, or julainehome@cox.net.
We have just completed the inventory of the entire cemetery. Unfortunately many tombs are unmarked. But we are willing to do lookups for any name you'd like. E-mail me at julainehome@cox.net. I am a member of the Lafayette Genealogical Society and would like to make a presentation to the group on our efforts since last fall to prevent any destruction to the historical tombs in the St. Nicholas Cemetery at Patoutville/Lydia. We have been able to find descendants for about 10-15 tombs and some have already been repaired.

UPDATE ON Acadian/Mi'kmaq Festival


Ellen Hunt - Mar 5, 2007 View Viewers

Hi Everyone, I have received emails from people who are interested in this reunion. I will make plans to have it in Lahave during the festival. The date is not set yet, because I have to meet with the Lunenburg County Historicial Society who sponsors this festival, but I have asked for August 18 & 19th. Lahave is about 45 minutes from Mahone Bay if you drive to Bridgewater and follow the highway to Lahave. If you join the Lahave Ferry, it would take about 25 minutes. From Lunenburg by way of Lahave ferry, it takes me 20 minutes. The ferry crosses the river every 15 minutes, but on special days during an event , it crosses often. It holds about 16 vehicles. There are Risser's Campground and others in the area. The Mi'kmaq/Acadian Burial Ground in Petite Riviere is about 10-15 minutes away. We will tour this burial ground as part of the agenda. What other things would you like to do while you are here? I was thinking maybe: The Mi'kmkaq Burial Ground Research and Restoration Association plan to erect a panel at the burial ground this year. It depends on funding. Maybe we could help pay for the panel and it would be from all the descendents of the Lahave/Bras dor Indians. Its our ancestors who are buried there. Then we could have a special ceremony. This would be our mark. Go on a boat ride to the Lahave Islands. Have a picnic Story telling time Talking Circles Sharing of culture A reenactment Genealogy Dig clams Weiner roast on the beach near the burial ground Acadian and Mikmaq entertainment at the festival Beach walks - mussel boils. any other suggestions. Please get them out to me before the meeting which will be sometime soon, so I can bring them forward. thanks ellen I will post links for accommodations.'http://www.myfamily.com/isapi.dll?c=s&htx=m&siteid=G1kYAI

ACADIAN/MI'KMAQ FESTIVAL

Acadian/Mi'kmaq Festival
Ellen Hunt - Mar 2, 2007 View Viewers

Hi Everyone,

It looks like most of our ancestors first lived in Lahave. We will be celebrating the fourth Acadian/Mi'kmaq festival sometime in August. It is usually the weekend closest to August 15th. This year we will have the grand opening of the First Mi'kmaq Village on the grounds and also the opening of the reconstructed Maria de Grace Fort.

Plans for the festival are just in the planning stages. I am one of th co-ordinators for the Village and the festival. Would anyone be interested in a reunion of the Lahave and Bras'dor Indian descendents.? In this area is Petite Riviere, where Germain LeJeune lived. Also the Mi'kmaq/Acadian burial ground which dates back to at least early 1500's. Maria de Grace Fort is where the french lived in 1600's and traded with the Mi'kmaq. Sourquois, stated in the "History of Lunenburg County" by Mathis Desbrisay means "Salt Water Indians". There are lots of history in this area . You could walk in the foot steps of our ancestors. I lives close to Lahave and visit it quite often.

Please let me know if you are interested and I can set the plans in motion.

Thanks,
Ellen
