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

I hope to start planning aCMA Reunion for the LaBauve Family.
I attended the CMA1999 in Louisiana (Breaux Bridge and

Brusly), where I met many "cousins", including Robert Brault

A Christmas Carol
by G.K.Chesterton

The Christ-child lay on Mary's lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary's breast,
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings,
But here the true hearts are.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary's heart,
His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world's desire.)

The Christ-child stood on Mary's knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.

FRENCH-INDIAN MARRIAGES

"We are descendants of numerous French-Indians marriages which took place during the early colonization by the French of what today is known as Nova Scotia but in the past was known as Mi'kma'ki to the Mi'kmaq and Acadia to the French."Many of our Mi'kmaq ancestors are known through existing records, but other lines although long suspected have lacked supporting documentation."With advances in DNA testing and the identification of Native American MtDNA Haplogroups, we are now able to prove those lines by testing male/females who trace their maternal lines back to one of these suspected early Mi'kmaq mothers.."

Research by Erich BurtonAmerindian family website:

http://www.myfamily.com/isapi.dll?c=site&htx=main&siteid=G1kYAI

DNA testing shows that Louis Noel de LaBauve's wife, Marie Rimbault, was a Mi'kma'ki Inidian.
