I think I've done something that has never been done before. And for a change it's not something that's really stupid.
In 1750 Charles Lawrence made a British assault on the old settlement at Beaubassin on the southeast side of the Missaquash River. Prior to his arrival Abbe Le Loutre ordered the burning of the entire village and removal of the residents to the north side of the river.
A new settlement was established and a French Fort - Beausejour - was established to protect both the settlement and the new territory. The area - now called the Isthmus of Chignecto - is barely 8 miles wide and was a crucial place in the battle for North America - it was the ony way to get to Quebec from Europe in the winter.
To this point (at least to my knowledge) no attempt has been made at mapping the replacement settlement. I've taken a stab at it. I've used as a reference the sketches drawn by Lieutenant John Hamilton of the Regiment of 40th Foot of the British Army in 1755. (see below)
I've used the Fort and the relative land elevations to try and plot the houses and other buildings (including the church). He likely drew these sketches from the Fort Lawrence. 
One deficiency of both his sketches and my map is that we can only draw and plot what we can see - so there may be other buildings that are not included. My map (and his sketches) include 29 buildings plus the church and fort. This would suggest a population of, say, over 100 people.
Comments are welcome.

Happy (and sad) to advise that Tintamarre is going to be redeveloped after some terrific suggestions from one of my readers. Am going to remake it as a flashback with parallel stories then and now and add in a buried treasure story..

These days it's very difficult to get a book published unless you are movie or sports stars (who don't even write their own books) or are one of the few dozen writers who are well known names.
Tintamarre, while ma chérie and other readers think it's really good, my story (and I) need all the help we can get to have this work published and the story told.
 So I've posted a survey on the home page that will allow those who want to read the story to show their interest.
The results will be used in marketing, but those who respond will be entirely anonymous - even to me.
If you are willing to post it on your website, or Facebook page, this would be a great help.
At some point, if and when it becomes successful, I will be making a donation to an historical Acadian cause - a museum or archeological dig, etc. 

I am finished the manuscript of "Tintamarre!"
I got the idea in December 2012 when driving to my home in "Tintamarre" to visit my mother for Christmas. I was listening to a James Lee Burke talking book and was consumed with the character. I'd read all of the Dave Robicheaux series and felt the character's sense of longing for something lost. But hearing it spoken had me connect in a different way. I could see him as an Acadian long suffering from not being in the place of his Ancestors.
So I started working on an idea and by May - for my Mother's 97th birthday I was ready to start the formal researching and had even written about fifty pages that I knew would fit in somewhere. I met with the historians to whom I owe so much and from whom I learned things I had never known. They gave me some legends that connected the people of the time to me. And I made my long walk out on the dykes and found the shattered pottery of an Acadian's soup bowl from hundreds of years ago. 
I was given a mission and tried as well as I could to tell the epic story honestly and with the beginning of an understanding of what it was like for Acadians then, and what it is like for them now.
I could have been finished four months ago, but I got taken away from it by the need to earn a living.
But it may have been for the best.
I went back to it four months later, and the story was new again. I rewrote what I had written and was stuck for an ending. But my sweetie, Katherine, and I had a cold drink and talked about it and next thing I knew... I knew. And I dashed off the last 15,000 words.
I made an ending that was at the same time tragic and triumphant. Which was what I had set out to do.
I hope hundreds of thousands of people learn from what I have written...
So I can write the sequel.
