I've highlighted all the structures occupied by Acadian Settlers in the Chignecto area that were identified by the British in Summer of 1755. This would have been used by the New England Rangers to track down the Acadians for expulsion.

Brian,
Have you attempted to associate any Acadian family names with any of the structures?

Bonjour Rich.

Many of the settlements are named after the dominant family... Which makes it possible or likely that at least you can get it down to a dozen buildings or less. In the Annapolis map the map maker wrote the names next to the cluster of buildings.
I would think that the maps might inform some archeologists

    I was born 3 miles from the scene of the action and played in the places where the principals in Tintamarre lived and died.
