The book Recensements de Beaubassin et des Trois Rivières de Chipoudie..., by Stephen A. White now available online

Question

This 408-page  book  lists the censuses taken in the Beaubassin region between 1686 and 1755, with the names of the heads of household, and count of children. It offers additional information such as the name of the father, the spouse (and her father), the year and location of marriage, the location of exile during the Grand Dérangement, and the permanent settlement after. It is very helpful in identifying the parents of couples, and where the families were deported. Divided into two parts, the 1st part lists the censuses in chronological order. The 2nd part lists the heads of household in alphabetical order. And it is free, and searchable!

You can find it here (2019 (vol 50) no 2-4): Recensements

Comments

Merci Gisèle, un de ces jours  je ferai plus de travail sur ce côté de mes ancêtres.  Très utile comme outil ceci.

Answer 1

Gisèle! Thank you so much for this information!

Answer 2

Thanks for alerting everyone, Gisele.

I find the 1750 census entries are super helpful as the current sources we have only give the man's name, and this source links him to his spouse for accurate identification.  It also combines the entries of the 1752 census (same problem) and the 1755 census (our source is handwritten, dark and hard to read).  As Gisele mentioned, it also provides where they settled.

I am not sure the definition of the "Exit" column, could you describe that, Gisele?  Oh got it, the location where they were during deportation.
