I agree with all you just said Danielle, I am also very aware of the the Expulsions. I just brought the info up, because I've come across sooo many situations on genealogical sites, where they will base all connections involving Acadian on S.W. works, and many either are unaware that these books/compendiums/family dictionaries were made at the request for "just Acadian families", consequently, those who either married outside the tradional "acadian-french" bloods...were not included in many of these references. Then the double strike comes, because not only are some unable to find their direct line connections within these references...but they get whamied again, by those who may say..."well it's not in SW so.. it isn't accurate. The question above by Barbara just sorta made me think of this little fact, so I thought I would bring it up for attention to wiki genealogists as food for thought when trying to use ref. to confirm or deny lineages within Acadia specifically. I guess maybe I should have started a separate comment on this based on Acadia...But then again, many of these families ended up all over the place during the expulsions, so one maybe searching in Qeubec or Louisianna..and find a source that is accurate..then go back from there only to find..."null"..and be told.."no..S.W. doesn't show it" so it's not accurate.
Don't get me wrong, S.W. is very accurate & great source..but this bit of info, should be considered when not being able to find names that should be connected, & that's where other sources like Jesuit baptismal records within Jesuit Relations, or Journal Entries of Explorers, Trappers, Traders, old Fort records, etc..may have to come into play for some, to at least raise suspicions of possible familial ties, when other options have been exhausted.
**btw...the reference quote Came from this for those who may want to see proof;

Le Dictionnaire généalogique des familles acadiennes Genealogical Dictionary of Acadian families
Durant l’été de 2003, nous avons achevé l’augmentation du texte de la deuxième partie du dictionnaire généalogique par l’incorporation des familles de descendants de la colonie acadienne sur la rivière du Sud, en arrière de Montmagny. During the summer of 2003, we completed the increase in the text of the second part of the dictionary pedigree by including families of descendants of the Acadian settlement on the South River, behind Montmagny. Après avoir écarté la limitation que nous avons imposée ailleurs selon laquelle nous ne poursuivons pas la descendance des natifs ou natives de l’Acadie plus loin qu’à la génération de leurs petits-enfants, nous avons pu ainsi ajouter plus de 260 familles à notre ouvrage. After dismissing the limitation that we have imposed elsewhere that we are not descendants of native or natives of Acadia further than the generation of their grandchildren, we were able to add more than 260 families in our book."
