Hi, Leland, I'm sure we will be seeing you working in the Acadians Project! Check out the project page for certain conventions we follow (especially about standard names) and for sources. We add to these all the time so any you want to suggest could be added.
You might also want to follow the tag for First Peoples Canada, as that project covers the Mi'kmaq and other tribes from the Acadian lands. We coordinate with them and use their conventions (especially about names).
All you need to do is build up from yourself and link to the most recent ancestors who are already built. We look forward to working with you. Please don't hesitate to ask any question of the project or any profile. We have someone checking every day so we can respond quickly.

One thing many don't understand when using WikiTree is that we only keep one profile per person who lived. You don't make your own tree separately. We already have 20,000 Acadian profiles built so some of your ancestors are already here. Just based on your own surname, we have the following people: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Surname&s=SURETTE&cln=&order=dobup&secondary_order=&layout=list&u=
