Acadian Place Names Yesterday and Today

Québec places have not been listed unless they were once part of Acadia. Since most Québec places have retained the same names or have changed very little so that they are still easily identified it seems unnecessary to list them.

Hi Lucie. The list is showing Port Toulouse as Brunswick
and Ile Royale as Yarmouth Bay
.....aren't they supposed to be:
Port Toulouse - St. Peter's
Ile Royale - Louisbourg
I think it's the way the list is printing on the screen...and perhaps it's just my pc screen :o)

Thanks, Lucie. Have a nice day.
Rose

Hi Rose.. it lines up just fine on my screen.. can you widen your viewing area?

What a great list - thank you for sharing it!

"Heritage Acadien" sounds like a book I need. :-D

It is a great list but I am having the same problem with formatting. Port Royal is coming up as Shelburne.

Lucie LeBlanc Consentino said...

That likely depends on your screen.. it looks fine on mine and everything is lined up correctly.
