Census of Acadia 1750/1751

List of Refugee Families
at Chedaik, at Point Beausejour and the Surrounding Area

1750/1751

Transcribers have often mistaken this census as one for 1732 because of an error on the microfilm.
Stephen White tells me there was no census in 1732.
This census is for 1750/1751.

The following is from Stephen White.
"Regarding your other question, I can assure you that there was no such thing as a 1732 census. This is just an error. The actual record is not dated. It is a list of refugees who came from the Beaubassin settlements on the English side of the border between the two Acadias that briefly existed in the early 1750's into the French-controlled area. I refer to it at the bottom of page liii of the DGFA. I do not date it 1751/1752, but rather a year earlier, 1750/1751. It must have been drawn up after the destruction of the church and village of Beaubassin during the summer of 1750. On the other hand, it mentions the family of Joseph Poirier and Ursule Renaud, who subsequently appear on île St-Jean in LaRoque's census (1752), where they say they had been living for a year, which means that the refugee list must have been drawn up by at least mid-1751, before Joseph and Ursule moved on. That is why I put the list down to 1750/1751. By the way, I think the bibliography of the first part of the DGFA is the most useful section of the whole work. People often ask me various things about the documentation, where records are found, whether the CEA has certain records, whether there are errors in some things, and so forth. The bibliography contains the answers to so many of these questions, although one has to know just where to find them."
