Notes 
Individual:


Francois Girouard and his family are included in the first census ofAcadia in 1671 (340 people). He probably came from the areaaroundLoudon, France.
Acadia was considered settled by 1650. The Girouard's are among the 50families who immigrated before that time. Those families comprisethecore of the Acadian culture. they were farmers who built dykes on thelowlying land adjacent to the Bay of Fundy; transforming the saltwatermarshes into farm land.
New French colonization was virtually non-existent after 1710. Newsettlers came from other countries, soldiers, sailors, and fromtheQuebec area.
