We now offer the following collection of genealogical links to our readers with hopes, that in their use, they will find some missing pieces to their Acadian ancestral mosaic. The first two pages of web sites are divided geographically by region since we all climb back from where we are presently to that place from where our ancestors originated. The third page contains links to web sites that should be of interest to all Acadian researchers.

If you know from which Maritime Province or Québec your ancestors emigrated from, begin your search in that place. If you don't, then please continue your genealogical homework here in the various United States archival holdings and parishes before proceeding further. Doing this necessary legwork will make a successful transition to the sources offered across the border via cyberspace. Also, please proceed cautiously, as all information presented at these sites, while presented as accurately as possible, may contain spelling errors and other errors of transcription, or lack vital information and other clues missed by their compilers. Nothing beats the primary sources of information... the actual registers or census records themselves. Let these links and sites, then, be your guides in locating these original materials.

Finally, if you use information from these web sites in your own research, please be mindful of the long hours their authors have spent making this information available to us all. Don't forget to document your sources, respect all copyrights, and give credit where credit is due. With regard to the dissemination and use of genealogical data, The Acadian Cultural Society endorses the Standards For Sharing Information With Others as recommended by the National Genealogical Society. Happy ancestor hunting!
