Genelines helps by charting
local historical events on the timeline against individual life
spans. In the following example, it is very apparent that the subject,
his spouse and all of his children lived during the Acadian Expulsion
and Deportation. Perhaps more clues can be found in other regions
where Acadians were shipped? Ship records, prisoner’s lists,
deportation lists? Searching down this path may lead to interesting
family stories and help you to get a more complete picture of the
family’s life.
