BUGARET- ANCESTRAL The Congrès Mondial Acadien 2019 is just over two years away so we are beginning to MOTHER OF THE plan the Guédry et Petitpas Reunion. The CMA 2019 will take place between 3-24 Au- PETITPAS FAMLY gust 2019 and we would like to have the Guédry et Petitpas Reunion on Saturday, 17 ANCESTRAL August 2019. The CMA 2019 will be within two provinces of Canada – Prince Edward GRANDMOTHER OF THE GUÉDRY Island and southeastern New Brunswick. On Prince Edward Island the Evangeline FAMILY Region (North Cape Coastal Drive) on the northwestern end of PEI is the Acadian re- gion . In southeastern New Brunswick the two areas of Acadian interest are Moncton by R. Martin Guidry and the Memramcook region south of Moncton. The Memramcook area has a predomi- nantly Acadian population. We have had our past reunions in south Louisiana, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and northern Maine. For those considering attending the LEO PETTIPAS 10 MANITOBA 2019 Reunion, where would you like to meet – Prince Edward Island or New ARTICLE Brunswick? Send a brief email to [email protected] and state your choice. We’ll try to select a site for the Reunion this summer.

BON APPETIT- 12 In 2007 our family association along with our local Clare, Nova Scotia counterpart Recipes from the dedicated a nice bronze plaque to Augustin Guédry & Marie Jonson – the founders of Guédry/Labine/ St-Alphonse, Nova Scotia in 1787. We had held one of our 2004 Reunions at Petitpas Family Meteghan and St-Alphonse. We would like to dedicate plaques at two other historic Guédry sites where we have had past Reunions. One is Lunenburg (formerly Merliguèche), Nova Scotia where our Guédry and Petitpas families lived in the 1600s HISTORICAL 13 TIDBITS and early 1700s and where we held our other 2004 Reunion. Claude Guédry and Mar- guerite Petitpas lived at Merliguèche and raised their family there. The other is Grand Isle Maine – where Romain Guédry (Grivois) and his wife Marie Comeau settled about GIL LABINE 15 1830 and founded the Grivois family of the Grand Isle area. In 2014 we held our Reun- ONTARIO ion at the Acadian Village about 10 miles from Grand Isle. Please email me at ARTICLE [email protected] and let us know your thoughts about whether we should dedicate plaques at these two locations. Finally, at least seven members of the Guédry family (Guidry and Labine) have had their Y-DNA analyzed at FamilyTreeDNA. We have started a Guidry surname project at FamilyTreeDNA for all variations of the surname Guédry (Guedry, Guidry, Gaidry, Geddry, Jeddry, Labine, Labean and others) We have already used the information from these DNA analyses in one major project on the potential Guédry-Melançon con- nection. If you are interested in joining this project, please visit https:// www.familytreedna.com and order a Y-DNA kit (either Y-67 or Y-111). You can read a bit about the Guidry project at: https://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/guidry/ . Or you can email me at [email protected] to discuss or ask questions. GENERATIONS Volume 15, Issue 1 Page 2 CATHERINE BUGARET ANCESTRAL MOTHER OF THE PETITPAS FAMILY ANCESTRAL GRANDMOTHER OF THE GUÉDRY FAMILY by Martin Guidry The Bugaret surname was short-lived in Acadia – only from1638 until 1693. Although only two persons held the surname during its brief stay in Acadia, the Bugaret genes survive today in their descendants. The first Bugaret to reach the shores of Acadia, Bernard Bugaret was the father of Catherine Bugaret, wife of Claude Petitpas.1 A ship’s carpenter, he travelled from France to Acadia on at least three occasions – 1636, 1638 and 1648. With the tragic death of Governor Isaac Razilly in 1635, Razilly’s brother Claude de Razilly, Sieur du Launay appointed Charles de Menou Sieur d’Aulnay de Charnisay as his lieutenant in Acadia. On March 9th and 20th of 1636 d’Aulnay drew up contracts in La Rochelle, France under the notary Pierre Teuleron to bring colonists to Acadia from La Rochelle on the 250-ton ship Saint-Jehan.2 On 12 March 1636 Nicolas Denys de la Ronde drew up a contract at La Rochelle under the notary Pierre Teuleron to transport his colonists to Acadia on the Saint-Jehan.3 Sailing 1 April 1636 from La Rochelle, France on the Saint-Jehan to LaHève, Acadia was Bernard Bugare, a Basque carpenter – one of nine carpenters onboard.4 As a carpenter, he must have signed a contract earlier in 1636 - perhaps with Nicolas Denys to work on Denys’ lumbering op- erations in the LaHève-Merliguèche area and to construct buildings and boats. Heading on the Roll of the Saint-Jehan List of Carpenters on the Saint-Jehan (Bernard Bugaret appears on the 8th line from the bottom) GENERATIONS Volume 15, Issue 1 Page 3 CATHERINE BUGARET ANCESTRAL MOTHER OF THE PETITPAS FAMILY ANCESTRAL GRANDMOTHER OF THE GUÉDRY FAMILY by Martin Guidry The Basque country is in the western Pyrénées Mountains, straddling the border between France and Spain on the Atlantic coast. The Northern Basque Country (also called the French Basque Country) lies within the Py- rénées-Atlantique Département of France and comprises the three historic provinces of Labourd, Lower Na- varre and Soule. Historic documents state that Bernard Bugaret lived in the community of Villefranche-du- Queran, located in the Lot-et-Garonne Département. Both the Pyrénées-Atlantique and Lot-et-Garonne Dépar- tements are located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region of southwestern France; however, the Lot-et-Garonne Département is northeast of the Pyrénées-Atlantique Département. Villefranche-du-Queron is about 100 miles from the true Basque region within the Pyrénées-Atlantique Département. Bugaret did not stay long at LaHève. On 15 September 1637 Pierre Teuleron, the notary at La Rochelle, pre- pared a contract between Nicolas Denys and Bernard Bugaret in which Bugaret and his ten men would be giv- en free passage to Acadia. This document stated that Bernard Bugaret was a native of Villefranche in Gasco- ny, France.5 One of these ten men was Barthélemi Redon dit la Borderye. On 14 January 1638 under the pen of the notary Teuleron in La Rochelle Bernard Bugaret dit Saint-Martin of Villefranche-de-Queyran laid down the conditions of employment for Redon. Bugaret would transport Redon to LaHève, would board him for one year beginning the day of the hunt, would supply him with clothes, footwear, arms and munitions for the hunt and would pay him 300 pounds in wages.6 It appears that Bernard Bugaret was establishing a fur hunting busi- ness near LaHève for his own profit. Again Bugaret returned to France – this time before 1648. On 24 March 1648 Bernard Bugaret dit St-Martin living at Mas in Agenois contracted with Emanuel Le Borgne to cut timber near LaHève, and prepare and ship to France stave wood for barrels. Bugaret would receive one-third of the stave wood and would have to pay no freight charges.7 Evidently, the stave wood would be transported in the “empty” ships returning to France after disembarking passengers and workers at LaHève. 1648 Contract of Bernard Bugaret GENERATIONS Volume 15, Issue 1 Page 4 CATHERINE BUGARET ANCESTRAL MOTHER OF THE PETITPAS FAMILY ANCESTRAL GRANDMOTHER OF THE GUÉDRY FAMILY by Martin Guidry 1648 Contract of Bernard Bugaret - Translation Bernard Bugaret apparently had some influence with the leaders of early Acadia and the Compagnie de la Nouvelle France as about 1637 he was granted all rights to the lands at Merliguèche. In a report concerning his 1698 survey of the Acadian coast Jacques L’Hermite stated8: The named Petitpas, grandson of one Bernard du Gueret dit Saint-Martin, a native of Bordeaux, estab- lished at Mirliguesche, between LaHave and Chebucto, coast of Acadie, by the gentlemen of the Com- pany [de Razilly-Condonnier] about 80 years ago, was given this harbour in concession by the king, as recorded in papers registered with the registry [office] of Canada. GENERATIONS Volume 15, Issue 1 Page 5 CATHERINE BUGARET ANCESTRAL MOTHER OF THE PETITPAS FAMILY ANCESTRAL GRANDMOTHER OF THE GUÉDRY FAMILY by Martin Guidry The Petitpas mentioned very likely was Claude Petitpas, third child of Claude Petitpas and Catherine Bugaret. He was a schooner captain and interpreter of Mi’kmaq, had married a Mi’kmaq lady named Marie-Thérèse and lived in the LaHève vicinity at Mousoudabouet (Musquodoboit). The report is dated December 1716; there- fore, “about 80 years ago” would have been approximately 1637. In the historical record Bernard Bugaret’s name was recorded in several ways including Bernard Bugaret, Ber- nard Bugare, Bernard Bugaret dit Saint-Martin, Bernard Bugaret dit St-Martin, Bernard du Gueret dit Saint- Martin and Bernard Bugaret dit Saint-Martin du Gueret. Although he travelled to Acadia at least three times and worked there, he does not appear to have settled in Acadia. We find no record of him after 1648 although he apparently left a “record” in the Mirliguèche area. In the vicinity of present-day Lunenburg we find Mar- tins Cove and Martins (St.

    Placenaming on Cape Breton Island A different view from the sea: placenaming on Cape Breton Island William Davey Cape Breton University Sydney NS Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT : George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces . Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names.

Anderson ______________________________ Dr. Karl H. Offen © Copyright by MATTHEW R. BAHAR 2012 All Rights Reserved. For Allison Acknowledgements Crafting this dissertation, like the overall experience of graduate school, occasionally left me adrift at sea. At other times it saw me stuck in the doldrums. Periodically I was tossed around by tempestuous waves. But two beacons always pointed me to quiet harbors where I gained valuable insights, developed new perspectives, and acquired new momentum. My advisor and mentor, Josh Piker, has been incredibly generous with his time, ideas, advice, and encouragement. His constructive critique of my thoughts, methodology, and writing (I never realized I was prone to so many split infinitives and unclear antecedents) was a tremendous help to a graduate student beginning his career. In more ways than he probably knows, he remains for me an exemplar of the professional historian I hope to become. And as a barbecue connoisseur, he is particularly worthy of deference and emulation.

(GHD) with regards to the proposed aggregate quarry expansion near Sporting Mountain in Richmond County, NS. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas in which the proposed project is located and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists regarding to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol, 2nd Edition”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs (ANSMC), which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities, both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis, considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use.

  • Nicolas Deny S: the Chronology and Historiography of an Acadian Hero
    BERNARD POTHIER Nicolas Deny s: The Chronology and Historiography of an Acadian Hero The place of honour reserved for Nicolas Denys has been an enviable one. Traditionally, historians of both English-speaking Canada and French-Canada have presented the image, largely, of an honest and virtuous man, steadfast, upright, sincere and tenacious in his determination to secure an honourable livelihood from the Acadian setting he allegedly had come to love. Denys, in short, has been perhaps the most endearing historical figure of Acadia. From the 1950's, however, a large volume of hitherto unknown documents, collateral to his own writings, was brought to light by diligent searchers! Although it became possible from the mid-1950's to reappraise the significance of Denys' career in Acadia, very little in fact was undertaken. This paper proposes to review the career of Nicolas Denys in the light of recent findings, and to relate his activities to New France in the seventeenth century and the development of French trade and commerce overseas. It is proposed as well to review briefly the historiography of Nicolas Denys which, in many respects, has evolved in a manner less dependant upon the rules of historical scholarship than upon the emotions generated by national and reg­ ional pride. II Nicolas Denys' origins are obscure. The family was from Tours or that gen­ eral area where, seemingly, they had been established for several generations? Nicolas' great-grandfather, Mathurin Denis, was a "capitaine des gardes du 1 Especially noteworthy are the Papiers Fouquet which were discovered in 1953 by René Baudry at the Archives Départementales de l'Ille-et-VHaine at Rennes.

  • Acadian Emigration to Lle Royale After · . the Conquest of Acadia
    Acadian Emigration to lle Royale After · .the Conquest of Acadia by Bernard POTHIER * · The phase of the. struggle for empire in America which ended with the Peace of Utrecht in ·1713 left France weakened and substantially transformed the geographic setting of her North Atlantic colonies. Despite the enfeebled state of the realm, however, her experience and resources allowed France to react vigourously. During the winter of 1712-13, in anticipation of the terms of the Peace, Louis XIV's govern­ ment took steps to minimize the effects of its losses. In the North Atlantic, where France had been compelled to cede both Newfoundland and Acadia to Great Britain, the islands of St. Jean and Cap ·Breton had not been affected by the Peace. It was upon the latter that the authorities laid the foundations of the new colony of lle Royale. This venture was prompted primarily by economic considerations: the French aimed above all to re-establish the lucrative cod fishery of the Grand Banks. 1 Attendant upon this scheme was the desire to establish a viable colony on lle Royale, ·something never achieved on Newfoundland, which, it was hoped, would provide the security which the fishery had hitherto lacked. Accordingly, Louishourg, the seat of government for the colony, soon became an entrepot of trade largely as a result of the colony's supply of fish. 2 Three steps were necessary to launch the new colony on this basis. First, the civil and military officers and the troops of both the ceded colonies had to he moved to Ile Royale.

    STATUS REPORT on The Eastern Moose (Alces alces americana Clinton) in Mainland Nova Scotia by Gerry Parker 23 Marshview Drive, Sackville, New Brunswick. E4L 3B2 [email protected] (June 6, 2003) 2 TECHNICAL SUMMARY DISTRIBUTION Extent of occurrence: Mainland Nova Scotia; ~ 55,000 km2 Area of Occupancy: Fragmented; ~ six foci of distribution of ~ 10,000 km2 POPULATION INFORMATION Total number of individuals in the mainland Nova Scotia population: Uncertain, but approximately 1,000 to 1,200. Number of mature individuals in the mainland Nova Scotia population (effective population size): Perhaps 85% of estimated population, or 850 to 1,000individuals. Generation time: Average life expectancy of 8-10 years. Population trend: __X____ declining _____increasing _____ stable _____unknown Rate of population decline: ~ 20% in 30 years Number of sub-populations: Possibly 3: northeastern; southwestern; eastern shore. Is the population fragmented? Yes. number of individuals in each subpopulation: see map in Figure 1. number of historic sites from which species has been extirpitated: All of mainland except where noted above. Does the species undergo fluctuations? Irregular long-term trends. THREATS The moose of mainland Nova Scotia are fully protected from legal hunting but are subjected to poaching of an uncertain extent. Increased incursion into wilderness moose habitat by forestry roads raises the threat of disturbance from humans and illegal kill. Moose are also subject to mortality from the parasite Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, a brainworm common to white-tailed deer, and are often restricted to areas of deer absence or scarcity. Dead or dying moose have been necropsied with symptoms of an unidentified viral infection – the real threat of this possible pathogen is yet to be determined.
