LIEU D'HISTOIRE | Louisiane : enquête sur l’origine d’un nom mentionné pour la première fois en 1681 ➽ https://bit.ly/Origine-Nom-Louisiane Quelques amateurs d’étymologies historiques ont cru découvrir dans la formation du nom de Louisiane une savante association des prénoms de Louis XIV et d’Anne d’Autriche. Malheureusement pour cette explication, vraiment trop ingénieuse, la Reine Mère s’éteignit en 1666, dans la retraite, et personne, quinze ans plus tard, ne pouvait plus songer à rappeler son souvenir en Amérique

Pictured above is my 3rd great-uncle Ovillier Guillot and his family. He is the 4th great-grandson of Jean Baptiste Guillot.

Today is the Day of Commemoration for the Acadian Expulsion.

While I have quite a few direct ancestors who lived in Nova Scotia and ended up in France at the time of the expulsion, there's only one family unit that I have been able to confirm was expelled.

That was the family of my 8th great-grandfather Jean Baptiste Guillot, born in Acadia in 1720 with his body given to the Atlantic Ocean in 1758. His family was expelled from Cobequid, Acadia, Nova Scotia to France during the brutal "Great Expulsion" by the British, who wanted to squelch any potential threats from the Acadians and the Mi'kmaq during the French and Indian War.

His son (my 7th great-grandfather) Charles Olivier Miquel Guillot was only 13 in 1758 when they had to take the long, arduous 75-day journey to France. His father Jean, along with 4 of his brothers, never made it off of the ship.

Charles grew up in France where he married and had 3 children of his own. They left France in 1785 to board one of the seven ships paid for by Spain, Le Saint-Rémi, to take them to Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.

Many members of the Wabanaki Confederacy (I believe predominately it was the Mi'kmaq militia), in addition to other affiliated Indigenous tribes and Acadians, who rallied a resistance were slaughtered or expelled. They refused to swear loyalty to the British crown and surrender to British colonists, refused to convert from Catholicism to Protestantism, and refused to allow themselves to be displaced without a fight. Numerous battles took place to stop the deportation with wins and losses across the board.

While no one has one lineage, I was raised as a proud Cajun despite having often felt ashamed of being Cajun for various reasons (like my accent). I even tried my hardest over twelve years to banish anything that could link me to my roots, not knowing the history behind a part of my ethnicity and culture.

Digging into my ancestry has been a wild ride, and there were many things found within my lineages that were not honorable in any way, but this chunk of my history? This has made me proud to be Cajun again.

I wish I had respected it more when I was still able to be immersed in it. I wish I had asked my pawpaw to tell me more stories. I wish I had kept up with Cajun French (AKA Louisiana French). I wish I hadn't let my cultural heritage fall through my fingers.

Many blessings to those who fought and lost their lives against the British colonists in an attempt to secure the freedom of not only themselves but of future generations to come.

[Disclaimer: I am still only beginning to educate myself about this event and am utilizing my current understanding of how events unfolded and who was involved. I apologize in advance for any misconceptions or misinformation regarding the historical accuracy of my comments.]

La Louisiane

En explorant un pan méconnu de l'Histoire des colonies françaises, l'envoi de femmes pour peupler ces vastes territoires, Julia Malye réussit une admirable fresque autour d'un trio de femmes bien décidées à cesser de subir la loi des hommes.

Le funambule - Frédéric SURGAN - 2023 - 5 sens Editions

Quatrième de couverture Lisette a fui la France dès la fin 1945 pour s’installer en Louisiane avec l’espoir d’y entamer une nouvelle vie, emportant avec elle un lourd secret.

Quand, au printemps 1959, Lisette disparaît dans des circonstances troubles, Roly s’engage sur une…

Lincoln Stone s'en va-t'en-guerre (part 3)

Lincoln Stone : « Putain de sale nègre tu vas voir ce qu’on va te faire ! » avait été les dernières paroles de Lou Baretta avant que je lui vide mon chargeur dans le buffet. Les autres ont été moins bavards. Mais d’un autre côté on ne leur a pas laissé le temps de causer. On voulait rendre Marzetta nerveux, alors on ne s’est pas annoncé de suite. Tuyauté par l’irlandais, on a commencé par foutre…
