1678
Deceased Father Clarence J. d'Entremont's translation
and interpretation of the Acadian Census of 1678 was published
in the French Canadian and Acadian Genealogical Review in Spring issue, Volume II, No. 1, 1979 on pages 47-66. (At the time, Father d'Entremont was living in Fairhaven, Massachusetts.)
Father d'Entremont correlated the census records and estimated the birth dates of each child in this census. Father d'Entremont's footnotes as to the origin of each child are quite extensive and could not be added to this page though they will perhaps be added to another page as an addendum to this information in the future. However, it should be said that the years that Father d'Entremont assigns to each child did not appear in the actual census but certainly facilitates an understanding of the census itself.
He further ascertains that in comparing the census of 1671 to the census of 1686, that this census was possibly taken in the latter
part of 1678, but more likely in the early part of 1679.
