My Nova Scotia French Acadian and Scottish GenealogyUpdated July 9, 2004 |
|
| Canada was founded by two founding nations, French and English. The French established the first North American French Settlement at Port Royal, Nova Scotia in 1605. They were eventually deported from Nova Scotia beginning in 1755. We know them as the Acadians. (Cajuns in USA) The first English settlement was by the Scots at Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1773 when the Hector arrived to a heavily forested and unsettled land. Most came because the Lords in Scotland who owned the land made them leave, as it was more profitable to raise sheep than be paid for the lands use by the tenants. My family can trace their Genealogy roots to both of these early settlements and founding peoples. My Scotish Ancestors My Scotish side is the surname ROSE. The Rose Clan traces its ancestry back to the founding of the Clan in the early 13th century. My Rose ancestors came from Invergordon - Cromarty area of the Highlands of Scotland in 1818 to the Pictou area of Nova Scotia. From the Pictou area they have migrated to Halifax and Cheverie in Nova Scotia and other areas of North America. Some stayed in Pictou County area and some still reside there. Several other ROSE families settled other areas of Nova Scotia in the early part of the 19th century. In several areas of Cape Breton Island, Sheet Harbour, Urbania and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. My French Acadian Ancestors It is believed that the LANGLOIS's came from Paris, France, settling eventually in D'Escousse, Isle Madame, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia in early 1800s. The BOUDREAU's (originally BOUDROT) trace their accessory to early 1600s and Port Royal, Nova Scotia; they went to Quebec, St. Pierre & Miquelon, Magdalen Islands, finally settling in Petit-de-Grat on Isle Madame. The PERTUS's came from France via Senegal (French West Africa), Louisiana and South Carolina, finally settling on Cascaret Island (Pertus Island) near River Bourgeois in the early 1800s. The DOYLE's came from Wexford, located on the southeast coast of Ireland in the early 1800s. They settled in three areas that we know off, Lower River Inhabitants, southwest of Port Hawkesbury; Poulamon and Rocky Bay on Isle Madame.
