In Acadian Footsteps: 2

From the oldest Doucet to his youngest son, Mathieu, my x-times great grandfather, eight generations before me, and the woman he married, Anne Lord. From awful childhoods to a golden age for Acadie and Acadians in new, wild and rich lands. And the ancestral line of a second Doucet founding family.

Continuing the Acadia article about that unique, lost-and-found land, this story traces the travels and travails of my Doucet ancestors, starting in the 1600s with an extraordinary man, my x-times pépère (grandfather) Pierre and his wife Henriette nine generations ago, in times both bright and dark.
