you too have been in dilema! According to Mary E Kiah of Brewer ,Maine, the name was Thibodeau/Acadians/When coming to Brewer, they were asked their name, and being French speaking, they thought the clerk asked "where are yoy from?" A-kay-ya...Acadia. Thus the name evolved. Hope this helps you. I too am trying to find more but have not heard as of yet. These peoples were comrades to the Micmacs and learned and shared much.. thus I have been tracking the path there too.Good luck to you.Theresa
