According to Stephen White, who many think is the world's foremost authority on Acadian genealogy (and I agree), a serious error was made at Belle Isle on the Sea when Jean LeBlanc, husband of Francoise Blanchard, was told that he would have to recall their genealogies back to the first ancstors from France.Jean correctly stated that his wife was the daughter of Rene' and Anne Landry but beyond that point he was quite fuzzy and incorrectly said that his father-in-law's parents were Martin Blanchard and Marie LeBlanc, when in actual fact, Martin was married to Francoise LeBlanc.Then Jean goes on to produce the error that has thrown so many genealogists "off track."Evidently he either did not know or couldn't recall that his wife's great-grandparents were named Jean Blanchard and Radegonde Lambert.Stephen White goes on to say that Jean must have had some faint recollection of a Guillaume and Huguette in his wife's ancestry.He must have been thinking of his wife's grandfather's brother who just happened to be named Guillaume and was married to Huguette Gougeon.In this connection, it is particularly important to note that Huguette Gougeon's mother had first been married to a POIRIER.
I have been researching the Blanchard's now for 16 years and published a book entitled "From Acadie To Louisiana, With A Stopover In France, Jean Blanchard And Family."As you can see, I have Jean as the progenitor of the Blanchard clan promoting him to that lofty position after having been in second place for so many years.
