My dad is a New Brunswick Acadian. One of my ancestors lived in the place (Nova Scotia) and time where the Acadian deportation took place. But he and his family managed to leave before getting deported. They were a few years later amongst the founders of the Acadian communities that still exists today in North Eastern New Brunswick. The Acadians account for about one third of that province's population.

Sad for the original Acadians but thankful that they ended up in Louisiana with their rich culture.

Due to a conflict between Britain and France, from 1755-1764 residents of Acadia (a French-speaking region situated in the Canadian maritime provinces and northern Maine) were deported by the British. They moved to Louisiana, New France, English colonies and elsewhere. Thousands of Acadian refugees died due to disease and drowning. ---(largely taken from wikipedia)
