The second publication, relying entirely on French archival documents is Milton P.

The first publication documented with Spanish archival material is Oscar William Winzerling, Acadian Odyssey (Baton Rouge, 1955), pp. 199-206. The second publication, relying entirely on French archival documents is Milton P. Rieder Sr. and Norma Gaudet Rieder, editiors, The Crew and Passenger Registration Lists of the Seven Acadian Expeditions of 1785, (Metairie, La. 1965).
The roll of the Acadian families appearing in the present compilation is documented by a third source. It is felt that it provides a valuable addition to the already published lists and corroborates that information. “5810,5143
