This is the start of my Hebert family. Ms. Rosie http://www.cajunclearinghouse.com/ provided my Dad with a lot of information and their research expanded. Great stuff and I'm very thankful for genealogists! My Dad has a lot of info and willing to share. We sent some information to the Hebert association in Abbeville too.
My Dad's side had no Acadian ancestry. My Mom's side did - a few though. Very "French" majority on both sides.
If you would like information contact me by commenting on this post.
