  Origins

  Notes	"The most intense migration from Port-Royal came in the years 1680 and 1690. Pierre Melanson and his young wife, Marguerite Minus d'Entremont, founded the village of Grand-Pré in 1682." It was in the interest of the Acadians to establish themselves in places like Grand-Pré as it provided access to the fur trade and shipping channels, and they found themselves sheltered from all intervention by officials. (from S260, citing Deveau, Alphonse et Sally Ross. Les Acadiens de la Nouvelle-Écosse; hier et aujourd'hui, Édition d'Acadie, Moncton, N.B., 1995.) [2]
