Database Enhancement
On the Louisbourg Institute Web Site is the following site: ADDITIONAL NAMES - FRENCH/ENGLISH / NOMS ADDITIONNELS - ANGLAIS/FRANCAIS (Excludes Parish Records File Names and Select Index Names / Non compris les noms dans les registres paroissiaux - addnames.tba). This is an invaluable genealogical tool for the Louisbourg period as it serves as a general finding aid portal to names (presently consisting of 29,336 records) found in the extensive microfilm collection of the Fortress. For example, in the "search all fields all at once" field, please type in the word census which will then return 3,746 records. In fact, just recently added were all of the names (nearly 2,000 names placed in 507 records) from the following 1749 census: "Denombrement General des familles, Dofficiers et habitans Existans dans la colonie DelIsle Royal La Presente Annee &by quarante neuf" The importance of this list is that it groups (generally by family - i.e. husband, wife, children, close relatives, servants, with also, often their professions) those who were returning to Louisbourg in 1749-1750 to resume their lives following the return of the Fortress to the French.
