My wife’s 6th great-grandmother is also buried at Port Royal (now known as Annapolis Royal).

My ancestor was Anne Marie Doucet, and she’s either buried in Annapolis Royal or Pisiguit. Her son, Pierre Landry, ended up in Assumption Parish, Louisiana, where he died in 1815. Apparently, the Doucets were among the founding settlers of New France.

So, while you and I are distant cousins, you are a closer cousin of my wife; Anne Marie was her 7th great-grandmother!
