As an outsider I assume all of your last names end with -not, -eaux, -ert or -anc.

Most of us who thought our family's were exiled back to france from nova Scotia are actually just from the German coast.
Example being Bonvillian (good farmer).

Probably a name of those former members of Napoleon's army in Egypt given land around Marksville. NOT Cajun

French, not Cajun. Cajuns are descended from those who were kicked out of Acadie (Acadia) now part of Nova Scotia

Yep, I’m sure most people think my last name is Cajun because it’s French and we’re from south Louisiana, but it’s really just French. Also, to your second point, it was actually German until my ancestors moved to Louisiana. For some reason they went with the French translation of my last name rather than the German translation, they were from the Alsace–Lorraine region of France that flip flopped between German and French control at different times.
Breaux?

FTR, Carville is fake Cajun, unless a Carville married a Cajun woman or two in his ancestry. Carville was a Union Soldier from Wisconsin who was at the Battle of Port Hudson, then married a gal from around St. Francisville whose once prominent family had fallen into ruin as a result of the war. Basically a carpetbagger.

Where were the “cajuns” before Nova Scotia?
Posted on 2/6/22 at 8:11 am to LeGrosChat
Spanish immigrants from Málaga, Spain, settled in the area of present-day Iberia Parish. (New Iberia and Iberia Parish are named for the Iberian Peninsula).
The Malagueños assimilated into the local French population, and Spanish names like Dominguez became Domingue.

Descendents of members of Napoleon's army given land for their service, not Cajun. FTR, even Coco was from that group

From the U.S. National Park website on Jean Lafitte National Historic Park:
quote:
The Acadian story begins in France; the people who would become the Cajuns came primarily from the rural areas of the Vendee region of western France. In 1604, they began settling in Acadie, now Nova Scotia, where they prospered as farmers and fishers

French, not Cajun.
But present day Evangeline Parish was not settled by Acadians (Cajuns). Like the extremely common name of the area, Fontenot, many of the people in the area originally were French but not Acadian French.
