LOOK FOR THIS FAMILY IN LAFOREST VOLUME XXI
The Leblanc family can be traced back to Daniel Leblanc and Françoise Gaudet, who were among the Acadian settlers in the 17th century. They arrived in Acadia, which covered parts of present-day Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, and played a crucial role in the early French colonization of the region.
Daniel Leblanc, a farmer, and Françoise Gaudet, a skilled homemaker, established their roots in Port-Royal, Acadia (now Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia). Despite the challenges of frontier life, they, like many Acadian families, contributed to the development of a unique Acadian culture.
As time passed, the Leblanc family grew, and their descendants migrated to different parts of Acadia and beyond. The Leblanc surname became widespread, embodying the enduring spirit of the Acadian people.
Tragically, during the Great Expulsion of 1755, many Acadian families, including the Leblancs, were forcibly deported by the British. Despite this adversity, some Leblancs managed to preserve their family ties and return to Acadia after the conflict, while others dispersed to various regions, including Louisiana, where Acadian exiles became known as Cajuns.
Today, the Leblanc surname remains a prominent and widespread name, not only in the Maritime provinces but also in areas influenced by Acadian migration, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of this family over the centuries. The Leblancs stand as a testament to the enduring impact of Acadian heritage on the cultural landscape of the region.

Died between 1693 and 1698
'Daniel LeBlanc, born probably at Martaize in the Loudon region of France in c1626, was a young farmer when he arrived at Port-Royal in c1645, so he was among the earliest settlers in the colony. Five years later, in c1650, he married Francoise, a young widow and the older daughter of Jean Gaudet. They 'settled on the north bank of the Port-Royal River (today the Annapolis River), to the northeast of the marsh at Bélisle, about nine miles above the fort at Port-Royal, and a half mile below the chapel of Saint-Laurent, where he died between the years 1693-98.' Daniel and Francoise had seven children, including six sons, all born at Port-Royal, five of whom created families of their own. After they took wives, the four older LeBlanc sons moved to the Minas area, where they created a large extended family. The youngest son remained on his father's lands near Port-Royal.
