Personal Information | Sources | All | PDF

Name	Jean Arsenault
Born	1729	Beaubassin [1, 2]
	Arsenault Dictionary states that he could have been born in Beaubassin or Malpec. But Bona Arsenault states that Jacques Arsenault (Jean's father) settled in Malpeque around 1740 so I think that Jean was most likely born in Beaubassin.
Gender	Male
Residence	1750	ile Saint Jean [3]
Census	1752	Malpec, Ile St.Jean [4]
Died	Bef 1860 [5]
	I presume the Araenault dictionary states that he died before 1760 because they found only his wife on the 1860 Restigouche census.
