Erin,
Unfortunately, not everything is on the Internet. But it IS in books, those of which I have in my personal library that I used to compile your direct line. Some of the earlier stuff may be online, but only to about 1750. After that, one HAS to visit libraries or societies which have such sources. The Canadian 1881 census & US 1880 census (at www.familysearch.org) and the Canadian 1901 census at (www.automatedgenealogy.com) are on line, but the other American ones 1900 and later are on Ancestry and they are pay sites. Your family was in the States long before these, probably just after the Civil War.
For genealogy societies, I recommend the American-French Genealogical Society in Woonsocket, RI www.afgs.org/
and for Acadians, the Acadian Cultural Society in Fitchburg, MA www.acadiancultural.org/ In the past, I was President of both non-profit organizations at different times of course. You can visit each site online with the addresses I have provided.
As for Marie-Anne Boudrot being in Longfellow's Evangeline, I seriously doubt it, as Evangeline was a work of fiction (epic poetry). The name Marie-Anne and Boudrot were common Acadian names of the era, and he probably incorporated them as a result of that. Good luck with the rest of your lineage. Dennis
