At http://www.lib.unb.ca/gddm/data/panb/panbweb.html I found the following, using the search term Louis:
Name: L'Antagne, Louis
Volume and Page: V. 2, pg. 68
Province: Nova Scotia
NS date: 1784-03-29
NB date: 1787-01-27
Plan: No
Acres: 600
Place: Bay of Chaleurs
County: Sunbury
Notes:
Consistency in the spelling of names was not necessary in the 1700s, and it is not unusual to find a name spelled several different ways, even within the same document and even by the person who was writing his own name. (I had tried many variations of Lanteigne, without success, and finally succeeded by doing the search on Louis. The spelling of L'Antagne never occurred to me.)
Nova Scotia was partitioned in 1784 and the province of New Brunswick was formed at that time. Land grants issued in 1784 and before had to be re-registered later in New Brunswick. This is why there are two dates.
Some grants had a plan or map of the area to be granted, but others did not.
The county of Sunbury was formed in 1785, so the land grant was not issued for that county, but it appeared on the later New Brunswick registration.
Louis was my great-great-great grandfather.
