    NAME: Her name is sometimes given by researchers as RAU, or REAU, RUAU, BREAU, even BEAU, but the only existing record giving her name is the first census of Port Royal, Acadia in 1671. There are two versions of this document, in two different handwritings, both apparently done near the same time. One is found in France, the other is in the Canadian archives. [There is also another Acadian woman in 1671 named Perrine BOURG married to René LANDRY.]

    (Port Royal, husband's entry); Listed as Perrine BOURG [sic], wife of Jean TERRIAU. No separate listing for her as an individual under BOURG. Jean was "without doubt" originally from Martaize (a footnote cites Genevieve Massignon, LES PARLERS FRANCOIS D'ACADIE, vol. 1, p. 49), in the Loudun region, department of Vienne, France. They married around 1635, arrived in Acadia around 1637. First child listed was born in 1637.

    (reference to p. 595 of Arsenault). Should be Perrine RUAU "as closely as can be determined from handwritten census, and not BOURG. (1671 census of Acadia)." Also on p. 15-16 (in reference to p. 804 in Arsenault): "Perrine BOURG should read RUAU, according to handwritten original of 1671 census [of Acadia]."

    Name spelled Perrine RUAU, born 1611. But on p. 43, says that Jean TERRIAU married Perrine BOURG [sic] (Reference: Coll. de manuscrits: I/83).
