BIENVENU

Bienvenu à la page Web de la famille Caissie. Nous espérons que cette visite vous fera connaître et apprécier l’histoire de notre famille. Issus d’un jeune couple établi à Beaubassin en Acadie, nous nous retrouvons aujourd’hui dans plusieurs pays et sur plusieurs continents. Que votre visite sur notre site, peu importe votre provenance, soit accompagnée de nos salutations sincères. Attardez-vous sur nos différentes pages et signez notre Guest Book. Nous apprécions tous les commentaires. 

La famille Caissie a la distinction d’être issue du premier Irlandais à s’installer en sol acadien. La famille remonte à un couple, Roger Kuessy et Marie Françoise Poirier, que l’on retrouve pour la première fois en 1671 à Port Royal, aujourd’hui Annapolis Royal, Nouvelle-Ecosse. De là, on suit ses traces jusqu’à Beaubassin et celles de ses descendants dans les villages environnants. Nous possédons quelques documents qui attestent du sort que la famille a connu au cours des déportations qui débutèrent en 1755, et qui contribuèrent à la présence des descendants Caissy à travers le monde, notamment en Amérique-du-Nord, en Australie et en Europe. Nous affichons des patronymes différents – Casey, Caissy, Caissey, Caissie, Quessy, Roger et Rogers – mais nous partageons tous l’histoire de la famille que nous voulons vous raconter sur ce site Web. 

 

 

WELCOME

Welcome to the Caissy Family Website! We hope you enjoy your visit as we gather to learn and remember our family's history. From one young couple in the village of Beaubassin,  Acadia, we have now grown to having descendants in numerous countries and continents across the globe. As you visit our site from wherever you are, please take a warm family greeting from us all! Please take the time to visit and post to our guest book, we appreciate your comments!

The Caissy family has the distinction of being the only known Irish-Acadian family to be found in the records of Acadia prior to 1755. We can trace the genesis of the family to one couple, Roger Kuessy and Marie Francoise Poirier, who are first found residing in Port Royal, today’s Annapolis Royal, in Nova Scotia. From there, we can trace their move from Port Royal to the village of Beaubassin and their descendants to other villages in the region. We have some record that bears witness to our family’s experiences through the deportations that began in 1755 and have led to the global presence of known Caissy descendants in North America, Australia and Europe. We bear differing surnames: Casey, Caissy, Caissey, Caissie, Quessy, Roger and Rogers but we all share the history of the family that this web site endeavors to tell.
