Catherine Hébert, Philippe’s widow, and her children had moved from Mines Bay to Île Royale (Cape Breton) in 1714. During the Deportation of 1755, the descendants of Philippe Pinet were settled in Île Royale and Île Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Island), where many Acadians had taken refuge. In 1756, the population of Île Saint-Jean exceeded 4,400. Poverty was soaring. French governor Villejoin encouraged the departure of 700 to 800 Acadians to France (La Rochelle) and 1,000 to Quebec. Among those who went to Quebec, we find Pierre Pinet, ancestor of the vast majority of Acadians Pinet.
In the summer of 1758, Louisbourg, the last French stronghold in the region falls to English forces, and follows, the deportation of the Acadians from Île Royale and Île Saint-Jean. Between the Fall of 1758 and the Spring of 1759, over 3,500 Acadians from Île Saint-Jean are forced to embark on nine frigates and are deported to England. Three of these vessels, the Duke William, the Ruby and the Violet are lost at sea. Nearly 1,000 Acadians perish. Many are descendants of Philippe Pinet (see below). Others die victims of epidemics. The survivors, prisoners in England, are transported to France after the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Some later returned to Louisiana and Canada.
DEPORTED FROM ÎLE SAINT-JEAN (PEI) to Europe
Antoine Pinet’s family (son Philippe and Catherine Hébert)
Françoise Pinet (Antoine’s daughter) wife of Charles Bouillé - Her name was on the list of Acadians who arrived at La Rochelle in 1759. She died at Rochefort on August 7th 1762 at 53 years old.

Jean-Baptiste Pinet (Noël’s son) husband of Jeanne Isabelle Pilon - This family is in Saint-Pierre-du-Nord, Île Saint-Jean in 1758. There is no mention of Jean-Baptiste and children Charles, Jean-Baptiste, Rosalie, Pierrette and Michel in the 1761 census. As for his son Basile, he is mentioned in the census for Cherbourg, France in 1761. It is very probable that the family was deported. Jean-Baptiste’s wife, Jeanne, remarried to Joseph Grandbois around 1770.
Brigitte Pinet (Noël’s daughter) wife of Martin Percheron - Her name was on the list of Acadians who arrived in Saint-Malo, France in 1759 (age 41).

Charles is mentioned in the census for Cherbourg in 1772 (age 40). In 1785, on the list of passengers of the frigate l’Amitié on route to Louisiana from LaRochelle, France we find the names of Charles and Anne-Marie and their three children: Louis, Marie-Modeste (her husband, Jean-Charles Haché) and Marie-Madeleine. The other living children have remained in France. Louis married Anne-Blanche Vincent in New Orleans. They had 7 children who settled in Louisiana.

Marie-Thérèse Vianot (Vienneau), mother of New Brunswick Pinets (ca. 1740 - 1817)
Research and writing
Céline Pinet
Marie-Thérèse was born circa 1740 in France, the eldest child of Michel Vianot and Thérèse Baude from Saint-Martin de Bollene, France. Michel worked as a winemaker with his parents and Thérèse was shepherdess.
Michel and Thérèse were married around 1739. By 1750 several families, including that of Michel Vianot, left France in search of a promised land in Île Royale (Cap Breton), Acadia. The climate of uncertainty prevailing in Acadia is probably the reason why the ship transporting them did not make its way to Louisbourg but stopped in Maine for supplies and made a long detour to the St. Lawrence River towards Quebec City. The passengers landed there after several months of sailing. The family stayed in Quebec City for five or six years before relocating to Saint-Charles-de-Bellechasse where Michel was responsible for the maintenance of a grain mill. They had several children during this period.
It was in Saint-Charles-de-Bellechasse, that Pierre Pinet, a widower for eight months, married Marie-Thérèse on October 30th 1758. She was 18 years old. Pierre and Marie-Thérèse had 6 children before 1770. Three died as babies. On June 14th 1769, Michel, the last child of Michel and Thérèse, was buried in Quebec. Shortly after, the Vienneau family, accompanied by Pierre and Marie-Thérèse and their three children, left for Acadia. They settled on the banks of the St. John River (now Magerville to 14 miles from Fredericton). Five children were added to the Pinet family during their 18 year stay in that region. On July 1786, Pierre obtained a permit to settle in Upper Caraquet and April 27th 1787, Pierre, his son, Dominique and 10 others received a grant of 2,972 acres in Upper-Caraquet (Bertrand). They are the pioneers of that village.
Pierre was about 57 years when he moved to Bertrand in 1787. He died before his daughter Euphrosine’s wedding in 1792. Marie-Thérèse died on May 1817 at 77 years old.

General meeting of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie held in Bertrand, September 22, 2007
Minutes
12: 00 am - Doors Open: Welcome and socializing
1: 00 pm - Access to a genealogy area
The genealogical charts of the descendants of the family of Philippe Pinet and Catherine Hebert and those of Pierre Pinet and Marguerite Michaud, mounted by Céline Pinet, are available for consultation.
2: 00 pm – General meeting of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie under the chairmanship of Léo-Paul Pinet
Thirty-seven people in attendance
- Welcome
Leo-Paul welcomed everyone. He reviewed the steps taken so far. Nine working meetings already took place.
2004 → November 21, December 5;
2005 → May 15, November 27;
2006 → May 27, August 19, October 14;
2007 → March 18, June 24.
At the first meeting, on November 21, 2004, a brainstorming session led to the organisation of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie which aims to reunite Pinet / Pinette family members at the Congrès mondial acadien 2009, held in the Acadian Peninsula.
For this general meeting of Association four important points have been considered:
1- The history of Pinet / Pinette family genealogy – Where do we come from?
It is necessary to consider, among other things, the genealogy of the Pinet family to find our roots, Céline Pinet explained. She has been researching family history for over 25 years. Her sources are diverse: censuses, religious and civil records, obituaries, publications, including those by Stephen White and Fidèle Thériault, interviews, the Internet…
Two families must be considered: descendants of Philippe Pinet and Catherine Hebert of Acadie and those of Pierre Pinet and Marguerite Michaud of Quebec. Each participant received a document which briefly summarizes the origins of both Pinet families. This is a bit of information that allows each participant to reflect on his or her genealogical roots.
2-Actions taken to form the Association – evaluate our progress- Where are we now?
Léo-Paul briefly summarizes where we stand. A working tool as transparent as possible has been developed, a Web site (Pinet.genacadie.ca). Gilles Pinet briefly explains the structure of the site in question. Before turning to the next point, Léo-Paul Pinet mentions among other things that efforts are made to locate the stone that served as the door sill of Pierre Pinet’s house.
Rules and regulations - referring to the document in question, Léo-Paul Pinet reviewed the components and the work done so far in terms of the Rules and Regulations.
Having a membership card means membership in the Association des Pinet / Pinette d'Acadie .
Potential members should have a genealogical link with Philippe Pinet husband of Catherine Hebert or have a patronymic link to Philippe Pinet husband of Catherine Hebert.
The election procedure… The following positions need to be filled: President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Anybody who is a member of the Association, is eligible for a position. Proposals for nomination for each position will be accepted. If more than one nomination for a designated post, there will be elections.
Election president, proposed by Gilles Pinet - Mr Jules Pinet. Jules accepts. For each of the positions to be filled, following a first nomination, the election president will invite the assembly to submit additional nominations. If there are no other nominations, the candidate proposed will be declared elected.
Election:
For the post of President: nominated by Francine Arseneau - Léo-Paul Pinet, supported by Jeannine Pinet. No other nominations. Léo-Paul accepts.
For the post of Vice-President: nominated by Angèle Godin - Mildred Pinet, supported by Robert Pinet. No other nominations. Mildred accepts.
For the post of Secretary: nominated by Rodrigue Léger - André Pinet, supported by Marcel Arseneau. No other nominations. André accepts.
For the post of Treasurer: nominated by Roger Pinet - Céline Pinet, supported by Roger Hachey. No other nominations. Céline accepts.
Following the election of members of the Board of Directors, Léo-Paul mentions that an upcoming meeting will be held next November. Non-elected members will be asked to join the Board of Directors to perform the various tasks in preparation for 2009. So, at the next meeting all those who were part of the organizing committee will be invited. Advisors will be those people who wish to accept the tasks assigned by the Board of Directors. In this sense, the advisors will play a leading role in assisting members of the Board of Directors in the exercise of their functions.
3-Unveiling the logo of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie
Mrs. Jeannine Arseneau presents the logo chosen by the working commitee. There was discussion as to whether there was a need to add "Pinette" to the logo. Mrs Arseneau explains that up to the deportation of 1755, the name was spelled "Pinet"; parish registers confirmed. After explanations, the name "Pinet" is maintained.
The logo is accepted unanimously as presented. A letter of thanks will be sent to Ms. Guylaine Bégin.
4-En route to the large gathering of 2009 - Where are we going?
The grand gathering of Pinet / Pinette of Acadie will be held on August 13th and 14th 2009 at École Ola-Leger in Bertrand, NB. This activity will be part of the vast canvas of "Grand Gatherings" and in this sense will have to follow certain guidelines. Léo-Paul paints a picture of what's happening in the organisation of the Congrès mondial acadien. Finally, postcard bearing the name Pinet are available, each participants gets one.
3: 15 pm – Closing activity – informal discussions, genealogy accompanied by a snack.

- Welcome
Leo-Paul welcomed everyone. He reviewed the steps taken so far. Nine working meetings already took place.

2005 → May 15, November 27;
2006 → May 27, August 19, October 14;
2007 → March 18, June 24.
At the first meeting, on November 21, 2004, a brainstorming session led to the organisation of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie which aims to reunite Pinet / Pinette family members at the Congrès mondial acadien 2009, held in the Acadian Peninsula.
For this general meeting of Association four important points have been considered:
1- The history of Pinet / Pinette family genealogy – Where do we come from?
It is necessary to consider, among other things, the genealogy of the Pinet family to find our roots, Céline Pinet explained. She has been researching family history for over 25 years. Her sources are diverse: censuses, religious and civil records, obituaries, publications, including those by Stephen White and Fidèle Thériault, interviews, the Internet…
Two families must be considered: descendants of Philippe Pinet and Catherine Hebert of Acadie and those of Pierre Pinet and Marguerite Michaud of Quebec. Each participant received a document which briefly summarizes the origins of both Pinet families. This is a bit of information that allows each participant to reflect on his or her genealogical roots.
2-Actions taken to form the Association – evaluate our progress- Where are we now?
Léo-Paul briefly summarizes where we stand. A working tool as transparent as possible has been developed, a Web site (Pinet.genacadie.ca). Gilles Pinet briefly explains the structure of the site in question. Before turning to the next point, Léo-Paul Pinet mentions among other things that efforts are made to locate the stone that served as the door sill of Pierre Pinet’s house.
Rules and regulations - referring to the document in question, Léo-Paul Pinet reviewed the components and the work done so far in terms of the Rules and Regulations.
Having a membership card means membership in the Association des Pinet / Pinette d'Acadie .
Potential members should have a genealogical link with Philippe Pinet husband of Catherine Hebert or have a patronymic link to Philippe Pinet husband of Catherine Hebert.
The election procedure… The following positions need to be filled: President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Anybody who is a member of the Association, is eligible for a position. Proposals for nomination for each position will be accepted. If more than one nomination for a designated post, there will be elections.
Election president, proposed by Gilles Pinet - Mr Jules Pinet. Jules accepts. For each of the positions to be filled, following a first nomination, the election president will invite the assembly to submit additional nominations.

Following the election of members of the Board of Directors, Léo-Paul mentions that an upcoming meeting will be held next November. Non-elected members will be asked to join the Board of Directors to perform the various tasks in preparation for 2009. So, at the next meeting all those who were part of the organizing committee will be invited. Advisors will be those people who wish to accept the tasks assigned by the Board of Directors. In this sense, the advisors will play a leading role in assisting members of the Board of Directors in the exercise of their functions.
3-Unveiling the logo of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie
Mrs. Jeannine Arseneau presents the logo chosen by the working commitee. There was discussion as to whether there was a need to add "Pinette" to the logo. Mrs Arseneau explains that up to the deportation of 1755, the name was spelled "Pinet"; parish registers confirmed. After explanations, the name "Pinet" is maintained.
The logo is accepted unanimously as presented. A letter of thanks will be sent to Ms. Guylaine Bégin.
4-En route to the large gathering of 2009 - Where are we going?
The grand gathering of Pinet / Pinette of Acadie will be held on August 13th and 14th 2009 at École Ola-Leger in Bertrand, NB. This activity will be part of the vast canvas of "Grand Gatherings" and in this sense will have to follow certain guidelines. Léo-Paul paints a picture of what's happening in the organisation of the Congrès mondial acadien. Finally, postcard bearing the name Pinet are available, each participants gets one.
3: 15 pm – Closing activity – informal discussions, genealogy accompanied by a snack.
