    addendum:Histoire acadienne de la famille
    D?après Léopold Lanctôt o.m.i., selon toute probabilité, Anthoine vint en Acadie en 1632, avec le commandeur Isaac de Razilly, qui amenait « 300 hommes d'élite », dont une douzaine de familles. Anthoine Bourg devait être accompagné de son père Simon Bourg, de sa mère Hélène Comtée et d?une s?ur Perrine Bourg. Port-Royal étant encore occupé par une petite garnison écossaise, la recrue est débarquée à La Hève, au sud de la presqu?île acadienne.
    En 1636, la famille Bourg déménagera à Port-Royal, qui a été rendu à la France, entre- temps Charles de Menou d?Aulnay, qui a succédé au commandeur de Razilly, ne laisse que quelques colons à La Hève. En 1641, il épousera à Port-Royal, Anthoinette Landry née en France vers 1618, arrivée en Acadie en 1640 sur le bateau «Le Saint-Françoys ou le Saint-Jean» avec son père Jean-Claude Landry et sa deuxième épouse, Marie Sallée ainsi que sept autres membres de sa famille.
    Anthoine Bourg s?établit sur la Rive-Nord de la rivière du Port-Royal. Son nom est donné au Village du Bourg situé au nord-ouest du fort de Port-Royal. Onze enfants naîtront de leur union. En 1687, Anthoine Bourg sera au nombre des «vieux habitants du pays» qui déclareront avoir été témoins des travaux de Charles de Menou, lieutenant de Razilly. Au recensement de 1693, Anthoine Bourg est décédé; Anthoinette Landry demeure avec le plus jeune de ses fils, Abraham. Au recensement de 1698, Anthoinette est décédée.
    Selon Monseigneur Louis Richard, les Bourg déjà divisés en cinq familles différentes de la seconde génération auraient dû être très nombreux à l?époque de la dispersion. Cependant, les générations suivantes ne se développèrent pas dans une aussi grande proportion. Le recensement de 1714 nous fait constater qu?il y a quatre Bourg à Port- Royal, six à Cobequid, un aux Mines et deux à Beaubassin. À Port-Royal, ce sont les familles de Bernard et d?Abraham; à Cobequid, ce sont celles de Jean et de Martin; à
    Beaubassin, c?est le fils et le petit-fils de François. En 1728, il y avait deux Bourg émigrés à l?Ile Saint-Jean, Michel et Charles.

    It has not been possible to determine whether there was a family relationship between Antoine Bourg and Perrine Bourg, wife of Simon Pelletret and René Landry. It appears that they were not brother and sister.

    5 Oct 1697: Antoine Bourg made his mark on an attestation in favor of the accomplishments of Governor d'Aulnay; he had thus arrived in Acadia before 1650, the year of d'Aulnay's death.?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Acadian history of the family
    According to Leopold Lanctot oM.i., in all probability, Anthoine came to Acadia in 1632, with the commander Isaac de Razilly, who brought "300 elite men", including a dozen families. Anthoine Bourg was to be accompanied by his father Simon Bourg, his mother Hélène Comtée and a sister Perrine Bourg. Port-Royal being still occupied by a small Scottish garrison, the recruit is disembarked at La Hève, south of the Acadian peninsula.
    In 1636, the Bourg family moved to Port-Royal, which was returned to France, meanwhile Charles de Menou Aulnay, who succeeded the commander of Razilly, leaves only a few settlers in La Hève. In 1641, he married in Port-Royal, Anthoinette Landry born in France around 1618, arrived in Acadia in 1640 on the boat "Saint-Françoys or Saint-Jean" with his father Jean-Claude Landry and his second wife, Marie Sallée and seven other members of her family.
    Anthoine Bourg settles on the North Shore of the Port-Royal River. His name is given at Village du Bourg, located northwest of Fort Port-Royal. Eleven children will be born from their union. In 1687, Anthoine Bourg will be among the "old inhabitants of the country" who claim to have witnessed the work of Charles de Menou, lieutenant of Razilly. At the 1693 census, Anthoine Bourg died; Anthoine Landry lives with the youngest of her sons, Abraham. At the census of 1698, Anthoinette died.
    According to Monsignor Louis Richard, Bourg already divided into five different families of the second generation should have been very numerous at the time of the dispersion. However, subsequent generations did not develop in such a large proportion. The census of 1714 shows us that there are four towns at Port Royal, six at Cobequid, one at Mines, and two at Beaubassin. In Port Royal, they are the families of Bernard and Abraham; at Cobequid they are those of John and Martin; at
    Beaubassin is the son and grandson of François. In 1728, there were two Bourg émigrés on Ile Saint-Jean, Michel and Charles
