Yes. Bob LeBlanc and I, Rob White, (dit LeBlanc) are part of the Acadian clan from Nova Scotia, the story of Evangeline and the dispersal of the Acadians during the 1750s. Bob and I met via my homepage and have been corresponding ever since. He and his kids came down to visit several times. It seems as if our DNAs might not even be close, as of this writing, but we've developed a strong friendship none the less. I suspect that blood isn't everything.
