Hi, I can not tell how happy I am to find someone else interested in hits family. I do know that Antoine - the elder came from Quercy, which is an old department of Lot France. I have hit nothing but brick walls in finding more. I am unsure of the original spelling, the name varies from Boutari to Boutary to Boutairie to it's current Bouterie. I can not find any spelling close on any of the censuses of the Acadians in Acadia, or any ship's manifest, except to LA. I spoke to someone on the message board recommended but they told me without a town, they could not. I am unsure when Antoine died or is buried, St Joseph's in Thib. wasn't started until after he would have died. I have banged my head trying to get past him to no avail My email is
coyle1152@gmail.com if you would like to talk more.
