No. 7. p. 306 Significant to Acadian history and genealogy research is Roderick MacKenzie's report, “List of Acadian Families lately brought in to Fort Cumberland,” 8 November, 1761, in the Amherst Papers, pp. 308-309" and his "List of Acadians inhabiting from Gaspay to Bay Berte not surrendered at Fort Cumberland," 8 November, 1761. In his letter to his superiors, MacKenzie candidly notes that the lists he provided are "exclusive of the half breed Acadian Indians, whom I don't know which side to class with, and have therefore left alone."

Bernie was 97 years old and our oldest member, nevertheless he would attend almost all annual meetings and other various AAMS functions. Bernie was old in years but young at heart; a true Acadian Metis devoted to the organization. He took pride in his ancestry and spent his retirement years weaving baskets, dream catchers and snowshoes. He was also quite skilful at making knives and carving walking sticks. "I personally knew Bernie and I know he would not want us to grieve his passing but instead, he’d want us to gather together, raise a glass high and share stories to remember him as the man he truly was; completely devoted to his family and friends and loving life. Bernie was a good man and will surely be missed." -- Alyre Theriault AAMS Vice President  From a blog we posted on February 16, 2022: "This month, we celebrate the 97th birthday of long-time AAMS member # 59, Bernie Robicheau of Meteghan. His daughter Yvelle has sent a photo of him opening his many birthday cards. We can see the one sent to him by the AAMS as well. Happy birthday to our good friend Bernie and may there be many more!"
