Have you tried searching in Massachusetts for information pertaining to Placentia? Boston was the regional centre for the North Atlantic and the records there are quite good. The state archives has a surname index to their collection and I have looked at lists of Acadian prisoners held hostage. The rare books room at Boston Public Library has mercantile ledgers, census material, plus papers relating to Ste. Pierre & Miquelon. The Massachusetts Historical Society was records for Trinity in the late 1700s. There are other New England insitutions which have Newfoundland related documents. Little of it has been microfilmed however. A letter of introduction is required in order to examine original documents. |
