[This list has only just begun.]
Please note: The family names in CAPITAL letters are the ones that ended up in Louisiana as a result of the Grand Derangement (individuals with # next to their names settled in Louisiana). The source for these marriages is the standard work on Acadian genealogy, White, DGFA-1, which is organized alphabetically by surname, so page numbers are not needed here; Arsenault, Généalogie, is used only as a supplement (indicated by *). Only the Acadian marriages in White are listed here. As you can see, settlement locations are not limited to peninsula Acadia but include all of greater Acadia--present-day Nova Scotia, including Cape Breton Island (called Île Royale by the French), Prince Edward Island (called Île St.-Jean by the French), New Brunswick, Maine, the Gaspé Peninsula of Québec Province, and eastern and southern Newfoundland. In 1710, the British renamed Port-Royal, the capital of French Acadia, Annapolis Royal, here abbreviated as Ann. Royal.
