Special thanks to Jean-Claude Savoie, a businessman from St. Quentin, NB, who commissioned Dr. Marc Lavoie, archaeologist at St. Anne Univ. in NS to excavate two homesteads in Belleisle in 2004 and 2005 believed to be Savoie houses and possibly a Gaudet house in Belleisle in 2004 and 2005. Dr. Lavoie was also involved in the Museum of NS digs in Belleisle of 1983.  Aerial photo of the Belleisle Marsh taken in May, 2004 by Ghislain Savoie.
