Just posted on the other thread... "Jacquesatar (spg?)"

Round the west coast, many French descendants came from The Basques region. Locally, they are not called Acadians, but called, en Anglaise phonetics, "Jackatars". Could this be "Jacques the Sailor"?

Anyone have any info on this?

PS... Stephenville... ever driven either road from there to the T-Can in winter? Scare the crap outta ya! And I did it many, many times.

But, it was worth flying in and out. Never seen so many gorgeous blonde, redheaded women in my life. And when The Big Lad was running the kitchen at the airport... well, I became a big lad. Blondes, redheads, fries and gravy... memories.
