Béliveau
Belliveau is an Acadian surname brought to North America before 1650 by Antoine Belliveau, who was among the first 50 French immigrant families to colonize Port Royal in l'Acadie ( Acadia), present day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada, in unceded Mi'kmaq territory. In the diaspora following Le Grand Dérangement (The Great Upheaval) in 1755, in which about 10,000 Acadians were imprisoned and deported by the British at the outset of the War of the Conquest ( Seven Years' War), several Belliveau descendants settled in Québec, Canada where the surname became known as Béliveau or Beliveau.
