BIENVENUE/WELCOME!

The Caissie family has the distinction of being the only known Irish-Acadian family to be found in the records of Acadia prior to 1755. We can trace the genesis of the family to one couple, Roger Casey (found in the Acadian records most often as Kuessy) and Marie Françoise Poirier, first found residing in Port Royal, (Annapolis Royal) Nova Scotia. From there, we can trace their move from Port Royal to the village of Beaubassin and their descendants to other villages in the region. We have some record that bears witness to our family’s experiences through the deportations that began in 1755 and have led to the global presence of known Caissie descendants in North America, Australia and Europe. We bear differing surnames: Casey, Caissy, Caissey, Caissie, Quessy, Roger and Rogers but we all share the history of the family that this web site endeavors to tell.
