Notes - According to the Dictionnaire Genealogique Des Familles Acadiennes (Page 418), the initial Acadian Coste is François Coste who married Madeleine Martin about 1695. The DGFA records François Coste and Madeleine Martin having 2 sons who married and had families - Jacques (dit Jacob) and Jean, as well as 2 sons for whom no wife or family is recorded - François and Pierre.
The 1752 Census of Île Royale in L'Ardoise records Jean Coste age 38 Coaster native of Port Royal, wife Madeleine Lafargue age 29 native of Petit Degra, and children François age 11, Pierre age 9, Jean age 6, Étienne age 6 months, and Genevieve age 3.
Marriages for François (to Anastasie Cyr), Pierre (to Nanette Vigneau), Jean (to Anastasie Hébert), and Étienne (to Magdeleine Hébert) are recorded in the Miquelon Parish Register between 1766 and 1777. As well, François, Pierre, Jean, and Étienne are all recorded in the 1784 Census of St. Pierre and Miquelon.
The 1752 Census of Île Royale in Port Toulouse records Jacques Coste age 47 Builder native of Port Royal, wife Françoise Petitpas age 45 native of la Cadie, and son Claude age 22.
Father Bailly's Register records baptisms for the following children of Claude Coste and Marguerite Vignot (sic) on July 26 1771 at Arichat, Isle Madame:
Jean 10 years born 15 November
Agnès 7 years born 1 April
Julienne 6 years born 6 June
Felicien 4 years born 4 April
Barbe 3 years born 23 January
According to Stephen A. White's article Fondateurs de la Paroisse d'Arichat Cap-Breton, Julienne dite Hélène Coste, daughter of Claude Coste and Marguerite Vigneau, married François Prévost about 1784.
The only Coste family contained in the Dictionnaire Genealogique Des Familles Acadiennes is François Coste and Madeleine Martin, and the DGFA only records 2 of their sons with families - Jacques (dit Jacob) and Jean. All of the known sons of Jean Coste reside in Miquelon during and after the period of Father Bailly's Register until at least 1784.
So, it is reasonable to believe Claude Coste who married Margaret Vigneau is the son of Jacques Coste and Françoise Petitpas. Claude's presence in the 1752 Census as the son of Jacques Coste and Françoise Petitpas serves as confirmation.
