Once a marshland called the Poitevin Marsh (French Marais Poitevin) is Poitou. This region is located along the Gulf of Poitou, on the west coast of France, just north of La Rochelle and west of Niort. Some French colonists, later known as Acadians, who settled in 1604 in eastern North America, came from southern Poitou. ","Located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec, Canada, Grosse Ile is one of 21 islands of the archipelago. This was one of the Canadian quarantine stations which was active from 1832 to 1937. Most Irish immigrants passed through this station in the 1840s. During its operation, almost 500,000 Irish immigrants passed through this station.",null],"lnksHoverSummaryImgURL":[null,"/cdn/webp/i/kb/200w/books.webp?pos=floatRight","/cdn/webp/i/kb/200w/castle1.webp","","",null],"mode":"f","s":"Saurin","sU":"SAVART","oC":"FR","o":"French","o2":null,"cOk":true,"c":"/dpreview/SAVART/FR/Saurin/family-crest-coat-of-arms.png","c2":"/dpreview/ANDERSON/SC/Anderson/family-crest-coat-of-arms.png","v":"1","sections":["","SettlersUS","SettlersCA","SettlersAU","SettlersNZ","SettlersZA","SettlersWI","Settlers","ContemporaryNotable","ContemporaryNotables","HistoricEvents","RelatedStories","Motto","SuggestedReading","Citations",""]}
