Acadian-Cajun Genealogy & History is a site which in piling a book on genealogical periodical articles. The webber wanted to use a term that accurately described the people and culture. The webber had seen the word Acadian used (mainly in Canada or when referring to the Cajuns' past) and the word Cajun used (for Louisiana descendants of Acadians). But I thought both words should be used. I had seen the term Acadian/Cajun used a few times, but it seemed to me that a slash was saying "either/or". The terms are separate, but I also feel that they should be linked together. So I came up with the hyphenated Acadian-Cajun. I used that term again in my book Acadian-Cajun Genealogy in 1993. Since then, it has become the title of the largest website on the topic.
