The family arrived in Lunenburg Nova Scotia in 1753 on the ship Betsy. There was a father, Leopold Veinot, and a son, Jaques Robert Veinot. They came from Mont Belliard in France. This city is inThe Alsace region and had been ruled from time to time by German nobility. As a result many people of Mont Belliard comprised the only French-speaking Lutherans in France! The population was offered the opportunity to leave Catholic France by Britain, who had taken over the Maritimes from France and were looking for non-Catholic populace.
