The name Doucet is an Acadian name, originating in France.

It means "sweet" or "sweetly."

Don't know where you live, but there are Doucets in New Brunswick, Canada, Boston, MA, Louisiana (cajun).

You can google "Dictionnaire des Familles Acadiens" by Stephen White and hopefully you'll find some family members!

There is a wealth of information out there about our Acadian Ancestors. If you have an idea where your line went after that nasty incident with the Brits that split up the Acadians and deported them to the American colonies, Miquelon, the Caribbean (where they eventually made it to Louisiana), Great Britain, France or Quebec, then you can pick up the trail pretty quickly.

The best general resource is the Universite de Moncton Centre d'études acadiennes. There is an English-speaking version of it, but I didn't have time to snoop for it this morning. This is the keeper of all-things Acadian. http://www.umoncton.ca/etudeacadiennes/c...
