Biography ==NOTICE: this profile is protected by the Acadian Project because of frequent duplication. Please contact the Acadian Project before making any substantive changes. Thanks for helping make WikiTree the best site for accurate information.

Rene Forest was born January 11, 1670 (another unsourced profile merged with this one reported 1620 as the birth year, however, this date seems extremely unlikely to be accurate based on sources and the date ofdeath)≤ref>I have no source for the exact date... please add it if you do≤/ref> in Nova Scotia.≤sup>1,2≤/sup> to Michel Forest and Marie Hebert. The following year, the 1671Acadian Census found them in Port Royal.:Michel de FOREST-33, wife Marie HEBERT-20, Their children: Michel-4, Pierre-2, and Rene-1. They are working 2 arpents of land and have 12 cattle and 2 sheep.≤sup>3≤/sup>
By the time of the 1678 Acadian Census, Marie Hebert has passed away. This particular census gives the gender and ageof the children, but not the names. However, this has been correlated by Rev. Clarence J. d'Entremont.: Michel Forest, widower; 4 boys: Michel-12, Pierre-10, Rene-8, nameleft blank≤ref>Estimated year of birth/age correlate best with Jean Baptiste Forest≤/ref>-3; 2 girls: Gabrielle-6, Marie-4. He owns 4 acres≤ref>Unclear why acres are used here and not arpents like in other censuses≤/ref>, 3 cows & 2 calves plus 1 gun≤sup>4≤/sup>
In 1686 ≤sup>5≤/sup> Rene's father, Michel married again. This time toJacqueline Benoit. It must have been very odd for Rene (and all of his siblings) as Jacqueline Benoit was only 13 years old at the time.... three years younger than Rene!

The 1686 Acadian Census of Port Royal reveals this::Michel DEFOREST 47, Jacqueline BENOIST 13; Children of the first wife: Michel 19, Pierre 18, Rene 16, Gabriel 13, Marie 11, Jean-Baptiste9. They own 1 gun, 5 arpents of land, 8 sheep, and 4 hogs.≤sup>6≤/sup>
Based on the approximate year of their first child's birth ≤sup>7≤/sup>, Rene married Francoise Dugas about 1696. Two years later, at the time of the 1698 Acadian Census they have begun their family: :Rene FOREST 28, Francoise DUGAS (wife) 20, Marie 2, and Marguerite 1. The have 18 cattle, 22 sheep, 2 hogs, 16 arpents of land, 40 fruit trees, and 2 guns.≤sup>7≤/sup>
Their family doubled in size by the time of the 1701 Acadian Census: :Rene FOREST 31, Francoise DUGAS (wife) 22; Joseph FOREST 3, Francois 1, Marie FOREST 5, and Marguerite 4. They own 1 gun, 12 cattle, 18 sheep, 3 hogs, and 6 arpents of land.≤sup>8≤/sup>
By the 1703 Acadian Census they have four sons and four daughters with one person in the household (Rene, no doubt) being capable of bearing arms.≤sup>9≤/sup> and they remain in Port Royal at the time of the 1707 Acadian Census when the couple have: :4 boys less than 14 years old, 2 girls less than 12 years old, 8 arpents of land, 14 cattle, 24 sheep, 15 hogs, and 1 gun.≤sup>10≤/sup> They have five boys and five girls by the time of the 1714 Acadian Census. No additional information appears on that census.≤sup>11≤/sup>

Rene died April 20, 1751 and was buried the next day.≤sup>12≤/sup>
