One of the few Acadians whose origins is known, but Conflans-en-Brie or Brye is hard to find on an atlas.

Another version is Couperans-en-brie.

The closest I could come in Encarta interactive atlas, which can find anything, is Conflans-sur-Seine, in Champaign.

Germain married Marie BOURGEIOS about 1620 in France. (Marie BOURGEIOS was born about 1620 in France.)
