It happened in certain areas. Same with my grandparents. Led to a lot of surnames getting anglicized too

Up in Maine a few years back my gf's last name was Thibodeau. And yes it was spelled like that.
Some of those northeastern French even look Cajun. I worked with a girl from Vermont with a French surname who had that straight black Jake Delhomme hair. She looked pretty damned Cajun, just too pale.

Not the only one. An uncle by marriage became a champion college boxer pre WWII same reason.

Its called assimilation. If you want to speak French (Spanish) and live a French (Spanish) culture, move back to France (Mexico).

When the Cajuns were exiled from Acadia, they stopped several places on the way before making it to Louisiana. Some of them escaped to other parts of the USA and stayed. There weren’t near as many anywhere else but it did happen.
The funniest story was the Cajuns tried to settle near the puritans in Mass. I can’t think of two more culturally oil and water don’t mix societies. Anyway they were kicked out in short order.

They settled in small numbers all along the east coast. Some of them never even left Acadia. They just hid. Some families went to Britain for a few years (which seems weird) before coming to Louisiana.
