Vérifié le registre de Archigny. Mais je réitère que l'on doit chercher Boudot et non Baudot. La seule mention Baudot est à St-Jean-Port-Joly hors région mais version reprise par les généalogistes depuis.
Or c'est bien un René Bodeau qui épouse Marie Thérèse Daigle le 19 (non le 18) novembre 1776. l'époux a des certificats des curés de Bonneil-Matours et de La Chapelle-Moullière deux paroisses limitrophes à Archigny. Il est fils de Gabriel Bodeau et feue Jeanne Clerot(?), son père de Bonneil-Matours présent, avec Louis Doria oncle et Jacques Fauve son cousin.
Il ne semble donc pas des Bodeau=Boudot Gaspésiens.

L'épouse, Marie-Théres Daigle, est fille mineure de Francois daigle et de Jeanne Ollel(?) d'autre part, "anciens habitants d'Acadie et de cette paroisse". Le père est présent avec Marin Daigle son cousin, Dambroise Guillot aussi son cousin, et d'autres.

Dommage, ç'aurait été intéressant de trouver des traces ces Boudot déporté. Mais comme les Boudot était déjà métissés comme l'ADN l'a récemment démontré, ils n'ont sûrement pas été embarqués en 1758.

Bonjour Guy Le Bourdais,

I am descended from Catherine Le Bourdais, the younger sister of Auguste Le Bourdais (she was born in 1848). She married a Normand and moved to the United States (North Dakota). Votre livre sur le clan Le Bourdais a fait mention d'elle.

She was my great grandmother on my mother's side. Her son, my grandfather, was Alzor Auguste Normand, who had 11 children, my mother Ione being the second. Je suis une traductrice de formation et je viens de lire votre livre que j'ai commande du musee de la mer. J'aimerais ecrire quelquechose (en anglais) sur Auguste et en guise de recherche, je visites les Iles-de-la-Madeleine cet ete.

J'ai deux oncles et un cousin qui s'interessent beaucoup de cet histoire et j'aimerais les informer sur la question, vu que je suis la seule dans notre famille qui parlent le francais. Mais surtout, j'aimerais partager la vrai histoire d'Auguste avec les canadiens anglais. J'ai vecu a Montreal entre 1971 et 2002, et maintenant je reste a Ottawa.

Merci de me repondre si possible.

Je vous pris d'agreer, Monsieur, l'expression de mes sentiments les meilleurs.

Patricia Kirby

Hi Susi, never too late for more information ;) Thank you for adding to the mix, good luck finding others from Gaspe!

Since I first wrote I have found family in North Dakota by the name of Holgerson, thanks to ancestry :) Our grandmothers Julie and Elise Pederson from Nerdal/Klubben near Dalselv, Norway, were sisters.

JP, Gilles Alain dit Brière (Jean-Baptiste et inconnue) épouse en France? Marie-Thérèse Aviès -Marie-Agnès -Denise Rousseau. PRDH indique que ces femmes sont une seule et même personne. C'est monstreuse de croire que une femme portait tant des noms: Aviès, Brière, Alain, Allain, Laborde, Mallette, Maillou, Crosnier, Le Cronier, Cronier, et Côté -la folie. La piste est l'autre soeur Françoise Rousseau. C'est possible que elle a épousé Pierre LeVicaire a Pabok (vers 1740?); et François Boulet, en 2ème noce, (vers 1760?). Un petit-fils à Boulet été installé à L'Anse-au-Griffon, donc il est possible que Boulet avait de la parenté la-bas. Les soeurs Rousseau pourrait être des Gaspésiennes de naissance.
Amicalement, -Aldo

Hi,

At this period, there not many priests around. The Carleton (Tracadièche) priest was for a time the only one to service the north and South shores of baie des Chaleurs, from Percé to Caraquet.

Ste-Anne was the parish of Restigouche in the Bonaventure County, QC. St-Joseph is the parish of Carleton in Bonaventure County, QC. Dalhousie is in the Restigouche County, NB.

Go on Google map and learn about the location of these places.

I think the Meagher/Maher were moving where there was work.

Hi JP,
Your point is well taken and knowing myself that Carleton is in Quebec; I wonder why this family in 1851 residing in Dalihouse(spelling off), Restigouche County, New Brunswick would be baptizing children in Carleton? I am very cofused with this area and boundries. I have baptisims in Restigouche, Quebec, Carleton, Quebec, and parish of St. Anne, County Bonaventure, Quebec all wrapped into the same family while the 1851 census says they lived in the above location.
I would certainly appreciate any explaination on your part or your possible thoughts.
Thank you, Elizabeth

tradll1 — 2013-03-30 12:38:58Z

Bonjour,

Certains et certaines qualifient les Rousseau ayant transité par la Gaspésie et le Nouveau-Brunswick d'autochtones.

Voici ce que j'ai, je ne prétend pas avoir raison, mais je me questionne:

1) Il y a une Marie-Denise Rousseau qui épouse en 2ème noce ca 1743 Gilles Alain dit Brière(Jean-Baptiste et inconnue), veuf Marie-Thérèse Avies dans la région de Québec. PRDH #118352 nomme aussi cette dernière MARIE AGNES THERESE ROUSSEAU AVICE.

De ce premier mariage naissent au moins 6 enfants de 1735 à 1743.

Avec Marie-Denise Rousseau (aussi nommée Marie Mainé, Marie Mani, Marie Minias, Marie-Agnès Rousseau)naissent au moins 5-6 enfants de 1744 à 1750.

Gille Alain dit Brière décède avant 1751.

On retrouve Marie-Denise Rousseau mariée à Jean Cronier (inconnus) vers 1751. Ils ont au moins deux enfants qui se marient dans le comté de Bonaventure vers 1780 et 1787.

Le fils de Marie-Denise Rousseau, François Alain, né le 27 mars 1748 à Québec, épouse le 23 septembre 1776 à Paspébiac Catherine Huard (François et Geneviève Duguay).Présents: Jean Cronier, père du garçon, Marie Denise Rousseau, mère du garçon, Jacques Huard, oncle de la fille, Pierre Chapadeau, cousin de la fille. Jean Cronier est le beau-père de François Allain.

2) Le 10 octobre 1796, Joseph Duguay (Jean Marie et Anne Sareau) épouse à Paspébiac Hélène Boulet (Boulé) (François et Françoise Rousseau). Présents: Louis Huart, cousin de l'époux, Marie Rousseau femme Crosnier, tante de l'épouse, Jean Aspirost. Donc, la Marie Rousseau présente au mariage serait, Marie-Denise, la sœur de Françoise.

3) Le 14 novembre 1788, à Carleton, François Gionais (François et Marie Vicaire) épouse Marie Roussy (Léon et Anne Chapadeau. Présents: François Gionais, L. Roussy, Jean lanteigne, Pierre Gionais.

Les sources généalogiques acadiennes identifient Marie Vicaire ainsi:
Marie-Anne LeVicaire (Pîerre et Françoise Rousseau) marié ca 1762 à François Gionet né ca 1737, diocèse de Coutance, France. On qualifie Marie-Anne d'autochtone.

Aussi, il y a un livre publié sur les métis de la Baie des Chaleurs qui qualifient Marie-Denise Rousseau et Françoise Rousseau d'autochtones suite à une analyse d'ADN.

Les question à 60 000 $ sont les suivantes:

a) qui est Marie-Denise Rousseau?

b) est-ce que Marie Denise Rousseau et Marie Avice sont la même personne?

c) qui est Jean Cronier?

d) Où et quand a-t-il épousé Marie-Denise Rousseau?

e) Où et quand a eu lieu le mariage de François Boulet et Françoise Rousseau?

f) Qui sont leurs parents?

g) Où sont-ils décédés?

h) Qui est Françoise Rousseau, mère de Marie Anne LeVicaire?

i) Où et quand a-t-elle épousé Pierre LeVicaire?

J'ai toujours des doutes sur le qualificatif autochtone qu'on accole à Marie-Denise et Françoise Rousseau. Il est possible qu'elles soient les filles d'Antoine et Anne-Catherine Bouffard mariés à l'Isle-d'Orléans en 1709. Mais je ne peux le prouver en ce moment.

À vous de jouer!

BarbaraMaher100 — 2013-03-30 01:02:48Z

Hi Elizabeth

The name Maher and its variations of Mahar, Meagher is a very common Irish surname.
The info you provided does not link with my family that I can see at this time. John and Patrick were a very names, but at this time the Mahers I am following did not live in Carleton NB.
I was looking over your dates and wondering if Helene Grady had been married before. I wonder about starting a family (if her year of birth was 1788) at aged 36- that was late for women at that time, but common for Irish men.

I will keep your request for info current and if I run across any new information pass it on to you.
Regards
Barbara Maher

Re: John Maher 1793- 1868

macush11 — 2013-03-28 20:59:59Z

Barbara,
I am researching Patrick Meagher/Maher born 1787/Ireland immigrated to New Brunswick in 1828 married Helene Grady. They had 3 known children: Alice born abt 1824 married Patrick Hurley in 1840 in Carleton, Edward B:1834, Mary B: 1834, Anne B 1835 baptismal record in Carleton, Quebec
This family is living in 1851 in Restigouche County, New Brunswick.
Does any of this information sound familiar?

Thank You, Elizabeth

Re: Nerdal / Nerdahl family, Norweigan

Susihaines — 2013-03-25 16:33:28Z

Thanks again! I do have a family tree posted in the genealogy web site called "Geni." It is for the Peter Godske Brandt family, etc. Their cousin was N.C.Brun, who later in his life wrote an interesting account of the family experience in Gaspe-- or really Coin du Banc and Barachois. It is easy to find this story translated to English on the internet. Their Gaspe journey has been quite a mystery but records have been turning up to put the pieces together.

Hi again,

In Gaspé, Anglican:

Hans Christian, son of Haldor Johnson Moe and Karen, Norwegians, born on August 28th, 1862, baptised on Sep, 1oth 1862. Bt Abraham Jacobson, Norwegian missionary. Sponsors: Haaron or ?? Lund, Ole Melby, Anna Helboe??

Anthon, son of Erick Pederson and Gertrude from Drontheim, Norway, died on June 23 1862, buried on the 26th. Age not mentioned. Present: Jehan H. Koen, Andrea Jorge Brigdtsen.

In 1861, there is a Christensen buried in Gaspé, Illegible.

Ole Andreson, native of Norway, died on March 10th 1863, buried on the 21st. Present: ??? Lusen, Ole Oleson.

So, do you have a genealogy tree for these people?

Re: Nerdal / Nerdahl family, Norweigan

Susihaines — 2013-03-25 13:24:56Z

Wow! Thank you very much! I had found the birth of Gaord Brandt (2nd great uncle to me) and the Census, but never had the discipline or fact finding ability to look for the other Norwegian families. The names are quite misspelled, but with an imagination it is obvious which ones are from my clan in the census. I'm sure others with curiosity can figure it out too. It helps to know the name variations they used in Norway and the names that they converted to when they became American citizens.

Re: Nerdal / Nerdahl family, Norweigan

tradll1 — 2013-03-25 12:43:25Z

Hi,

I found these records:

Gaord Martin Christian Brandt, son of Frederick (farmer, fisherman, Norwegian of Barachois) and Clijersten Christensan, his wife, born on August 7th 1862, baptised on August 31st. Present: Thos McCallum, Cora?? McCallum.

Anne Christina Vold, daughter of Nelson and Secelie Theiros??, Norwegians from Barachois, was born on October 30th 1861, baptised on Feb. 13th 1862. Parents signed. Others signed: Nelson Closter, Andrew Closter, Erick Bery or Berg, Jacharias Thosmadson??

Chtistina Ellina Magdelena Boyeson??, daughter of Egart and Karen Ringkjos??, Norwegians from Barachois, was born on August 20th 1861, baptised on Feb. 13th 1862. The father signed, one illegible, Nelson Closter, Andrew Closter, Hatros?? E. Joneker???

Were married: Andrew Windal of New Christiania, L'Anse-au-Brian, and Martha Ericson, Norwegians, on May 21st 1862. The rest is illegible.

Married, Jacob Severson, Norwegian of Gaspé, and Ellen Henaleson??? on July 24th 1862. They both signed. Also Felicia illegible and one illegible.

In 1862, some acts are illegible.

Anna Olson, daughter of Ola and Gurs?? Anderson, Norwegian of Gaspé Basin, born Dec. 31st 1862, baptised Feb. 8th 1863. Signed Joseph and Frederick, last names illegible.

Edna Regina Olson, daughter of Surin Olson and Anna Olina Oldathor??, Norwegians of Gaspé Basin, was born Jan. 14th 1863, baptised Feb. 8th 1863. Signed Joseph and Frederick, last names illegible.

Hannah Christina, daughter of Johan Larson and Johannah Martenson, Norwegians of Barachois, was born Feb. 3rd 1863, baptised on April 1st 1863.

Several acts in 1863 concerning Norwegians illegible.

In the Malbaie 1861 census:

Hnad?? Arnesen, 27
Hannah Arnesen, 27
Peter Johnson, 36
Andrew Wilson, 30
William Wilson, 30
Over?? Peterson, 22, shoemaker

Frederick Brandt, 29
Chesten Brandt, 42
Gulbian Christopherson, 17
Celina Christopherson, 12
Peter Brandt, 3
Hannah Johnson, 16

It seems they left the region after 1863.

Re: Nerdal / Nerdahl family, Norweigan

Susihaines — 2013-03-24 17:34:44Z

This thread is a little old, but I'll try to reply anyway. My ancestors came through Gaspe/Malbay in 1860-1862. Since they were there in January 1861 they are listed in the Quebec census from that year. My ancestors came from the Lofoten Islands and Sor Trondelag, and they made their way to Wisconsin and Minnesota. I've been to Gaspe to explore -- it is obvious that they had a difficult time with the land available to them. The Canadian government found the land records and sent us maps so we were able to locate the exact property, given the help of some very nice locals. Today there is no one living on the property, or anywhere near it! We found one birth/baptism record during that time from the Methodist Church in Gaspe. There is a history professor from Minnesota who is writing a new book on the Norwegian - Canada Immigration period, and hopefully it will be out in a few years, and should include some information on the subject. The names of my ancestors include Peter, Ludvig and Fredrick Brandt - 3 brothers and their families. I'd be really interested to connect with any of the other Gaspe Settlement families!

Re: Ascah

ehrandomhat — 2012-12-21 01:07:28Z

Are you a direct male descendent of Richard Ascah, and if so have you ever considered doing the Y-DNA test through FamilyTreeDNA? With a 37-marker test (or greater) it might just break down that brick wall and make the connection to whatever family Richard originally came from. I wish I could take the test myself, but I'm a female descended in a haphazard way from him. :) I'd love to start an Ascah surname project over at FTDNA but so far no Ascahs seem interested in genetic genealogy. I'm going to Gaspe next summer, so I'll have to look for the house.

Hi there
I am a distant relative of the Kennedys- Charles Xavier Kennedy (born about 1849 in Douglatown) married my great grandfther's sister, Louisa Trudell. I am a Trudell in Massachusetts. Charles nd Louisa had 10 children, most descendants now living in major cities in Canada, like Montreal. There is a Douglastown website run by one guy and it has a ton of information. I don't have the website off hand but it comes easy on web search for historical Douglastown. He's even got lots of really old pictures.

John Maher 1793- 1878

BarbaraMaher100 — 2012-11-24 15:32:56Z

I am researching the Maher family; John Maher was my ggg grandfather. I have found him among public member records in several cases which lists his father as William Maher and mother Catherine Hannell.
He is listed as being born -Liverpool- Ireland? And his death in Douglastown Gaspe Quebec (accurate)
Several of the records indicate a wife named Catherine Hanley and second wife of Roseann McGrath (Canada).
This is where the mystery and confusion starts.
My ggg grandfather was born in Ireland- (Liverpool is in the UK- we believe he was born in the either Kilarney or Tipperary) His wife was listed as a Kennedy who died in crossing(ca 1825) He is listed on early Census 1831 in Perce with 2 children no spouse
He married Roseanne in Canada(1835) and had several more children.
Question- I believe the truth is a combination of the both sides. I have asked several people if they would share where they obtained their info- none have replied.
What can I do- Do you have the answer- will you share

Thank you for your time

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated

I have never seen the spelling of Ascah as Asketh - I have seen Aska, and some people question Asca. The handwriting on the wedding papers is a little hard to make out - but we have been going with Ascah for as far back as I can research - when I have time.

Ascah

b7732 — 2012-11-15 20:22:28Z

As a direct descendant I can tell you that Richard came from God only knows where, landed in the northern states, and moved north. He married in NS as mentioned, and then fought for the king of England at the Plains of Abraham. For his efforts he was awarded the land at the end of the Gaspe Pen., bay side. The remnants of the original stone house can still be found, next to the cemetery - if it has not finished falling into the bay yet - I have not been home in twelve years, so I am not sure what state it foundation is in.

Kennedy family in Douglas Township Gaspé Quebec Canada East?

guess98224 — 2012-10-31 03:41:19Z

I have tried for 5 years to find out where my gg gf John Kennedy and his son, my g gf, William (1840 - 31 Mar 1927,) were born. On William's death certificate it states he was born in Nfld, and so was his father John. However, I cannot find them anywhere.

I keep coming back to an 1860 Canadian Census for Lower Canada East in the township of Douglas in the county of Gaspé. It lists a John Kennedy (b 1816) and his son William Kennedy (b 1840) who were fishermen. The birthdates are about right for my Kennedy's. I beginning to wonder if is possible that William Kennedy eventually went to Cat's Cove, Nfld, and started his family there.

Does anyone know anything about the Gaspé Kennedy's?

Re: John Maher 1793- 1868

BarbaraMaher100 — 2012-10-28 23:15:31Z

Hello JP

I am descended from John Maher, married to Roseann, their son Peter Married to Catherine White who had many children, one of which was my grandfather Charles born 1880.

The information you provided I did have most of these relationships....does anyone know where in Ireland the Mahers came from

Is there some documentation that shows John and James were brothers or not. As I mentioned in my opening post- on several public member trees a John Maher 1793-1868 (death in Douglastown) is listed. They also list William Maher as the father and have at least one to two more generations of family- but as of yet no one has responded to my query about what documents they have to have made these connections.

Have you been researching for a long time. Our family still has a summer residence on some of the property originally owned by John Maher. It is interesting to see how far the descendants have moved from the original areas of Ireland and eastern Canada.

Thank you for your speedy response
Barbara

Hessian soldiers settling Gaspesie

Samuel Gessler, Brunswick troops, born Sangerhausen, Hesse, age 24 years, 11 months, discharged in Canada 1783. Has Gessler been identified? Is Gessler a possible candidate for Jean Samuel, or has Gessler been traced elsewhere?

Re: Is there any local information about the failed Norwegian Settlement of 1860-62?

Aldo10 — 2012-10-05 21:08:08Z

Your reply is informative. The Malbaie Township today falls under Perce, MRC Rocher Perce. North Range refers to a concession not along the sea, but hinterland, say, behind the first range of land lots on the coastal road. The plan was not well formed, the area for the land lots was uncleared woodland, hard to access from the Gulf. Land settlement schemes sometimes have daunting, almost insurmountable, barriers to challenge. The Gaspe Norwegian settlers went on to Minnesota or Wisconsin, documentation if any survives, could be buried in the Robin, Jones & Whitman Co. Papers, Ottawa, although the Fauvel family of Jersey, CI, and residing at Pointe St Pierre, later proprietors of the LeBoutillier Brothers Company of Jersey, CI, possibly initiated the scheme with the help of a local Crown land agent who sold "wasteland" or bush uncleared and unpatented. Finding more original records will enlargen our understanding of what went wrong. -Aldo

Re: Is there any local information about the failed Norwegian Settlement of 1860-62?

Susihaines — 2012-10-04 01:13:14Z

I'm not quite sure what you are asking for. As far as I know the families scattered. My family -- Brandt and Brun -- went to the Norwegian settlement in Bury/Sherbrooke for a short time after Gaspe, and then to Dunn County, Wisconsin, or Chicago, Illinois. Within a few years some settled in Western Minnesota. They seemed to go to places where other Norwegian's from their home regions were settling. The Brandt family has flourished! We have lost touch with the Brun family.

The best personal record of their time in Gaspe is from N.C.Brun, published in a book called Symra. Translated english versions of his story are reprinted in several places on internet genealogy sites. It is titled "My First Years in Canada." N.C. Brun became a Lutheran pastor and traveled at least within Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Saskatchewan.

There is a census report from 1861 where some Norwegian families are listed. I am curious to know if the Protestant churches have records of deaths from the settlers. We have the land record from the Township of Malbaie, listing the name of Ludvig Brandt at lot 2 Malbaie Range North. We believe that on this lot lived 3 brothers (each with a wife and family), their 2 younger sisters, and their mother (their father died on the boat from Norway). The Brun family apparently lived several miles away.

There are not passenger lists for the ships that they came on, just a few names listed in the Norwegian newspapers when the boats were sailing. The immigration books discuss the promoters of the colony, but do not mention any names of the settlers.

Re: Is there any local information about the failed Norwegian Settlement of 1860-62?

Aldo10 — 2012-10-03 23:26:18Z

I would appreciate any corrigenda to data on the website. There are some names like Anderson, Johnson, Nold, Olson, which may relate to the Norwegian settlement. We have not co-ordinated data on these people in the Gaspe, is there a store of data on the settlers once they establish in the west?

Susihaines — 2012-09-07 22:05:51Z

Thank you very much for your reply. I have already found a birth record,on the web site you recommended, from my ancestors. We thought this boy had been born on their travels away from Gaspe, but there it is --another piece of the puzzle.

Re: Is there any local information about the failed Norwegian Settlement of 1860-62?

Aldo10 — 2012-09-07 20:52:12Z

Hello, Your query is quite important in the social history of the Gaspe. Welcome to the General Board. Norwegians were recruited to assist in the salmon fishery, as the Norwegian people are renowned for their knowledge of curing salmon. As the Norwegians were of the Lutheran confession, in the Malbay Anglican register they do appear at the brief window. The land allocated to the Norwegian settlers would seem to have been ill chosen, being inland between the Saint John River and the Malbaie River, much too remote to be practical. Several of the colonists died in that first year. The only sensible solution was for the remainder to relocate to the west where their brethren were established. We have a small amount of information on the Norwegians on the Gaspe Roots website bakerchild at tribalpages.com

Is there any local information about the failed Norwegian Settlement of 1860-62?

Susihaines — 2012-09-07 15:34:53Z

I am curious to learn about any local information regarding the failed Norwegian settlement at Gaspe - Coin du Banc, during 1860-62. I was recently in Coin du Banc and didn't meet anyone with any memory of the settlement, except for one man that remembered a road/trail from Douglastown into the forest nicknamed "the Norwegian road". The Canadian Government arranged for a group of more than 100 settlers to buy land in the forest. However the conditions were very difficult and promises were not kept, as the story goes, so "all" of the families apparently left in 1862. My ancestors were part of the Brandt and Brun families that attempted to settle with this group. They ended up in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Hi Dennis,
Refer to 1901 Census Gaspe 154 Page 7, family 56 Vibon Leblanc
Some time after the 2011 census the Lejeune family moved from Westville to Inverness ,Nova Scotia. My Great Aunt, #41 is Married to Steve Romard and gives Birth to a daughter , Beth in Inverness in 1922. My Grand Mother #37, Marie gives birth to 2 sons and a daughter. She dies in Inverness in 1929.
Somewhere around 1932-1934 Constant Lejeune ( I believe that he is no longer with his wife at this time), Joseph Lejeune with family 2 sons and a daughter(my mother), Steve Romard with family, and Marguerite Leblanc (now Gaudet) #32 all move to Lingan Nova Scotia. 3 homes are built on land purchased from “Jim Mahon”. I was born (1947) and grew up on Mahon Road in Lingan, Nova Scotia.

Thanks for all your work.
John
