Sue,
Doesn't seem like anyone has actually answered your question. The notation of a person in your ancestry being an Indian is just what it says, an native, non-French person. Or what now in the States we would call a Native American; I'm not sure of the current correct term in Canada. There were marriages between those of French ancestry and those of Indian ancestry in Quebec and many alliances and marriages in provinces further west. From an article I read once apparently there are more in Quebec than we realize.
My experience is limited mainly to just finding what others have already found, families in Jette and Tanguay mentioning Indian connections. However I do remember years ago a family I searched out myself. I believe the family name was Baptiste and when I traced the family back I came to an Indian. Jean Baptiste was his Christian name. In the marriage and first few children he was just that and the way the records were written it was obvious that he wasn't using a surname. Then records started to show he was using the Baptiste as his surname and the children when they married used it also. I don't believe I was able to get back farther.
Hope this helps.

Re: Descendents of Nicolas Baron-dit-Lupien
Alixis - I have quite a bit of information on the LUPIEN family and descendants of NICOLAS dit LUPIEN. Have you traced your family line back to NICOLAS. As far as I am aware, NICOLAS was the the first BARON dit LUPIEN that immigrated to the "new world" (Quebec region) in the middle 1600s. I'm in the process of collecting information on as many descendants of NICOLAS that I am able to by using the Internet. I thought it would be interesting to see how many descendants I could locate. I have no plans for my growing database other than for my own curiosity. Also, I might possibly be able help others in their research by sharing this information with other descendants. I've already learned that there are several variations of the name. Some descendants use the Lupien name, others BARON, BARRON, DUBIEN, and in my line, LUPIENT. How far back have you researched your family? It is possible that I might be able to help you but I need to know something about your family.

Re: Baron-dit-Lupien, dit-Lafrenière, dit-Bélair
If you are still looking for information on the descendents of Nicolas Baron-dit-Lupien and Marie Marthe Chauvin, from the Maskinongé area, I will gladly look it up for you. The dit names known as Lafrenière and Bélair were taken by his sons, after the death of Nicolas Baron, in Lachenaie, and the re-marriage of their mother to Jean Baptiste Fleury, in Maskinongé.
Jacques Baron married to Geneviève Petit-Bruneau took the dit name of Bélair, while Joseph Éthier-dit-Baron, natural child of Marie Marthe Chauvin and André Éthier, married to Marie Anne Lemire took on the dit name of Lafrenière.
They are also my ancestors, and it would be a pleasure to share information, should you still need it.

Re: Descendents of Nicolas Baron-dit-Lupien
Yes I do, but I have him listed as Edmund E. Lupien. I think I was given the E. middle initial from a descendant of this line who lives in Canada. However, I do not have a "James" listed as the father of Jean Baptiste (m. to Helene Marchessault.) I have as his parents, Edmund Lupien and Rosaline Lunetti. I have some reservations about my information on the exact line of ascendancy back to Nicolas. When the descendant, listed above, gave me his information, I was having a difficult time tracking the generations he gave to me back to Nicolas. He did not e-mail me back about my questions. I would be happy to create and attach a PDF file with my information on Edmund to this message but I hestitate to post data that I'm not 100% sure is correct. I could send you a PDF file to your e-mail address and then you and I could exchange e-mails about it. It's up to you if you want to share your e-mail address on a message board.
