Hi my name is Joseph Choquette son of Gerald Choquette and grandson to Paul Choquette. I have been told we are decendants from Canada. In fact as a younger boy, I remember my grandfather who has since passed telling me that his great great uncle was Mayor of Quebec. I'm desparately trying to piece together my family tree, but I can go back no further than my Granfather, can you help?

Where is your Paul Choquette from? I have a relative with the same name which is my grandmothers brother. He lives in Chicago, IL I believe. Married to Bev Choquette

My Choquette line does a disapearing act in the mid 19th
century. My Ambroise Choquette married Henriette Blais
in Woonsocket. Did this guy go back to Quebec ? If so,
then there appears to be a succesion of Ambroise (3) and
a possible second wife for him. The given names that you
speak of are in keeping with naming trends of the time and
happen to appear many times in my Canadiens.

hello my 9th great grandfather was Nicolas came to Quebec as a solider in the Regiment de Carignan in the 1660's to protect colonists from the indians. After his tour of military duty ended , he accepted an offer to stay in New France and settle. He was awarded a land grant of 110 acres on the Ile Sainte Therese in St. Lawerence River at the eastern end of the Island of Montreal; he established the town of Varennes.
"The Regiment had, however not yet all arrived. That protion led by Colonel de Sallieres himself did not come til August 18th or 19th, while the last companies reached New France with de Courcelles and Talon on September 12th. These later added to the loves glory, forgot nothing which could do honour to the king." At last the numbers were complete, but not many were put into hospitals, sick from disease and from the long voyage, which had taken M. Talon's party 117 days at sea. This sickness was one of the reasons which delayed the war against the Iroquois."
The Choquette family held a reunion to mark the 300th anniversary of the families arrival in Canada and a large memorial stone was erected in Varennes.
Nicolas Choquette was a solider in the Carignan-Sallieres Regiment, arrived in Quebec on August 17, 1665 in the reinforcement of the Royal Troops who had arrived on June 30th; tour of duty lasted through 1667.
