The name L'Hirondelle was a dit name.
The original name was Dubois dit Rondel from original settler to Quebec, Joseph Mathurin Dubois dit Rondel m. to Therese Miville....Their two sons, Joseph & Jacques used the name L'Hirondelle interchanged along with Dubois dit Rondel....Finding them in the Drouin Collection was a challange.....
There was a Jacques Dubois dit Rondell dit L'Hirondel b. 1765 in LaPrairie, to Jacqus and Catherine Babeau...haven't been able to find where he went, but surmise he is the one who worked for the Hudson Bay Co.......Some of the grandsons of Mathurin moved to the USA.....
