Thanks Liz and Don My interest is to find what happened to Calixte. If he was away to war, he didn't return to his family. There are no records I can find for him after the 1860 census when he was with his family at Fausse Pointe (then in St. Martin Parish, now Iberia Parish, LA). No records of marriage or death are apparent. The name C. David probably fit many from Louisiana; but Co I/18th rings a bell (maybe it was a local unit). C

Hi: The Confederate Pension Records do not list a "C" David. I could not find who he married, do you know that? It might be listed under her name.

She never thought of dying at all," Katherine Ray said. "She was planning for her birthday party."  Even with her recent decline, Ray managed an interview with a reporter last week, her granddaughter said.  Ray was the oldest person in the United States and the second-oldest in the world, according to the Gerontology Research Group.  Ray was born May 17, 1895, in Bloomfield, Prince Edward Island. She moved to the United States at age three.  Ray’s husband, Walter, died in 1967. Survivors include two sons, eight grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren.    =============================================    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Josephine_Ray    Born in Bloomfield, Prince Edward Island, Canada to French Canadian (Acadian) parents, Sabin Arsenault and Lydie Anne Blanchard, Mary Josephine moved to the United States at age three. Her father died when she was 7 and her mother also died when she was 15. Mary went out on her own, working in factories in Maine. Later she married Walter Ray (in the 1920s; he died in 1967) and moved to New Hampshire. Later, Mary Jo retired to Florida at age 80. She lived there on her own until 100, when her family brought her back to New Hampshire. At age 102, she moved into a nursing home when the family felt they could no longer care for her at home. Her paternal grandmother, Agnès Arsenault, died at the age of 97 in 1909.    ==============================================    other articles    http://www.thestar.com/news/obituary/article/776996--mary-ray-114-oldest-citizen-of-both-canada-and-u-s    http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/offbeat/new_hampshires_mary_josephine_ray_oldest_person_in_us_092009    http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Mary+Josephine+Ray    http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6273ZB20100308

I thought that I had received my 2010 census form in the mail today. But noooooo. It was a letter telling me that I WILL receive my census form. Don't forget to add your maiden name and make a copy for your files. Your ancestors will thank you. Lea

First Generation 1. Barthelemy BERGERON dit d'Amboise was born1 about 1663 in Amboise, Touraine, Indre-et-Loire, France. He was christened2,3,4,5 on 23 May 1663 in Amboise, Touraine, Indre-et-Loire, France. He died6 before 1737 in Ste-Anne-des-Pays-Bas, [Fredericton], New Brunswick, Canada. Barthelemy immigrated7,8 in Sep 1684 to Quebec, , Quebec, Canada. He signed a will9 on 7 Jan 1690 in Quebec, , Quebec, Canada. He resided10 in 1694/1704 in Boston, , MA. He was counted in a census11 in 1707 in Port Royal, , , Acadia. He was counted in a census12 in 1714 in Port Royal, , , Acadia. He was employed13,14 as Merchant. He was counted in a census15 in 1731 in Pointe St-Anne, , New Brunswick, Canada. BIRTH-OCCUPATION-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN: Stephen A. White, DICTIONNAIRE GENEALOGIQUE DES FAMILLES ACADIENNES; 1636-1714; Moncton, New Brunswick, Centre d'Etudes Acadiennes, 1999, 2 vols.; p. 122; own copy. #1: [No parents are given for him.] BIRTH: Article "Bergeron dit d'Amboise" on Internet web site by Aline Cormier at www.acadian-roots. com/genealogy-bergeron.html There was a birth record found by a genealogist in France named Jean Marie Germe of one Barthelemy Bergeron baptized May 23, 1663 in St-Denis in Amboise, France, son of Rene Bergeron and Anne Dugault. Again there is no proof that Rene and Anne Dugast were our Barthelemy's parents, although Anne Dugast's parents came from Nantes and Barthelemy's son took the dit name of Michel dit Nantes." PARENTS: Posting by Larry Bergeron at website on Bergeron descendants, at: http://groups.google.com/ group/bergeron-damboise/browse_thread/thread/f7ee51987aa54144 I do not think that his parents are Antoine and Claudette Scarron mainly because of the lack of a birth/ baptism record. When the baptism record was found naming Rene and Anne Dagault as the parents of Barthelemy Bergeron I felt that our search was over we have found his true parents at last. But now we have to prove that this Barthelemy is the one that married Genevieve Serreau dit St Aubin and therefore our true ancestor. I agree with Aline Cormier in that we must go to any length to find the true facts. We have checked with the Archives at Amboise and had no luck there so our next step is Nantes. We also want to try and find some kind of Military record where Barthelemy joined the "Troupe de la Marine" that should also tell us who his parents were. Posting by "Marius" (marius.damboise@gmail.com) in Nov 2007: In 1720-1760, Ste-Anne-de-la-rivière-St-Jean, to-day Fredericton, was the center of French Acadia. The old Acadia was under English domination since the Utrecht treaty (1713). Our ancestors were in based in Old Acadia, mainly Port-Royal for Barthelemy's family for about 20 years. Then, we have to understand that Barthelemy's family refused the allegiance oath and moved on the other side of what is today Fundy bay, in Ste-Anne. Ste-Anne-de-la-rivière-St-Jean (also known as Ste-Anne-des-Pays-Bas) was "founded" by Gabriel Godin-Bellefontaine, and the Bergeron family was one of the first families to join the Godin's. Those families were closely associated for about 100 years. Three of the daughters of Barthelemy and one of his sons married four children of Gabriel Godin. These families lived in peace in Ste-Anne and so far as we can judge, were relatively wealthy. But the village was atrociously destroyed in 1759. Many inhabitants were killed or made prisoners. This episode has been vividly described by Fidèle Thériault in "Le Petit Courrier" vol. 11, no. 1 (1995). Rich Bergeron has nicely translated the text into English. !PARENTS: E-mail posting at <ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com> #190 on 27 Apr 1999 by Tomlin (boandbg@pancomlnet). Barthelemy's parents were Antoine [sic] BERGERON married Claudette SCARRON [sic]. (Reference: Adrien Bergeron, LE GRAND ARRANGEMENT DES ACADIENS AU QUEBEC). [Stephen WHITE notes that this article has certain "imprecisions."] BIRTH-IMMIGRATION-RESIDENCES-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN: Bona Arsenault, Histoire et Généalogie des Acadiens, pp. 427-429 (Port Royal). See long note there. Arrived in Canada in 1685 as "volontaire de la marine" (volunteer seaman). Lived in the lower part of Québec from 1685 to 1690, at Pierre LEZEAU's, the shipmaster. He accompanied Pierre LeMoyne d'Iberville on most of his campaigns "dont celle de" Hudson Bay. Arrived in Acadia with d'Iberville in 1696. Married around 1695 [?] to Genevieve SERREAU dit Saint-Aubin, born in Québec, the widow of Jacques PETITPAS. In 1704 he was made prisoner with all the members of his family, at the time of the attack of Colonel Church against Port Royal, and was taken away into captivity at Boston, where he was kept as a hostage. After his liberation he returned to Port Royal where he lived in the sector "du Cap," near the fort, and navigated for his living. He owned a schooner, and made trading trips between Port Royal, Les Mines (Grand Pré and Pisiguit), Beaubassin, Chipoudy, Petitcoudiac and Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas. Around 1730 he moved to settle at the riviere Saint-Jean, in New Brunswick, where he was one of the pioneers of Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas, today known as Frédericton. Several of his descendants tooks the name of DAMBOISE. BAPTISM-SPONSOR: PRDH, http://www.genealogie.umontreal.ca/en/member/Acte.asp?33626 Barthelemy BERGERON acted as godfather at L'Ange-Gardien, Quebec, Canada, on 15 Feb 1691 at the baptism of Anne GARNAUT, born 13 Feb 1691, daughter of Francois GARNAUT & Louise KAREAU. Anne BRISSON was the godmother. C. GAULTIER was the Curate (record No. 33626).

MILITARY: The Schenectady (Corlaer) New York Massacre 8 February 1690 <http://www. schenectadyhistory.org/resources/patent/09.html> On the night of 8 February 1690, Barthelemy Bergeron D'Amboise was one of the surviving 114 frenchman and 96 native-american "Injuns" that descended from Quebec in a murderous raid upon this fortified but unguarded New York village. They also planned to attack Fort Orange (Albany NY) but decided not to split their forces.

Barthelémy's wife Genevieve SERREAU dit SAINT-AUBIN was not the widow of Jacques PETITPAS [sic]; this was her sister Marguerite. (Reference "Coll. des Documents Inedits" published by LE CANADA-FRANCAISE, vol. 3; Quebec, 1890; p. 167.) [Stephen A.

His grandparents are listed here [in my genealogy] as René BERGERON & Denise PHILBERT; Jean DAGAULT & Catherine AUBERT."I found the baptism of Barthelemy Bergeron in 1974 in the library of Amboise. I spent many days searching through their records before I finally, on a bright sunny morning, turned the page to the baptism act on left, top of the page. I examined the records from 1600 roughly to 1710 and I did not find any other Bergeron (or D'Amboise, by the way) named <<Barthelemy >>. Furthermore, the time bracket that I first considered for Barthelemy's birth was 1655-1665 based on the time of his arrival in Canada and the supposed age for his marriage according to Father Adrien Bergeron. I have examined the records of all of the parishes in Amboise and none but St-Denis contained an act for Barthelemy. I was therefore and still am convinced that the act found was that of Barthelemy, our ancestor. The act is that of his baptism, not of his birth. However, it is very likely that he was born around the day he was baptized, since this was the common practice at the time ."In the document "Histoire et généalogie des Bergeron-D'Amboise en Amérique (1684-2001)" Marius D'Amboise states that during a search in the library at Amboise in Jul 1989 he found the "Répertoire des naissances de la paroisse St-Denis d'Amboise 1626-1740." On p. 120 it indicated that the father of Barthélemy was René Bergeron. This document, classified GG176B, mentioned the birth [sic, baptism] in May 1663 of Barthélemy Bergeron, son of René and Anne Dagault. Examining this repertoire gave no other child called Barthélemy Bergeron. Moreover, his examination of the baptismal acts from the other parishes of Amboise (le Bout-des-Ponts, Notre-Dame-en-Grèves, and St-Florentin) did not show any other baptism of a Barthélemy Bergeron from the beginning of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th."At <www.damboise.net/fiches/fiche50.html#1258>. 3. BMS & NMD de Sauzon 1617 - 1901."A genealogical researcher in France by the name of Jean-Marie Germe has actually found a baptismal certificate for Barthélemy Bergeron d’Amboise, <http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=24018881&postID=4239769750458990356> who was baptized at Saint Denis church in Amboise on May 23, 1663. He was the son of René Bergeron and Anne Dagault and his godparents were Barthélemy Bertail and Gabrielle Saicher.

Bergeron, at <http>//3ag.blogspot.com/. 4. Bergeron-damboise@googlegroups.com, http://groups.google.com/group/bergeron-damboise?hl=en."Concerning Barthelemy, some of you have mentioned the existence of "two" Barthelemy born in Amboise. I can assure you that there is only one, baptized May 23, 1663, son of René and Anne Dagault. I spend many days searching the old registers of Amboise in 1974, 1976, 1984 and 1989. I found the "baptistère" of Barthelemy in 1974 and although I searched the registers of all parishes of Amboise between 1640 and 1710, I found no other Barthelemy. There is no Barthelemy, son of Antoine. In addition, in 1989, I found a register which gave an index of all "baptistères" registered in Amboise. This index, according to the librarian was probably established at the time of the French Revolution. In this index, there is only one Barthelemy, son of René and Anne Dagault. Therefore, based on the most likelihood principle, one must assume that our ancestor was the son of René and Anne Dagault. Finally, note that in France, before the Revolution, as well as in Québec until recently, the "baptistères" acts were the official birth acts and there is no other official acts. The priest had to write two acts: one for the Church, the other one was registered every year with the state. I believe, although I have not yet been able to establish it, that Barthelemy was linked to Antoine, a distant cousin... They are in my plans for my next visit in Amboise. I think it would be interesting to find an act for the engagement of Barthelemy as a "volontaire de la marine" however, I doubt that this would provide information so far as who were his parents. I have read many engagements contracts and very few of them give this information. But, one never knows... The one act that every one would wish to have is the marriage. Unfortunately, no one has been succesful in finding this act between Barthelemy and Genevieve. At this point, we have been looking in Québec and in Acadia. But my recent thought brings me to think that they may have married in Boston. This idea is shared by our cousin Joseph, from NH. I have no idea, however, where that information could be in the USA.

Your timing of requesting information on the site of the cemetery is somewhat appropriate since the Société d'histoire de la rivière Saint-Jean (SHRSJ) wants to commemorate the 250e ann. of the destruction of the village in 2009. Over the years, the Société d'histoire has tried many times to have the site recongnised in a variety of ways.

I'll get back to you with more details on the activities the Société d'histoire has undertaken regarding the site of the village & its cemetery. In 1993, the Société d'histoire produced a small booklet dedicated to the history of Pointe-Sainte-Anne since there was, and still are, disagreement on who now owns the land. If you provide me with an address we could send you a copy (an English version) of that booklet which I think you would find most interesting.

ACADIAN Digest."We do not know for sure how Barthélémy first met Geneviève, the younger daughter of Jean Serreau de St-Aubin and Marguerite Boyleau, but we can weave together some intriguing strands of information. Fr. Bergeron wondered if Barthélémy and Geneviève might have met at the time of delivering Jean Serreau's family from their captivity in Boston. We have no idea when they first met or what transpired on those meeting(s), for Geneviève was probably married at the time to Jacques Petitpas. She had given birth to two sons, Jean (born 1691) and Nicolas. But Petitpas had died in 1694. Fr. Adrien Bergeron wrote: "the wife of Barthélémy was certainly Geneviève Serreau de Saint-Aubin, but, contrary to what Bona Arsenault erroneously tells, not the widow of Jacques Petitpas; the latter, in fact, had married the older sister of Geneviève, Marguerite." On the other hand, Stephen White, acclaimed genealogist at the Centre d'Etudes Acadienne at the Université de Moncton, who supposedly double- and triple-checked every fact before publishing his two-volume Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles Acadiennes, insists that Geneviève was indeed the widow of Jacques Petitpas. So, who are we to believe? We stared at a crucial piece of information for years until Joe Damboise of Grafton, NH, pointed out that in the diaries of his expedition in 1704, Colonel Church mentions finding "De Boisses' wife, who had formerly been Colonel Church's prisoner, and carried to Boston, but returned; who seemed very glad to see him. She had with her, two sons, that were near grown men." Joe pointed out what should have been obvious to us: these "two sons, that were near grown men" had to be her sons Jean and Nicolas Petitpas, now in their early teens, nearly grown men in those days. About 1695 D'Iberville was set to lead another expedition against Newfoundland, but royal bureaucracy balked at his military expenditures. He had to go to France to argue his cause, and even then funding was not quick to come. As Fr. Bergeron wrote, he could no longer keep around him his 18 to 20 favorites. But as far as Barthélémy was concerned, he was no longer associated with D'Iberville. Besides, at this time he was being held in a prison in Boston. Fr. Bergeron wrote that in 1695, "without doubt, his betrothed Geneviève Serreau de Saint-Aubin had taken the opportunity of the 'difficulties of d'Iberville' to finally convince Barthélémy that the hour had come!" We do not know if Barthélémy continued to sail with Baptiste after his marriage. Joe Damboise brought another very interesting point to my attention. In analyzing the governor's letters, we see that Villebon was notified on December 9, 1694 that the English wanted to exchange a sailor of Baptiste's crew for an English ship-master that Villebon was holding. The exchange actually occurred on June 24, 1695. Thus it is firmly established for us that Barthélémy Bergeron D'Amboise was in prison in Boston, at the very minimum, for almost seven months. We also know that Benjamin Church captured members of the Serreau de St.-Aubin family in 1692. According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography: "in a letter that Saint-Aubin sent to Boston in 1695 mention is made of a ransom of 30 livres for his daughter." The most logical daughter would be Geneviève, captured in 1692 with her husband at the time, Jacques Petitpas. Thus we have Barthélémy and Geneviève, the widow of Petitpas, in prison in Boston at the same time. How do we know they were together? Their first child was Barthélémy II, baptized at Île d'Orléans (Québec) on 1 January 1696. (The baby's godparents were Michel Chartier and his grandmother, Marguerite Boisleau.) We have no idea why the family was in Québec at this time. We do know for facts that: 1.) Petitpas had died in 1694, 2.) Barthélémy Bergeron D'Amboise was not freed from Boston until late June of 1695, and 3.) Barthelemy II was baptized on 1 January 1696, meaning, of course, that he had been born before then. Calculations easily made show that Barthélémy and Geneviève HAD to have been together for Barthélémy II to be conceived and born before the following New Year's Day. And both Barthélémy and Geneviève were in Boston prisons when son Barthélémy had to have been conceived. Logically they must have been together in the same prison. Fr. Bergeron believes that Barthélémy and Geneviève were almost certainly married at Port Royal. There were no chapels or missions yet at any of the places where they would later live. Their marriage date was probably some time in 1695. Fr. Bergeron believed that no marriage certificate survived the later wars and deportations: "For, if my 'historical notes' are exact, the first parish Régistre of Port-Royal, ... covers only the years going from 1702 to 1715...." But the fact that they were in Québec for the baptism..." 18. Stephen A.

Again there is no proof that Rene and Anne Dugast were our Barthelemy's parents, although Anne Dugast's parents came from Nantes and Barthelemy's son took the dit name of Michel dit Nantes." PARENTS: Posting by Larry Bergeron at website on Bergeron descendants, at: http://groups.google.com/ group/bergeron-damboise/browse_thread/thread/f7ee51987aa54144 I do not think that his parents are Antoine and Claudette Scarron mainly because of the lack of a birth/ baptism record. When the baptism record was found naming Rene and Anne Dagault as the parents of Barthelemy Bergeron I felt that our search was over we have found his true parents at last. But now we have to prove that this Barthelemy is the one that married Genevieve Serreau dit St Aubin and therefore our true ancestor. I agree with Aline Cormier in that we must go to any length to find the true facts. We have checked with the Archives at Amboise and had no luck there so our next step is Nantes. We also want to try and find some kind of Military record where Barthelemy joined the "Troupe de la Marine" that should also tell us who his parents were. Posting by "Marius" (marius.damboise@gmail.com) in Nov 2007: In 1720-1760, Ste-Anne-de-la-rivière-St-Jean, to-day Fredericton, was the center of French Acadia. The old Acadia was under English domination since the Utrecht treaty (1713). Our ancestors were in based in Old Acadia, mainly Port-Royal for Barthelemy's family for about 20 years. Then, we have to understand that Barthelemy's family refused the allegiance oath and moved on the other side of what is today Fundy bay, in Ste-Anne. Ste-Anne-de-la-rivière-St-Jean (also known as Ste-Anne-des-Pays-Bas) was "founded" by Gabriel Godin-Bellefontaine, and the Bergeron family was one of the first families to join the Godin's. Those families were closely associated for about 100 years. Three of the daughters of Barthelemy and one of his sons married four children of Gabriel Godin. These families lived in peace in Ste-Anne and so far as we can judge, were relatively wealthy. But the village was atrociously destroyed in 1759. Many inhabitants were killed or made prisoners. This episode has been vividly described by Fidèle Thériault in "Le Petit Courrier" vol. 11, no. 1 (1995). Rich Bergeron has nicely translated the text into English. !PARENTS: E-mail posting at <ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com> #190 on 27 Apr 1999 by Tomlin (boandbg@pancomlnet).

He accompanied Pierre LeMoyne d'Iberville on most of his campaigns "dont celle de" Hudson Bay. Arrived in Acadia with d'Iberville in 1696. Married around 1695 [?] to Genevieve SERREAU dit Saint-Aubin, born in Québec, the widow of Jacques PETITPAS. In 1704 he was made prisoner with all the members of his family, at the time of the attack of Colonel Church against Port Royal, and was taken away into captivity at Boston, where he was kept as a hostage. After his liberation he returned to Port Royal where he lived in the sector "du Cap," near the fort, and navigated for his living. He owned a schooner, and made trading trips between Port Royal, Les Mines (Grand Pré and Pisiguit), Beaubassin, Chipoudy, Petitcoudiac and Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas. Around 1730 he moved to settle at the riviere Saint-Jean, in New Brunswick, where he was one of the pioneers of Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas, today known as Frédericton.

I spent many days searching through their records before I finally, on a bright sunny morning, turned the page to the baptism act on left, top of the page. I examined the records from 1600 roughly to 1710 and I did not find any other Bergeron (or D'Amboise, by the way) named <<Barthelemy >>. Furthermore, the time bracket that I first considered for Barthelemy's birth was 1655-1665 based on the time of his arrival in Canada and the supposed age for his marriage according to Father Adrien Bergeron. I have examined the records of all of the parishes in Amboise and none but St-Denis contained an act for Barthelemy. I was therefore and still am convinced that the act found was that of Barthelemy, our ancestor. The act is that of his baptism, not of his birth. However, it is very likely that he was born around the day he was baptized, since this was the common practice at the time ."In the document "Histoire et généalogie des Bergeron-D'Amboise en Amérique (1684-2001)" Marius D'Amboise states that during a search in the library at Amboise in Jul 1989 he found the "Répertoire des naissances de la paroisse St-Denis d'Amboise 1626-1740."

This document, classified GG176B, mentioned the birth [sic, baptism] in May 1663 of Barthélemy Bergeron, son of René and Anne Dagault. Examining this repertoire gave no other child called Barthélemy Bergeron. Moreover, his examination of the baptismal acts from the other parishes of Amboise (le Bout-des-Ponts, Notre-Dame-en-Grèves, and St-Florentin) did not show any other baptism of a Barthélemy Bergeron from the beginning of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th."At <www.damboise.net/fiches/fiche50.html#1258>. 3.

I can assure you that there is only one, baptized May 23, 1663, son of René and Anne Dagault. I spend many days searching the old registers of Amboise in 1974, 1976, 1984 and 1989. I found the "baptistère" of Barthelemy in 1974 and although I searched the registers of all parishes of Amboise between 1640 and 1710, I found no other Barthelemy. There is no Barthelemy, son of Antoine. In addition, in 1989, I found a register which gave an index of all "baptistères" registered in Amboise. This index, according to the librarian was probably established at the time of the French Revolution. In this index, there is only one Barthelemy, son of René and Anne Dagault. Therefore, based on the most likelihood principle, one must assume that our ancestor was the son of René and Anne Dagault. Finally, note that in France, before the Revolution, as well as in Québec until recently, the "baptistères" acts were the official birth acts and there is no other official acts. The priest had to write two acts: one for the Church, the other one was registered every year with the state.

ACADIAN Digest."We do not know for sure how Barthélémy first met Geneviève, the younger daughter of Jean Serreau de St-Aubin and Marguerite Boyleau, but we can weave together some intriguing strands of information. Fr. Bergeron wondered if Barthélémy and Geneviève might have met at the time of delivering Jean Serreau's family from their captivity in Boston. We have no idea when they first met or what transpired on those meeting(s), for Geneviève was probably married at the time to Jacques Petitpas. She had given birth to two sons, Jean (born 1691) and Nicolas. But Petitpas had died in 1694. Fr. Adrien Bergeron wrote: "the wife of Barthélémy was certainly Geneviève Serreau de Saint-Aubin, but, contrary to what Bona Arsenault erroneously tells, not the widow of Jacques Petitpas; the latter, in fact, had married the older sister of Geneviève, Marguerite." On the other hand, Stephen White, acclaimed genealogist at the Centre d'Etudes Acadienne at the Université de Moncton, who supposedly double- and triple-checked every fact before publishing his two-volume Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles Acadiennes, insists that Geneviève was indeed the widow of Jacques Petitpas. So, who are we to believe? We stared at a crucial piece of information for years until Joe Damboise of Grafton, NH, pointed out that in the diaries of his expedition in 1704, Colonel Church mentions finding "De Boisses' wife, who had formerly been Colonel Church's prisoner, and carried to Boston, but returned; who seemed very glad to see him. She had with her, two sons, that were near grown men." Joe pointed out what should have been obvious to us: these "two sons, that were near grown men" had to be her sons Jean and Nicolas Petitpas, now in their early teens, nearly grown men in those days. About 1695 D'Iberville was set to lead another expedition against Newfoundland, but royal bureaucracy balked at his military expenditures. He had to go to France to argue his cause, and even then funding was not quick to come. As Fr. Bergeron wrote, he could no longer keep around him his 18 to 20 favorites. But as far as Barthélémy was concerned, he was no longer associated with D'Iberville. Besides, at this time he was being held in a prison in Boston. Fr. Bergeron wrote that in 1695, "without doubt, his betrothed Geneviève Serreau de Saint-Aubin had taken the opportunity of the 'difficulties of d'Iberville' to finally convince Barthélémy that the hour had come!" We do not know if Barthélémy continued to sail with Baptiste after his marriage. Joe Damboise brought another very interesting point to my attention. In analyzing the governor's letters, we see that Villebon was notified on December 9, 1694 that the English wanted to exchange a sailor of Baptiste's crew for an English ship-master that Villebon was holding. The exchange actually occurred on June 24, 1695. Thus it is firmly established for us that Barthélémy Bergeron D'Amboise was in prison in Boston, at the very minimum, for almost seven months. We also know that Benjamin Church captured members of the Serreau de St.-Aubin family in 1692. According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography: "in a letter that Saint-Aubin sent to Boston in 1695 mention is made of a ransom of 30 livres for his daughter." The most logical daughter would be Geneviève, captured in 1692 with her husband at the time, Jacques Petitpas. Thus we have Barthélémy and Geneviève, the widow of Petitpas, in prison in Boston at the same time. How do we know they were together? Their first child was Barthélémy II, baptized at Île d'Orléans (Québec) on 1 January 1696. (The baby's godparents were Michel Chartier and his grandmother, Marguerite Boisleau.) We have no idea why the family was in Québec at this time. We do know for facts that: 1.) Petitpas had died in 1694, 2.) Barthélémy Bergeron D'Amboise was not freed from Boston until late June of 1695, and 3.) Barthelemy II was baptized on 1 January 1696, meaning, of course, that he had been born before then. Calculations easily made show that Barthélémy and Geneviève HAD to have been together for Barthélémy II to be conceived and born before the following New Year's Day. And both Barthélémy and Geneviève were in Boston prisons when son Barthélémy had to have been conceived. Logically they must have been together in the same prison. Fr. Bergeron believes that Barthélémy and Geneviève were almost certainly married at Port Royal. There were no chapels or missions yet at any of the places where they would later live. Their marriage date was probably some time in 1695. Fr. Bergeron believed that no marriage certificate survived the later wars and deportations: "For, if my 'historical notes' are exact, the first parish Régistre of Port-Royal, ... covers only the years going from 1702 to 1715...." But the fact that they were in Québec for the baptism..." 18. Stephen A.

Again there is no proof that Rene and Anne Dugast were our Barthelemy's parents, although Anne Dugast's parents came from Nantes and Barthelemy's son took the dit name of Michel dit Nantes." PARENTS: Posting by Larry Bergeron at website on Bergeron descendants, at: http://groups.google.com/ group/bergeron-damboise/browse_thread/thread/f7ee51987aa54144 I do not think that his parents are Antoine and Claudette Scarron mainly because of the lack of a birth/ baptism record. When the baptism record was found naming Rene and Anne Dagault as the parents of Barthelemy Bergeron I felt that our search was over we have found his true parents at last. But now we have to prove that this Barthelemy is the one that married Genevieve Serreau dit St Aubin and therefore our true ancestor. I agree with Aline Cormier in that we must go to any length to find the true facts. We have checked with the Archives at Amboise and had no luck there so our next step is Nantes. We also want to try and find some kind of Military record where Barthelemy joined the "Troupe de la Marine" that should also tell us who his parents were. Posting by "Marius" (marius.damboise@gmail.com) in Nov 2007: In 1720-1760, Ste-Anne-de-la-rivière-St-Jean, to-day Fredericton, was the center of French Acadia. The old Acadia was under English domination since the Utrecht treaty (1713). Our ancestors were in based in Old Acadia, mainly Port-Royal for Barthelemy's family for about 20 years. Then, we have to understand that Barthelemy's family refused the allegiance oath and moved on the other side of what is today Fundy bay, in Ste-Anne. Ste-Anne-de-la-rivière-St-Jean (also known as Ste-Anne-des-Pays-Bas) was "founded" by Gabriel Godin-Bellefontaine, and the Bergeron family was one of the first families to join the Godin's. Those families were closely associated for about 100 years. Three of the daughters of Barthelemy and one of his sons married four children of Gabriel Godin. These families lived in peace in Ste-Anne and so far as we can judge, were relatively wealthy. But the village was atrociously destroyed in 1759. Many inhabitants were killed or made prisoners. This episode has been vividly described by Fidèle Thériault in "Le Petit Courrier" vol. 11, no. 1 (1995). Rich Bergeron has nicely translated the text into English. !PARENTS: E-mail posting at <ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com> #190 on 27 Apr 1999 by Tomlin (boandbg@pancomlnet).

He accompanied Pierre LeMoyne d'Iberville on most of his campaigns "dont celle de" Hudson Bay. Arrived in Acadia with d'Iberville in 1696. Married around 1695 [?] to Genevieve SERREAU dit Saint-Aubin, born in Québec, the widow of Jacques PETITPAS. In 1704 he was made prisoner with all the members of his family, at the time of the attack of Colonel Church against Port Royal, and was taken away into captivity at Boston, where he was kept as a hostage. After his liberation he returned to Port Royal where he lived in the sector "du Cap," near the fort, and navigated for his living. He owned a schooner, and made trading trips between Port Royal, Les Mines (Grand Pré and Pisiguit), Beaubassin, Chipoudy, Petitcoudiac and Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas. Around 1730 he moved to settle at the riviere Saint-Jean, in New Brunswick, where he was one of the pioneers of Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas, today known as Frédericton.

I spent many days searching through their records before I finally, on a bright sunny morning, turned the page to the baptism act on left, top of the page. I examined the records from 1600 roughly to 1710 and I did not find any other Bergeron (or D'Amboise, by the way) named <<Barthelemy >>. Furthermore, the time bracket that I first considered for Barthelemy's birth was 1655-1665 based on the time of his arrival in Canada and the supposed age for his marriage according to Father Adrien Bergeron. I have examined the records of all of the parishes in Amboise and none but St-Denis contained an act for Barthelemy. I was therefore and still am convinced that the act found was that of Barthelemy, our ancestor. The act is that of his baptism, not of his birth. However, it is very likely that he was born around the day he was baptized, since this was the common practice at the time ."In the document "Histoire et généalogie des Bergeron-D'Amboise en Amérique (1684-2001)" Marius D'Amboise states that during a search in the library at Amboise in Jul 1989 he found the "Répertoire des naissances de la paroisse St-Denis d'Amboise 1626-1740." On p. 120 it indicated that the father of Barthélemy was René Bergeron. This document, classified GG176B, mentioned the birth [sic, baptism] in May 1663 of Barthélemy Bergeron, son of René and Anne Dagault. Examining this repertoire gave no other child called Barthélemy Bergeron. Moreover, his examination of the baptismal acts from the other parishes of Amboise (le Bout-des-Ponts, Notre-Dame-en-Grèves, and St-Florentin) did not show any other baptism of a Barthélemy Bergeron from the beginning of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th."At <www.damboise.net/fiches/fiche50.html#1258>. 3.

Bergeron-damboise@googlegroups.com, http://groups.google.com/group/bergeron-damboise?hl=en."Concerning Barthelemy, some of you have mentioned the existence of "two" Barthelemy born in Amboise. I can assure you that there is only one, baptized May 23, 1663, son of René and Anne Dagault. I spend many days searching the old registers of Amboise in 1974, 1976, 1984 and 1989. I found the "baptistère" of Barthelemy in 1974 and although I searched the registers of all parishes of Amboise between 1640 and 1710, I found no other Barthelemy. There is no Barthelemy, son of Antoine. In addition, in 1989, I found a register which gave an index of all "baptistères" registered in Amboise. This index, according to the librarian was probably established at the time of the French Revolution. In this index, there is only one Barthelemy, son of René and Anne Dagault. Therefore, based on the most likelihood principle, one must assume that our ancestor was the son of René and Anne Dagault. Finally, note that in France, before the Revolution, as well as in Québec until recently, the "baptistères" acts were the official birth acts and there is no other official acts. The priest had to write two acts: one for the Church, the other one was registered every year with the state. I believe, although I have not yet been able to establish it, that Barthelemy was linked to Antoine, a distant cousin... They are in my plans for my next visit in Amboise. I think it would be interesting to find an act for the engagement of Barthelemy as a "volontaire de la marine" however, I doubt that this would provide information so far as who were his parents. I have read many engagements contracts and very few of them give this information. But, one never knows... The one act that every one would wish to have is the marriage. Unfortunately, no one has been succesful in finding this act between Barthelemy and Genevieve. At this point, we have been looking in Québec and in Acadia. But my recent thought brings me to think that they may have married in Boston. This idea is shared by our cousin Joseph, from NH. I have no idea, however, where that information could be in the USA. I also have another hypothesis: they could have married in Nantes.

ACADIAN Digest."We do not know for sure how Barthélémy first met Geneviève, the younger daughter of Jean Serreau de St-Aubin and Marguerite Boyleau, but we can weave together some intriguing strands of information. Fr. Bergeron wondered if Barthélémy and Geneviève might have met at the time of delivering Jean Serreau's family from their captivity in Boston. We have no idea when they first met or what transpired on those meeting(s), for Geneviève was probably married at the time to Jacques Petitpas. She had given birth to two sons, Jean (born 1691) and Nicolas. But Petitpas had died in 1694. Fr. Adrien Bergeron wrote: "the wife of Barthélémy was certainly Geneviève Serreau de Saint-Aubin, but, contrary to what Bona Arsenault erroneously tells, not the widow of Jacques Petitpas; the latter, in fact, had married the older sister of Geneviève, Marguerite." On the other hand, Stephen White, acclaimed genealogist at the Centre d'Etudes Acadienne at the Université de Moncton, who supposedly double- and triple-checked every fact before publishing his two-volume Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles Acadiennes, insists that Geneviève was indeed the widow of Jacques Petitpas. So, who are we to believe? We stared at a crucial piece of information for years until Joe Damboise of Grafton, NH, pointed out that in the diaries of his expedition in 1704, Colonel Church mentions finding "De Boisses' wife, who had formerly been Colonel Church's prisoner, and carried to Boston, but returned; who seemed very glad to see him. She had with her, two sons, that were near grown men." Joe pointed out what should have been obvious to us: these "two sons, that were near grown men" had to be her sons Jean and Nicolas Petitpas, now in their early teens, nearly grown men in those days. About 1695 D'Iberville was set to lead another expedition against Newfoundland, but royal bureaucracy balked at his military expenditures. He had to go to France to argue his cause, and even then funding was not quick to come. As Fr. Bergeron wrote, he could no longer keep around him his 18 to 20 favorites. But as far as Barthélémy was concerned, he was no longer associated with D'Iberville. Besides, at this time he was being held in a prison in Boston. Fr. Bergeron wrote that in 1695, "without doubt, his betrothed Geneviève Serreau de Saint-Aubin had taken the opportunity of the 'difficulties of d'Iberville' to finally convince Barthélémy that the hour had come!" We do not know if Barthélémy continued to sail with Baptiste after his marriage. Joe Damboise brought another very interesting point to my attention. In analyzing the governor's letters, we see that Villebon was notified on December 9, 1694 that the English wanted to exchange a sailor of Baptiste's crew for an English ship-master that Villebon was holding. The exchange actually occurred on June 24, 1695. Thus it is firmly established for us that Barthélémy Bergeron D'Amboise was in prison in Boston, at the very minimum, for almost seven months. We also know that Benjamin Church captured members of the Serreau de St.-Aubin family in 1692. According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography: "in a letter that Saint-Aubin sent to Boston in 1695 mention is made of a ransom of 30 livres for his daughter." The most logical daughter would be Geneviève, captured in 1692 with her husband at the time, Jacques Petitpas. Thus we have Barthélémy and Geneviève, the widow of Petitpas, in prison in Boston at the same time. How do we know they were together? Their first child was Barthélémy II, baptized at Île d'Orléans (Québec) on 1 January 1696. (The baby's godparents were Michel Chartier and his grandmother, Marguerite Boisleau.) We have no idea why the family was in Québec at this time. We do know for facts that: 1.) Petitpas had died in 1694, 2.) Barthélémy Bergeron D'Amboise was not freed from Boston until late June of 1695, and 3.) Barthelemy II was baptized on 1 January 1696, meaning, of course, that he had been born before then. Calculations easily made show that Barthélémy and Geneviève HAD to have been together for Barthélémy II to be conceived and born before the following New Year's Day. And both Barthélémy and Geneviève were in Boston prisons when son Barthélémy had to have been conceived. Logically they must have been together in the same prison. Fr. Bergeron believes that Barthélémy and Geneviève were almost certainly married at Port Royal. There were no chapels or missions yet at any of the places where they would later live. Their marriage date was probably some time in 1695. Fr. Bergeron believed that no marriage certificate survived the later wars and deportations: "For, if my 'historical notes' are exact, the first parish Régistre of Port-Royal, ... covers only the years going from 1702 to 1715...." But the fact that they were in Québec for the baptism..." 18. Stephen A.

Again there is no proof that Rene and Anne Dugast were our Barthelemy's parents, although Anne Dugast's parents came from Nantes and Barthelemy's son took the dit name of Michel dit Nantes." PARENTS: Posting by Larry Bergeron at website on Bergeron descendants, at: http://groups.google.com/ group/bergeron-damboise/browse_thread/thread/f7ee51987aa54144 I do not think that his parents are Antoine and Claudette Scarron mainly because of the lack of a birth/ baptism record. When the baptism record was found naming Rene and Anne Dagault as the parents of Barthelemy Bergeron I felt that our search was over we have found his true parents at last. But now we have to prove that this Barthelemy is the one that married Genevieve Serreau dit St Aubin and therefore our true ancestor. I agree with Aline Cormier in that we must go to any length to find the true facts. We have checked with the Archives at Amboise and had no luck there so our next step is Nantes. We also want to try and find some kind of Military record where Barthelemy joined the "Troupe de la Marine" that should also tell us who his parents were. Posting by "Marius" (marius.damboise@gmail.com) in Nov 2007: In 1720-1760, Ste-Anne-de-la-rivière-St-Jean, to-day Fredericton, was the center of French Acadia. The old Acadia was under English domination since the Utrecht treaty (1713). Our ancestors were in based in Old Acadia, mainly Port-Royal for Barthelemy's family for about 20 years. Then, we have to understand that Barthelemy's family refused the allegiance oath and moved on the other side of what is today Fundy bay, in Ste-Anne. Ste-Anne-de-la-rivière-St-Jean (also known as Ste-Anne-des-Pays-Bas) was "founded" by Gabriel Godin-Bellefontaine, and the Bergeron family was one of the first families to join the Godin's. Those families were closely associated for about 100 years. Three of the daughters of Barthelemy and one of his sons married four children of Gabriel Godin. These families lived in peace in Ste-Anne and so far as we can judge, were relatively wealthy. But the village was atrociously destroyed in 1759. Many inhabitants were killed or made prisoners. This episode has been vividly described by Fidèle Thériault in "Le Petit Courrier" vol. 11, no. 1 (1995). Rich Bergeron has nicely translated the text into English. !PARENTS: E-mail posting at <ACADIAN-CAJUN-L@rootsweb.com> #190 on 27 Apr 1999 by Tomlin (boandbg@pancomlnet).

He accompanied Pierre LeMoyne d'Iberville on most of his campaigns "dont celle de" Hudson Bay. Arrived in Acadia with d'Iberville in 1696. Married around 1695 [?] to Genevieve SERREAU dit Saint-Aubin, born in Québec, the widow of Jacques PETITPAS. In 1704 he was made prisoner with all the members of his family, at the time of the attack of Colonel Church against Port Royal, and was taken away into captivity at Boston, where he was kept as a hostage. After his liberation he returned to Port Royal where he lived in the sector "du Cap," near the fort, and navigated for his living. He owned a schooner, and made trading trips between Port Royal, Les Mines (Grand Pré and Pisiguit), Beaubassin, Chipoudy, Petitcoudiac and Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas. Around 1730 he moved to settle at the riviere Saint-Jean, in New Brunswick, where he was one of the pioneers of Sainte-Anne-du-Pays-Bas, today known as Frédericton.

I spent many days searching through their records before I finally, on a bright sunny morning, turned the page to the baptism act on left, top of the page. I examined the records from 1600 roughly to 1710 and I did not find any other Bergeron (or D'Amboise, by the way) named <<Barthelemy >>. Furthermore, the time bracket that I first considered for Barthelemy's birth was 1655-1665 based on the time of his arrival in Canada and the supposed age for his marriage according to Father Adrien Bergeron. I have examined the records of all of the parishes in Amboise and none but St-Denis contained an act for Barthelemy. I was therefore and still am convinced that the act found was that of Barthelemy, our ancestor. The act is that of his baptism, not of his birth. However, it is very likely that he was born around the day he was baptized, since this was the common practice at the time ."In the document "Histoire et généalogie des Bergeron-D'Amboise en Amérique (1684-2001)" Marius D'Amboise states that during a search in the library at Amboise in Jul 1989 he found the "Répertoire des naissances de la paroisse St-Denis d'Amboise 1626-1740." On p. 120 it indicated that the father of Barthélemy was René Bergeron. This document, classified GG176B, mentioned the birth [sic, baptism] in May 1663 of Barthélemy Bergeron, son of René and Anne Dagault. Examining this repertoire gave no other child called Barthélemy Bergeron. Moreover, his examination of the baptismal acts from the other parishes of Amboise (le Bout-des-Ponts, Notre-Dame-en-Grèves, and St-Florentin) did not show any other baptism of a Barthélemy Bergeron from the beginning of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th."At <www.damboise.net/fiches/fiche50.html#1258>. 3.

Bergeron-damboise@googlegroups.com, http://groups.google.com/group/bergeron-damboise?hl=en."Concerning Barthelemy, some of you have mentioned the existence of "two" Barthelemy born in Amboise. I can assure you that there is only one, baptized May 23, 1663, son of René and Anne Dagault. I spend many days searching the old registers of Amboise in 1974, 1976, 1984 and 1989. I found the "baptistère" of Barthelemy in 1974 and although I searched the registers of all parishes of Amboise between 1640 and 1710, I found no other Barthelemy. There is no Barthelemy, son of Antoine. In addition, in 1989, I found a register which gave an index of all "baptistères" registered in Amboise. This index, according to the librarian was probably established at the time of the French Revolution. In this index, there is only one Barthelemy, son of René and Anne Dagault. Therefore, based on the most likelihood principle, one must assume that our ancestor was the son of René and Anne Dagault. Finally, note that in France, before the Revolution, as well as in Québec until recently, the "baptistères" acts were the official birth acts and there is no other official acts. The priest had to write two acts: one for the Church, the other one was registered every year with the state. I believe, although I have not yet been able to establish it, that Barthelemy was linked to Antoine, a distant cousin... They are in my plans for my next visit in Amboise. I think it would be interesting to find an act for the engagement of Barthelemy as a "volontaire de la marine" however, I doubt that this would provide information so far as who were his parents. I have read many engagements contracts and very few of them give this information. But, one never knows... The one act that every one would wish to have is the marriage. Unfortunately, no one has been succesful in finding this act between Barthelemy and Genevieve. At this point, we have been looking in Québec and in Acadia. But my recent thought brings me to think that they may have married in Boston. This idea is shared by our cousin Joseph, from NH. I have no idea, however, where that information could be in the USA. I also have another hypothesis: they could have married in Nantes.

Your timing of requesting information on the site of the cemetery is somewhat appropriate since the Société d'histoire de la rivière Saint-Jean (SHRSJ) wants to commemorate the 250e ann. of the destruction of the village in 2009. Over the years, the Société d'histoire has tried many times to have the site recongnised in a variety of ways. As part of our plan of activities for the year we want to examine, again, the feasability to have the site of the village recognized as a protected site either by the provincial government or by the federal government. I'll get back to you with more details on the activities the Société d'histoire has undertaken regarding the site of the village & its cemetery. In 1993, the Société d'histoire produced a small booklet dedicated to the history of Pointe-Sainte-Anne since there was, and still are, disagreement on who now owns the land. If you provide me with an address we could send you a copy (an English version) of that booklet which I think you would find most interesting. Meanwhile you could also, if you can, provide us with more details on your ancesters at Pointe-Sainte-Anne. If you do visit Fredericton next summer, we could arrange for a meeting. Bernard-M.

ACADIAN Digest."We do not know for sure how Barthélémy first met Geneviève, the younger daughter of Jean Serreau de St-Aubin and Marguerite Boyleau, but we can weave together some intriguing strands of information. Fr. Bergeron wondered if Barthélémy and Geneviève might have met at the time of delivering Jean Serreau's family from their captivity in Boston. We have no idea when they first met or what transpired on those meeting(s), for Geneviève was probably married at the time to Jacques Petitpas. She had given birth to two sons, Jean (born 1691) and Nicolas. But Petitpas had died in 1694. Fr. Adrien Bergeron wrote: "the wife of Barthélémy was certainly Geneviève Serreau de Saint-Aubin, but, contrary to what Bona Arsenault erroneously tells, not the widow of Jacques Petitpas; the latter, in fact, had married the older sister of Geneviève, Marguerite." On the other hand, Stephen White, acclaimed genealogist at the Centre d'Etudes Acadienne at the Université de Moncton, who supposedly double- and triple-checked every fact before publishing his two-volume Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles Acadiennes, insists that Geneviève was indeed the widow of Jacques Petitpas. So, who are we to believe? We stared at a crucial piece of information for years until Joe Damboise of Grafton, NH, pointed out that in the diaries of his expedition in 1704, Colonel Church mentions finding "De Boisses' wife, who had formerly been Colonel Church's prisoner, and carried to Boston, but returned; who seemed very glad to see him. She had with her, two sons, that were near grown men." Joe pointed out what should have been obvious to us: these "two sons, that were near grown men" had to be her sons Jean and Nicolas Petitpas, now in their early teens, nearly grown men in those days. About 1695 D'Iberville was set to lead another expedition against Newfoundland, but royal bureaucracy balked at his military expenditures. He had to go to France to argue his cause, and even then funding was not quick to come. As Fr. Bergeron wrote, he could no longer keep around him his 18 to 20 favorites. But as far as Barthélémy was concerned, he was no longer associated with D'Iberville. Besides, at this time he was being held in a prison in Boston. Fr. Bergeron wrote that in 1695, "without doubt, his betrothed Geneviève Serreau de Saint-Aubin had taken the opportunity of the 'difficulties of d'Iberville' to finally convince Barthélémy that the hour had come!" We do not know if Barthélémy continued to sail with Baptiste after his marriage. Joe Damboise brought another very interesting point to my attention. In analyzing the governor's letters, we see that Villebon was notified on December 9, 1694 that the English wanted to exchange a sailor of Baptiste's crew for an English ship-master that Villebon was holding. The exchange actually occurred on June 24, 1695. Thus it is firmly established for us that Barthélémy Bergeron D'Amboise was in prison in Boston, at the very minimum, for almost seven months. We also know that Benjamin Church captured members of the Serreau de St.-Aubin family in 1692. According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography: "in a letter that Saint-Aubin sent to Boston in 1695 mention is made of a ransom of 30 livres for his daughter." The most logical daughter would be Geneviève, captured in 1692 with her husband at the time, Jacques Petitpas. Thus we have Barthélémy and Geneviève, the widow of Petitpas, in prison in Boston at the same time. How do we know they were together? Their first child was Barthélémy II, baptized at Île d'Orléans (Québec) on 1 January 1696. (The baby's godparents were Michel Chartier and his grandmother, Marguerite Boisleau.) We have no idea why the family was in Québec at this time. We do know for facts that: 1.) Petitpas had died in 1694, 2.) Barthélémy Bergeron D'Amboise was not freed from Boston until late June of 1695, and 3.) Barthelemy II was baptized on 1 January 1696, meaning, of course, that he had been born before then. Calculations easily made show that Barthélémy and Geneviève HAD to have been together for Barthélémy II to be conceived and born before the following New Year's Day. And both Barthélémy and Geneviève were in Boston prisons when son Barthélémy had to have been conceived. Logically they must have been together in the same prison. Fr. Bergeron believes that Barthélémy and Geneviève were almost certainly married at Port Royal. There were no chapels or missions yet at any of the places where they would later live. Their marriage date was probably some time in 1695. Fr. Bergeron believed that no marriage certificate survived the later wars and deportations: "For, if my 'historical notes' are exact, the first parish Régistre of Port-Royal, ... covers only the years going from 1702 to 1715...." But the fact that they were in Québec for the baptism..." 18. Stephen A.

Catherine Bugaret 1638 – 1693 (Bernard & ?) DGFA Page 1295   This is an alternate source for DGFA for David Bergeron dit Ambroise David Bergeron, Twelve years after the Fronde (1664), Antoine Bergeron married Claudette Searron (or Scarron) at Chapelle St-Florentin, Amboise. According to one unconfirmed source, their son Barthélémy was born on May 23 of the following year. All baptized at Notre Dame de Grève, Amboise Jean III (1598) Catherine Douaray 1623 Chaumont-sur-Loire Jean IV(1633) Louise (1637) Jacques (1642) [twins?] Marie 1642) [twins?] Antoine (1643) Catherine (1644) Thomas (1648) Pierre (1650) Antoine (1643) Claudette Scarron 1664 Chapelle St-Florentin, Amboise Barthélémy (c1665) Now, even though Father Bergeron published the data provided by Dame Lubineau of Nantes, he admitted that it was uncertain whether this Barthelemy was our ancestor. The problem was the fact that "she has not yet succeeded in discovering the baptismal certificate of Barthelemy: which forces us for the moment to consider 'this French part' of our genealogy as only 'hypothetical,' though endowed with strong probability."    Alan

Michael Cecil had/found some of Valetin's ancestors back to the founding of Acadia, Verify, Verify,.Verify & document. I found a few people we need to double check. Use this skeleton to follow where to go look next. We will probably work your other Landry lines & then the unfinished mostly Quebec lines. Most Acadian family names have one founder. A few have several. There were two Landry founders both named Rene. We do not know how or if they are related. We do not have any surviving marriage dispensations. You have both.
