Salut! Blanca Pere, For the benefit of the majority of subscribers I shall respond in English language. However if you have any difficulty I will attempt to write in French. Much can be written on the literal translation of the name Pere such as meaning 'Father' or Prénom nom de son père, meaning Fathers given name. Or another meaning is the religious title, Father, as in a priest. Pere also means Volcano in Tahitian if that is of any interest ? All that being so, researching the name can be quite difficult. However, I wonder if you are aware of this family; Étienne DE ST-PÈRE born in 1602 St-Jean-d'Angély, Mortagne and died 18th of May 1639 at Saintonge, Charente-Maritime. He married Madeleine COUTEAU St-Jean-d'Angély, Mortagne in 1626. Two daughters were from this union, Jeanne who would die in far off Canada as would her sister Catherine. Both married in Canada. Hope this assists. Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
