Thank you Lynn, Jared and Judy for your replies to my Thomas Aube to Gertrude Roy marriage. I was able to view the record on the N.B. Archives sight. I have had this problem before with the surname of Aube / Lavigne. I wonder if anyone knows when the name change occured and why? I believe the surname was originally Lavigne. Thanks again Dick Aubé

Dick, I would venture a guess, originally, it was found as Lavigne dit Aube or Aube dit Lavigne. I believe the 2nd one is more likely, based on how many other surnames in Quebec area are found with "dit Lavigne" and the "dit Aube" sees rarer usage. Perhaps, when the earlier bunch left Quebec for New Brunswick, it was a matter of dropping one or the other. The same thing happened in Quebec, as the earlier spellings still used the "dit", but in more current surnames, it's apparently no longer used. Just a thought...

Hi Jared Thanks for your reply. There were two Aube brothers who came to New Brunswick from St. Gervais, Bellechase, Q.C. They were Augustin and Michel sons of Jean Baptiste & Marie Anne Pouliot. They definitely used the name Aube on their arrival. My guess, and I have yet to prove it, is that Augustin Aube who married Marie Sara Boudreau 1819 in Bathurst, had a daughter Euphrosine who married Peter Lavigne Dec 24, 1842 in Bathurst. I think their children went on to use both names of Lavigne and Aube. What are your thought on this?
