Marriage notes:

ST-ENFANT-JÉSUS-DE-LA-POINTE-AUX-TREMBLES

"THE ELDEST, BERNARD, BORN 8 SEPTEMBER 1671, SUCCUMBED TO THE CALL OF THE WILD. FROM 1688 TO 1702 HE WAS VERY OFTEN AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY, BECAUSE HE WAS A VOYAGEUR TRANSPORTING MERCHANDISE TO THE WEST. HE WOULD USUALLY RETURN WITH A CANOE FULL OF BEAUTIFUL AND PROFITABLE FURS. ON 29 JUNE 1697 AT POINTE-AUX-TREMBLES, BERNARD JOINED HIS HEART TO THAT OF MARIE CHARTIER DIT ROBERT, DAUGHTER OF GUILLAUME AND MARIE FAUCON. THE SULPICIEN CLAUDE LEBRETON BLESSED THEIR MARRIAGE WHICH WAS REWARDED BY FOURTEEN CHILDREN. SONS JEAN AND ROBERT TOOK UP THEIR FATHER'S TRADE THE BECAME COUREURS DE BOIS. ABBOT CHARLES DE LA GOULALIE, ON THE FIRST OF DECEMBER 1723, AT POINTE-AUX-TREMBLES, SAW BERNARD'S MORTAL REMAINS PLACED IN CONSECRATED LAND. ACCORDING TO CYPRIEN TANGUAY, WIDOW MARIE CHARTIER ONE DAY RETIRED TO THE CONGREGATION OF NOTRE-DAME UNDER THE NAME OF SISTER SAINTE-MARGUERITE. WE MAY NOTE THAT TODAY SEVERAL DESCENDANTS OF THIS BRANCH OF THE FAMILY BEAR THE SURNAME OF BERNARD."

What is a "dit/dite" Name?

When the first settlers came to Québec from France, it was a custom to add a "dit" nickname to the surname. The English translation of "dit" is "said." Colonists of Nouvelle France used dit names as distinguishers. A settler might use one to differentiate a branch of the family from siblings, sometimes choosing a name connected with the place to which the family had relocated.

A dit name could also result from a casual adoption or from honoring the family that had raised someone. In other cases it identified the town or village in France from which the person originated. The custom ended around 1900, when people increasingly used only one name, either the dit nickname or the original surname.
