Marriage notes:

"Louise-Therese became the life companion of the ancestor Pierre Albert, son of Rene and of Marie Clemenceau, on 27 November 1702, at Riviere-Ouelle. Pierre and Louise-Therese made life shine 9 times, before becoming the head of a great tree."

Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XIX, Page 125

"Who was this Louise-Therese Grondin, ancestress of numerous descendants by way of Pierre Albert? Her father was Jean Grondin, originally from Sainte-Marie de Brouage, canton place, on 4 August 1669, he married Sainte Migneault, daughter of Jean and of Louise Cloutier... Louise-Therese was born there [La Pocatiere] on 17 October 1684. She was not baptized until 3 January 1685 by the missionary Paul Sennemaud. This act was the first in the registry of Riviere-Ouelle. Her baptismal name was Louise. The addition of the first name of Therese was used, it seems, to distinguish her from her older sister Louise who became the wife of Charles Miville in 1697..."

Origin of Surname
ALBERT
(German.) All bright or famous; beort or bert, signifies famous, fair, and clear, bright; so Sebert and Ethelbert were sometimes written Se bright and Ethel bright. All, Eal and AEl, in old English and Saxon compound names, have the same signification as the English All, as Al-dred, Al-win, etc.

Biography
'Pierre Albert's contract of indenture for Canada, if there was one, has not been found. We are also unaware of the name of the ship in which he crossed the Atlantic at the very end of the seventeenth century. Alas! at his wedding celebrated in 1702, Pierre did not sign a contract in the presence of a notary. Father Bernard de Roqueleyne recorded the marriage act of Pierre in the registry of Rivere-Ouelle, omitting his original French village; but he specified: 'from the diocese of Lucon'. This detail currently leads more than one research to look through the archives of la Vendee with a fine tooth comb. Pierre Albert, son of Rene and of Marie Clemenceau, was a Vendeen...'
