Did You Know? Québec Généalogie - 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'. The Colonists of Nouvelle France added 'dit' names as distinguishers. A settler might have wanted to differentiate their family from their siblings by taking a 'dit' name that described the locale to which they had relocated. The acquiring of a 'dit' name might also be the result of a casual adoption, whereby the person wanted to honor the family who had raised them. Another reason was also to distinguish themselves by taking as a 'dit' name the town or village in France from which they originated. This custom ended around 1900 when people began using only one name, either the 'dit' nickname or their original surname.

birth1640 Birth
9 March 1640
St-Ours, Loches, Tours, France
1640 Baptism
'...Michel was baptized in the church of Saint-Ours, on 9 March 1640. It all corresponded with the contract and marriage act drawn up 25 years later at Quebec. Michel was indeed the son of Jacques Chretien and Catherine Nivard. The officiating priest N. Poussier indicated that the godfather and godmother were Louys Douard and Anne Nivard, probably relatives of their tiny godson.'

Thomas J. Laforest
Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XVII, Page 29
Arrival in New France about 1662
'On 27 February 1665, in the presence of the notary Paul Vachon, he accepted from Father Claude Dablon, administrator for the College of the Jesuits at Quebec, a concession in the seigneurie of Notre-Dame-des-Anges, in the place called Charlesbourg. He lived there until death called him more than a half-century later.'

'That date of 27 February let it be understood that the pioneer from Touraine arrived in New France at the latest in the preceding year, perhaps even 1662, if we take into account the duration of the indenture contracts of this era, i.e., generally for three years...'
