WORK & OCCUPATION
Occupation
Recorded occupation:Soldat du regiment de Carignan
The soldat, or soldier, is the first military rank in the army, at the first level of military hierarchy.
Some of the first soldiers to set foot on Canadian soil were French or English men, hired by companies engaged in exploration or the fur trade. These companies were responsible for all costs associated with the soldiers: recruitment, overseas travel, equipment, maintenance and salary. The soldiers were responsible for protecting the expeditions and their interests. Source: tfcq.ca
Helpful background for understanding names and places that may appear in Pierre's Québec records.
Québec Place Names Through History
Québec has been described by several names during different periods of its history. Knowing the period name can make older records easier to recognize.
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.
