Marriage notes:

"There was a marriage contract, signed through a private agreement, between Francois Hebert and Anne Fauconnier, on 8 September 1644 at Mount-aux-Malades. The bride's dowry was 30 livres. The marriage banns between the two principals were published on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays in September 1644. The parents of the bride and groom were not named. However, the registry of Mont-aux-Malades reveals that a Fauconnier-Hebert son was baptized there on 7 January 1647. His godfather and godmother were Nicolas Fauconnier from 'Saint-Patrix' and Marguerite Fauconnier."

Marriage notes:

According to PRDH, Fancois Hebert and Jeanne Morineau signed a contract of marriage in an undetermined place in Quebec, Canada in 1678

"Francois Hebert fell in love with Jeanne Morineau, the mother of 5 living children: Robert, Pierre, Genevieve, Charles, and Jeanne born in November 1674."

"Jeanne Morineau was born about 1633 in the town of Bournezeau in the Vendee. She was the daughter of Timothee and of Regnee Bitonne, who came to the country under the protection of the king in 1663. Her first husband Pierre Petit dit Milhomme, died on 20 October 1676 at Saint-Anne du Petit-Cap..."

"Alas! the registers of Saint-Anne and L'Ange-Gardien are silent on the subject of the second marriage of Francois and Jeanne. The only proof that remains is the marriage contract singed in the presence of Claude Auber on 2 November 1678."

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.
