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.

Anne FAUCONNIER was the child of Nicolas FAUCONNER and Marguerite JUSSIAUME


"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."

Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XV, Pages 123-124

"Francois Hebert and Anne Fauconnier were married at Mont-au-Malades on 5 October 1644. In France, the couple brought twin daughters into the world, Anne and Jeanne, born on 9 January 1645, and died a few days later; and Nicolas, baptized on 7 January 1647. Five children were born in New France: Guillaume, Jeanne, Renee-Madeleine, Louis, and Jacques."

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."
