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.

Beauchemin ancestral home
The home was originally built in the late 1600s in Varennes. It was in the Beauchemin family for over 300 years but then there was a family fight about it and it was left empty for a few years. Someone bought it at the end of the the last century and restored it lovingly. Modernized the inside but kept the outside as original as they could. In my book, it was the house where Marie and Nicolas went to live with their son Paul. On 22 April 1695 Nicolas and Marie renounced all ownership on all their possessions and gave it all to Paul, born in 1662, with the approval of all the other children and went to live with him. Paul was married the first time to Louise Bissonnette on January 8, 1691 and they had 5 children. His second marriage was to Marguerite Gamelin.
