INTRODUCTION

HISTORY OF CANADA :

The history of Canada can be divided into two periods

a) The French Period 1608-1760

b) The English Period 1760 to this day

There are now ten provinces in Canada but the most important for this study is The

Province of Québec (called "Canada" by the French-Canadian Pioneers of Oregon)

The period we are researching is "the Fur Trade Period" which started after 1760 and

ended in 1830 when fur hats were no longer in style in Europe. The British were then in

charge of a former French country where all of the inhabitants were French speaking

Catholics. No Protestants had been allowed to settle in the French colony before 1760.

NAMES AND NICKNAMES :

Most of our ancestors came from France but you will find a few from Belgium (then

called Flandres) and from Germany (British authorities hired full companies of soldiers

from Hesse, around Berlin), add to that a few Portugese.

They had French names, of course but, most of the time they also had nicknames. The

nicknames were used to differentiate between parts of the family or to provide additional

information such as the residence of someone (if he is from Poitou, he may be called

Poitevin or Potvin, from Picardie, be called Picard, etc)

This is how it goes in a specific case :

Louis-André André/St-Amant

The name is Louis-André. At his baptism, he was put under the protection of two saints :

St-Louis and St-André. So he had a "double name".

The surname is André

The nickname is St-Amant

I have used the " / " (or slash) to replace the "dit" which means "said" or "also called"

It means that, in the catholic registers, you can find him under the name "André" or

"St-Amant".

1) All the soldiers in the French army had nicknames. Many of the ancestors of the

Oregonians were soldiers; these people were used to travel and adventure. (See

WIKIPEDIA – Régiment de Carignan-Salières (in French) and www.kronoskaf.com (in

English).

They were part of a "compagnie" or "company". Multiple companies formed a

"régiment" or "regiment". The most important regiment in the seventeenth century was

"Régiment de Carignan-Salières". It was attached to Canada from 1665 to 1668 but

about 400 decided to settle in Canada on farms attributed to them by the King. This first

regiment was replaced by "Compagnies Franches de la Marine" in1683. They had to

leave when the British took over in1760.

2) The mothers would die early, in childbirth mostly, and the father would remarry.

The children by the second wife would use a nickname to differentiate them from their

half brothers.

3) There were many people of the same name in each village, so nicknames would help

to link each person to the right ancestors.

Added to this were many other reasons for nicknames that are too complicated to explain.

PARISHES AND RELIGION :

The French-Canadians were mostly farmers and if they were not, they wanted to own

land. But they did not own the land, it belonged to the King. All they had was a right to

cultivate the land, right for which they paid rent.

They all belonged to the Catholic church and there was a church in each village alongside

the St. Lawrence River, the Richelieu and the Chaudière rivers. The registers were kept

very seriously by the parish priest to prevent people from marrying twice, once in France

and once in Canada.

For each ancestor of a pioneer of Oregon, I mentioned the name of the village in Canada

they were from, and if the name of the village had changed, I mentioned the new name.

This way everybody can find "their village of origin" on Google Maps.

http://www.kronoskaf.com/

TRADES :

Upon embarking for Canada, the French would specify their trade and that of their father.

Unfortunately, the parish priests did not go on with this french tradition and did not

mention the trade of the people they were marrying in Canada unless they were very

important people. That is the reason why you will read the terms "trade not mentioned"

in the lists.

PROVINCES OF France :

As you will find out many of our ancestors came from the western part of France; it was

near the sea! France before the Revolution of 1789 was divided into provinces as actual

Canada still is. For a map of the French Provinces (now they have Departments) see :

French)
