A Canadian Family

Michel Mignier dit Lagace & Marguerite Pelletier of Riviere-Ouelle, Quebec

In my first two posts I covered the children and grandchildren of Andre Mignier dit Lagace and Jacquette Michel, and in the third I followed up with the Basil Lagace/Catherine Dube branch which left Riviere-Ouelle for Bathurst, New Brunswick. Basil and Catherine were my direct ancestors. Today I want to return to Basil’s original family in Riviere-Ouelle and take a look at the families of his brothers and sisters who stayed for the most part in the area of Kamouarska and Temiscouata (although some of the lines stop short and perhaps those descendants moved to the United States).

Basil  was the son of Michel Mignier dit Lagace and Marguerite Pelletier who had been  married in St-Roch-des-Aulnaies (L’Islet), Quebec on January 9th, 1736.  Michel and Marguerite had nine children:  Michel, Jean Charles, Michel Joseph, Francois Jean, Marguerite, Marie Josephte, Anne and Barthelemi. I’ve found marriages for all of the Mignier dit Lagace/Pelletier children with the exception of  Barthelemi who died as an infant.

Basile’s Sisters

MARGUERITE  MIGNIER dit LAGACE (born in 1749) married Andre D’Amours Courberon in Ste-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere, Quebec on April 11th, 1768. They had at least one child – Augustin D’Amours - who married a Catherine Pelletier on September 8th, 1812.

ANNE MIGNIER dit LAGACE married Pierre Berube on November 8th, 1779 in Riviere-Ouelle, Quebec. They had at least one son Pascal Berube who married Charlotte Levesque on September 11th, 1809 (also in Riviere-Ouelle).  There is another possible daughter – Marie-Anasthasie Berube - who married a Charles Plourde in 1804, but her father’s name was listed as Pierre MATHURIN Berube – so I’m not sure it’s the same family.
