Early Acadian Pioneers of Caraquet, New Brunswick
Olivier Blanchard & Catherine Admirault dit Mirau

Joseph Chiasson & Anne Hache
David Comeau & Olive Young (wife non-Acadian)
Alexis Cormier & Elisabeth Gauthier
Zacharie Doiron & Anne LeVicaire
Etienne Doucet & Marie Landry
Joseph Dugas & Agathe Landry
Rene Haché & Marguerite Blanchard
Joseph Hebert & Marie-Joseph Vincent
Alexis Landry & Claire Leblanc
Olivier Legere & Marie-Joseph Hebert
Charles Pinet dit Lejeune & Marie Testard
Charles Poirier & Madeleine Landry
Francois Savoie & Anne Poirier
Joseph Theriault & Marie-Joseph Girouard (my direct ancestors)
Note: I have included couples who appear in Fidele Thériault’s “Familles de Caraquet” and who carry a surname associated with Acadians at the time of the deportation. There are other surnames (e.g. Brideau and my Lagaces) which appear on later “Acadian surname” lists. This happened as French Canadians married into – and then identified with – the Acadian population.

Thanks for posting this information. My grandfather Joseph John Lewis Dugas b. 29 Mar 1892 in Caraquet, NB to parents Simon Dugas and Leuce Godin came and settled in Lowell, MA. I am tried learning French in high school and kick my butt now for not learning to read it. I heard that one of our Dugas relatives was supposed to be a supreme court judge there but as of yet have been unable to find any information. Thanks for posting this for it helps in my research.
Hello Craig,
It’s nice to hear from you. Have you already traced your line up to Joseph Dugas and Agathe Landry?
I’ll see if there’s anything on your Dugas judge.

Hello Evelyn,
I have traced my family back to Abraham 2nd Dugas also my maternal line all the way back to one of the mother of Acadia Ann Brenon. I did find my judge but he was a Superior Court Judge. His name was Albany M Robichaud 22 Jul 1903 in Shippegan to 27 Oct 1974 Bathurst. He was also the Mayor of Bathurst from 1945 to 1947. He was married to a Dorina Cormier who I know would be my most recent connection to for my roots are Dugas/Cormier from Caraquet. I just started this search but so far have not confirmed her parents. I am leaning towards a Sylvester Cormier being her father but am still working on that. I am also trying to locate myseld a copy of the book (Theriault Fidele (1985) Les Familles de Caraquet. ISBN 0-9692151-0-X) to buy but am having no luck locating anyone selling it. Keep digging! Cheers, Craig Dougherty

Looking for a book:
Les Familles De Caraquet
by, Fidele Theriault
Any Idea where I can find it.
Thanks
I purchased the book “Les Familles De Caraquet” at the Musee Acadiens in Caraquet. Perhaps they can send you a copy.
I am seeking the parents, and beyond, of Judith Dugas, m. Francois d’Assisi Theriault
This is for a friend’s chart…
Any help is gratefully appreciated
Thank You,
Claude Arsenault
