Thanks for the comment!
Interesting post above. My husband descends from Pierre Meunier and Barbe Richaume.
In fact, my husband’s ancestry is over 1/4 French-Canadian. His maternal grandfather was entirely French-Canadian, and his maternal grandmother was half. Someday I hope to visit Quebec, New Brunswick (where my husband’s paternal brick wall is waiting for me to break it down!), and Nova Scotia (where my own worst brick wall exists).
I’m definitely going to have to begin following your blog!
Hi Wendy. My ancestors descend from Pierre Meunier and Barbe Richaume. I am working on the LaPierre family. Do you have information on Pierre Meunier? If not email me and I will reply when I check my email.
Thanks!
The New Brunswick brick wall is not one of my husband’s French-Canadian ancestors. Fortunately, they left plenty of records.
It’s a Loyalist family. Aaargh! LOL So someday I must visit Fredericton and St. John. Someday.
Hi, I’m needing help. I’m trying to find info on my dad’s side. His name was Arthur Meunier, son of Wilfred Meunier and Victoria Brasseur. They came to New Bedford Ma. sometime in the early 1900′s. I know nothing about why they left Canada and who my great grandparent were.
My dad was born in St. Pie, Quebec in 1892 and grandad signed documents as Meunier dit Lapierre.
Any information would be truly appreciated.

Who was your grandfather that signed Meunier dit LaPierre?
Andre Mignier dit Lagace (1640-1727) and Jacquette Michel (1630-1710). Jacquette Michel was a “filles du roi” and a widow of Jean Gardin. Nothing more at this time.
