Lagace/Mignier Marriages – A Canadian Family Tree (1) | Lagace/Mignier, Abraham to Bruno

This is the first in a series of posts in which I share marriages extracted from my database (A Canadian Family) where the groom was a Lagace/Mignier who descended from the Quebec pioneer couple Andre Mignier dit Lagace (Soldier of the Regiment Carignan) and the “fille du roi” – Jacquette Michel. The focus is on Quebec marriages from 1668 to 1921 in which the 20th century descendants carry the LAGACE surname (as opposed to Mignier or Meunier) You will also find  a  scattering of New Brunswick, Ontario and U.S. marriages.

As I have discussed elsewhere, the  “Lagace/Mignier cluster of surnames is very problematic for those who are new to Quebec genealogy. It is very common to find a given individual listed, for instance, as a Lagace/Mignier, a Mignier/Lagace, or just Lagace, or a variation of those names (e.g. Lagasse, Minier). In this database the surname was standardized to Lagace / Mignier.

 

1. SURNAMES They have been standardized and dit names and alternate spellings are frequently included.

2.  NAMES The forenames of Joseph or Mary (Marie) have been dropped.

3.  LOCATIONS Place names have been standardized to reflect Quebec’s current nomenclature and are placed in their respective administrative regions. Beginners take note: Many genealogists use only the original, documented  place names. You’ll need to decide what’s best for you.

4. MORE INFORMATION My database also contains : the parents of the female spouses and the parishes where the marriages below took place. You can contact me by leaving a question in the comment box below.

Evelyn in Montreal: Lagace m. Thiboutot, 1798, Quebec

Reader Elizabeth (Beth) Paradis said: “I was wondering if you have any information on Andre Lagace who married Martha Thiboutot on 16 Oct 1798.”

I do have information in my database about this individual which I had not yet published on the blog because I had found him listed under multiple names (Lagace, Mignier Lagace and Lagace Mignier) and wasn’t sure where he fit in. I’ve taken a second look and confirmed that he he attaches to the Lagace/Mignier family tree as a grandchild of Joseph Marie Lagace/Mignier & Felicite Cahouet (Caouette) who were married on Augusy 16th, 1730 in Cap-St-Igance (see N.10 Mignier dit Lagace: The Next Generations (Part 2).

Charles Mignier/Lagace, son of Joseph Marie Lagace/Mignier & Felicite Cahouet married Madeleine Aube, daughter of Francois Aubert/Aube and Francoise Berube on 14 October 1771 in La Pocatiere (Kamouraska, Quebec) Read more »

Evelyn in Montreal: Some Lagasses of Maine/Massachusetts/New Hampshire

Earlier this week I was contacted by Peter Lagasse of the Maine Mignier(Meunier)/Lagaces(Lagasse). Peter had already completed his line from Andre Mignier dit Lagace down to himself but wanted to doublecheck the data he’d collected against what I had in my database. The good news is that (with one exception see L.St-Hilaire) I was able to confirm Peter’s Quebec marriage dates with original documents or reputable indexes. This didn’t surprise me because Peter’s Reference List includes a wide-range of high quality sources that show him to be a methodical family history researcher.

Peter and I both descend from Andre Mignier’s great-grandson Basile Mignier dit Lagace but Peter descends through his first wife Madeleine Leclerc/Francoeur while I descend through Basile’s second wife  Catherine Dube.  Many of Basile’s descendants stayed in Quebec, but my branch migrated to Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada while Peter’s branch put down roots in New Hampshire, U.S.A.

I’ve already published the Lagace dit Mignier first three generations + and some of my Basil Mignier/Dube branch who migrated to Bathurst, New Brunswick, (see Portal-Lagace Mignier), so today I’m taking the opportunity to post the Basil Mignier/Leclerc descendants through their son Basile and daughter-in-law Genevieve Viel. I am including only those marriages that are in my official database which specializes in Lagace/Mignier genealogy in Quebec and New Brunswick up to 1911.

*  *  *  *  *

FIRST GENERATION

1. Basile Lagace/Mignier (son of Basile Mignier/Lagace and Madeleine Leclerc Francoeur) married Genevieve Viel in 1798 in St-Andre, Kamouraska (Bas-St-Laurent), Quebec, Canada.  Genevieve’s parents were Michel Viel and Genevieve Dumont. A child from this marriage was: +2 M i. Joseph Paul Lagace/Mignier.

SECOND GENERATION

2. Joseph Paul Lagace/Mignier’s (Basile 1) first wife was Elisabeth Drapeau and they were married on 24 Sep 1827 in St-Nicolas, Levi (Chaudiere-Appalaches), Quebec. Elisabeth was the daughter of Simon Drapeau and Marie Demers. Children from this marriage included: +3 F i. Isabelle Lagace/Mignier +4 M ii. Jean Baptiste Lagace/Mignier. + 5 F iii. Rosalie Lagace Mignier. +6 M iv. Francois Lagace/Mignier +7 M v. Paul Lagace/Mignier. +8 M vi. Anselme Lagace Mignier.

Joseph Paul’s second wife was Marie-Monique Wagner, daughter of Jean Baptiste Wagner and Monique Martineau. They were married on 13 Feb 1849 in St-Nicolas, Quebec.


THIRD GENERATION

3. Isabelle Lagace/Mignier (Joseph Paul 2, Basile 1) married Magloire Wagner on 11 Aug 1851 in St-Nicolas, Quebec. His parents were also Jean Baptiste Wagner and Monique Martineau.

4. Jean Baptiste Lagace/Mignier (Joseph Paul 2, Basile 1) married Caroline Huot/St Laurent (daughter of Louis Huot and Flavie Dubois) on 17 Jul 1860 in St-Nicolas, Quebec. Lagasse  Children from this marriage included: +9 M i. Joseph Lagace Mignier. + 10 F ii. Anne Lagace/Mignier.

5. Rosalie Lagace/Mignier (Joseph Paul 2, Basile 1) married Benjamin Laine/Laliberte on 20 Jun 1865 in St-Nicolas (Levi ) Chaudiere-Appalaches, Quebec. His parents were Anthime Laine and Marie Paquet. Read more »
