Hi I'm a new member and I'm trying to get informations on my grand mother Adèle Breton dite Kirouac (Kerouac) The ancestor of the Kirouac (Kerouac) (Kervoac) Family in Canada Was Urbain-François Le Bihan de Kervoac born in Huelgoat around 1702. On is quest to Nouvelle-France Canada he changes is name to Alexandre.
His first appearance in official records was his signature as a witnessto the wedding of a friend in 1727. This he signed as Hyacinthe Louis AlexandreLe Bihan de Kervoac
.
Alexandre’s free and easy existence was to change
in 1732. Arriving back in the village of Cap St-Ignace, some 40 miles east of Quebec, he was approached by members of the family of an unmarried twenty-year-old woman, Louise Bernier, who had given birth to a son, Simon-Alexandre, eight months earlier. The baby, she insisted, was Alexandre’s and so, a few days later, on October 22, 1732,he found himself being married to Louise.he signed his name as Maurice-Louis Le Bris de Kerouac. The name LeBihan had vanished, never again to appear in Canadian records. But whydid he become Le Bris?
, when his second son,Jacques was born in 1733. Shortly after the birth of his third son, Louis, in1735, the couple left the Bernier home and settled in Kamouraska,But Alexandre de Kerouac, as he was now known, was not to live there forlong. He died in his mid-thirties on March 6, 1736. His wife Louise survived tothe grand age of 91, and their eldest son, Simon-Alexandre, went on to fatherthirteen children of his own, becoming the main branch in the Kerouac familytree. This is were I stand now trying to sort all these Names, How can I find my grand mother parents. Records are not that easy to locate.
