This is a series of micro posts about the pioneers of Shippagan in Gloucester County, New Brunswick. Each post is organized around initial information from Msg.

Theriault’s Les Families de Caraquet and is now being gradually enriched with information from other sources. These are mostly French-language sources and some aren’t easily available, so if you need more information please leave your questions in the comment box below  🙂

Note: Mgr Donat Robichaud Genealogical and Historical Research Collection (FR): [Mrs. John Albert,1904, of Bangor, Maine visits her father Guillaume S. Chiasson for several weeks. Mrs. Albert, for health reasons, came to pass the hot months in Shippagan. We’re happy to report that her arrival among us caused great joy because she’d been away for nine years. She lived in Montreal and then last year she went to the States to join her brother who had been living in Maine for 14 years. There she was married. At the beginning of August she needs to return and will pass by Montreal and Boston in order to visit some friends, and then she’ll go to Bangor, Maine where she lives. Her husband’s been manager of a brick factory in Bangor for several years. She met him there at her brother’s who has a hotel in Bangor.]   [Pauline Albert, 1940, On November 11th, Pauline Albert and Rolande Gervais will give a home economics workshop at the Assemblee de l’Institut at Mrs. Philippe Hebert’s], [Father Albert,1921, Rev. Lambert, Cure of St.Hilaire (Madawasska) hosted cure Albert last Sunday].
