This series of Early French Canadian Pioneer microposts is dedicated to the earliest settlers of Quebec. If you are new to the genealogy of French-speaking Canadians, please be aware that the earliest French settlers can also descend from the Acadian pioneers who originally settled in what are now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In addition, please note that any Native related links refer back to other posts citing census, marriage or other documents with indigenous or Metis individuals of that surname, however those individuals do not necessarily descend from those particular French Canadian settlers. All these posts are intended as Finding Aides – a place to find possible clues and start your own research!

Joseph-Gabriel Bertin | Biographical notes | Source: BMS2000

As mentioned above, Joseph-Gabriel Bertin and Marie-Josephe Lefebvre were married on November 10th, 1760 in Cap-Sante, Quebec. Joseph Gabriel was born on January 1st, 1725 and baptized on January 28th, 1735 in Parthenay (St-Jean) (Deux-Sevres) 79202 (France). His parents were Joseph Bertin and Catherine Poisson who were married on November 12th, 1720 in the same parish as above. Joseph Bertin (his father) was a “brigadier des archers” which I would presume is a brigadier of archers.

The first mention of Joseph-Gabriel Bertin in Quebec shows that he was here before 1757, and that he was a sergeant in Montcalm’s troups (Languedoc Regiment).

Joseph-Gabriel’s mother Catherine Poisson was baptised on December 3rd, 1699 in St-Maixent (St-Saturnin)
Joseph-Gabriel’s father Joseph Bertin (son of Jean and Louise Ethiou/Desiou) was baptized on April 8th, 1701 in Parthenay (St-Jean).
Joseph-Gabriel had four siblings: Joseph, Catherine-Therese, Marie-Louise.
