The LeBretons | Pioneer Families of Caraquet

Index: Pioneer Families of Caraquet

These micro posts present the first generation of each of the families that established different surnames found in Caraquet, New Brunswick. Most of the information is drawn from Fidele Theriault’s genealogical dictionary “Les Familles de Caraquet”. His book is in French and offers a lot more information including family trees of the first generations (with precise dates)  and in many cases explanations of how the first pioneers arrived in Caraquet and other fascinating anecdotes. If you don’t have access to the book you can contact me for extra information by leaving a comment underneath this post.

 

Charles (also known as Emmanuel) and Marie Henriette Le Breton are the earliest known couple.

They had the following children:

 

• Jean / Johnny (m.1860,  Philomene Frigault, formerly married to Julien Brianceau)
• Phoebee
• Samuel
• Rose (m. 1869, Honore Morais, son of Augustin Morais and Modeste Gallien).
