It’s a well-known fact that Dennis Lagasse IV is very proud of his ancestor André Mignier since 2011 when we connected for the first time in October 2011.
Dennis being very proud of his ancestor is a well-known fact if he is your friend on Facebook of course…
Dennis posted this on a forum in February 2004.
I’m the son of Lionel Lagasse and the grandson of Levi N. Lagasse and Marie Louise (Dube) Lagasse. Levi was one of twelve children born to my great-grandfather Dennis, and the Lagasse name was spelled with a “y” at the end for a time. My great-grandfather Dennis was killed in 1921 in an industrial accident while working in Bristol CT. U.S.A. Are there any others with a great-grandfather Dennis in their family tree?
In 2004 I was not interested a bit about genealogy, but in 2011 when he contacted me after Googling something on Google it opened many doors.
Going back to Catherine de Baillon, it’s a well-known fact she came from a well-known family. She has no Facebook page though, but she has a lot of descendants.
Most of her descendants don’t know that fact.
What is not well-known, and probably will never be, is why she came to New France in the first place.
I used to be a little sarcastic when I wrote about Emeril, my 8th cousin.
When people know they are linked to the Lagacés or the Lagasses, they get all excited and they want to know if they are related to Emeril.
I am not.
I get excited only when I discover new things about your ancestors whether they are related to Emeril…
Madonna,
Celine Dion…or Brad Pitts.
Brad Pitts!
That’s a joke. I know nothing about his roots.
Getting back to Catherine de Baillon, she was une fille du Roi.
That’s how people called unmarried women leaving France to get married in New France. They were not the real daughters of the king.
Here are Catherine de Baillon’s ancestors… She has a few kings as direct ancestors.

Catherine married Jacques Miville dit Deschênes on November 12, 1669. They had these children:
I MIVILLE Marie-Catherine (1670-1715)
II MIVILLE dit Deschesnes Charles (1671-1743)
III MIVILLE dit Deschênes Jean (1672-1711)
IV MIVILLE dit Deschênes Marie (1675-1677)
V MIVILLE dit Deschênes Charles (1677-1758)
VI MIVILLE dit Deschênes Marie-Claude (1681-…)
Charles Miville dit Deschênes dit le jeune, born in 1677, is Dennis Lagasse IV’s ancestor on the Dubé side thanks to his grandmother Marie-Louise.
That’s not a joke Dennis…
Charlemagne is your direct ancestor.
Now, are you related somewhat to Dennis Lagasse IV?
If you are, then Merry Christmas, and may God bless all your descendants.
See you in 2013.

You’re the reason I continue to write this blog.
Nous, au Québec, parlons toujours français, et avec fierté. Ma mère a conservé le nom de son père : Mainville.
Je ne saisis pas trop votre commentaire, mais votre nom de famille m’intéresse par contre.
Hello Pierre: I am also a descendant of Catherine Baillon (9th great grandmother) through her son Jean Miville (Marie-Magdeleine Dube) and then Pierre Francois Miville (Marie Paradis) and then Marie Josephe Miville (Noel Augustin Brisson) and then Amable Brisson du Tilly (Marguerite Richer LeFleche) and then Marie-Egyptienne Brisson (Alexis Dube) and then Treffle Dube (Sophie Paris) my 3rd great grandparents ….and then Marie Helene (Ellen) Dube and Jean (John Bessette) followed by Emma Bessette (William Chambers Endall) my great grandparents… followed by Edgar Orville Endall (Esther Gertrude Rogers), my grandparents and then [ ], my parents and then me.
I guess we are all family… can’t wait to talk to you all more.
I just love these kind of comments on my blog…
I have edited the last part of your comment…
But not this part…
can’t wait to talk to you all more.
I don’t have that branch in my family tree, but I will find a relationship…
http://www.miville.com/miville4/729.html
I will have to check your information.
I have this…
Marie-Josephte was married to Andre-Basile Autin and also to Jacques Labourliere Laplante.
Another Marie-Josephte married to Augustin Brisson was the daughter of Suzanne Guay and Joseph Miville.
Hello –
Today it’s Nov 21st/2013 I have read your blog with interest.
My first ancestors were the Hugenots who arrived in Acadie in 1602. My First New France Ancestor was Abraham Martin who sailed from Dundee, Scotland in his little ship “The Salamander.” The Battle for Quebec was fought on his concession of land about a hundred years after his death. That was The Plains of Abraham.
My grandmother Sophie Bernard is my royal gateway to Catherine de Baillon. Catherine de Baillon did arrive with a ship full of Filles du Roi but she was not sent by the King. She came as a passenger to marry Jacques. She actually paid her own way. I have followed these royal gateways as far as 483 years before the birth of Christ.
I have been doing French Canadian genealogy for forty years.
Please contact me as I have a lot of research to share.
I will contact you.

My Grandmother was the daughter of Octave and Emma Deschenes who had 17 children.
I was also told I was related to Charlemagne.I find this all so interesting.It is a journey to find my ancestor’s since they had large families.
I have come across this site by searching for my Grandmother. I was told that she ( Rita Mary Parent) had a mother named Philomena Canuel and Elphege Parent. The story I was told coincides with the Caron/Gagnon incident in Canada. My DNA as well as my Parents have been tested through Ancestry. The DNA matches me and my parents with ALL of the names involved in that murder. Mom and dad don’t know anything apparently. Can anyone help ??
Bonjour Cousine,
Je suis le fils de Pauline Mainville.
Je suis descendant direct de Jacques Miville et de leur père, Pierre Miville “Le Suisse”, mercenaire de Louis XIV, le Roi Soleil. Il arriva au Canada dans la cinquantaine. C’est possiblement le plus vieux immigrant du 17e siècle en N-F.
Je suis donc descendant d’une longue dynastie royale d’Europe.
Je suis le prétendant du trône d’Amérique (Ah! Ah!)

J’espère que ces lectrices lisent l’anglais pour lire votre commentaire.
Je vois que vous avez le sens de l’humour. J’aime bien les gens qui ont le sens de l’humour à l’exception de Guy A. Lepage qui a traité les filles du roi des prostituées.
Avez-vous des ancêtres Rondeau dans le coin de St-Norbert?
Reblogged this on Our Ancestors and commented:
A reflection about genealogy and famous people…
Great post for Catherine de Baillon Pierre!
No… the greatest one is just after this one…
Just kidding…
What? Come on, you have to have another one! That one looked like a lot of work went into it though.:-)
Not work… FUN!
So, I picked this random name off a list, Catherine de Baillon, as the subject for my gr. 8 history project, not knowing anything about her except the fact that she was married in 1669. So I just did my project. I found out that she has a whole webpage dedicated to her! And after a little digging, I learned she was a direct descendant of Charlemagne! This is crazy! My history assignment just got a lot more interesting.
There are so many people who have no idea of this Gabrielle.
As a footnote…
As a retired teacher I give you an A+
Hello! Guess what? I’m related to you as well. Someone just did our family tree and Philip Amiot and Anne Couvent I think it is spelled? Which are the grandchildren generation of Catherine de Baillon.I was just saying hello. I do think your family photos do look like my family photos in history..like their facial features. High cheek bones dark hair. –Kelli Moody
I am not related to Catherine de Baillon, but that’s beside the point… I have enjoyed your comment.
