TCasteel said...: I really like how you show the dispersement / migration of family on the maps. We also have Lefebvre lines.

descendant de Pierre Lefebvre said...: Thanks, Theresa! I haven't been able to keep the map up to date with all of the Lefebvre family migrations that I've found, but I hope to get back to it some day and add to it!; April 6, 2011 at 8:58 AM
AkasaWolfSong said...: I have a Pierre Lefebvre ( a few of them) in my family ancestry as well...I found this blog thru a quick research and was so pleased to see all of the work you've done. :) I will be following your blog now that I've found you. Maybe we are cousins somewhere down the line, eh?; December 23, 2013 at 11:33 AM

Pierre Lefebvre

Pierre Lefebvre was the son of Nicolas Lefebvre and Marie Vauverin. He was born in Villers-Sur-Mer, France.

Pierre Lefebvre emigrated to New France, apparently arriving in 1652. Pierre settled in the village of Fargy, in the seigneurie of Beauport, and is listed as being one of the first inhabitants of the village of Fargy.

During my research I found a Genealogical dictionary that stated that Pasquiere Lefebvre was the daughter of Nicolas Lefebvre and Marie Vauverin, which would, of course, make her the brother of Pierre Lefebvre. Now, however, I can not find that edition of the Dictionary. The most recent editions state only that "nothing is known" of the origins of Pasquiere Lefebvre. So the relationship of Pierre and Pasquire is left in doubt.

See also the web site:

descendantsdepasquierelefebvre.blogspot.com

for some of the descendants of Pasquiere. Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone is the most famous descendant of Pasquiere.

How to use this web site/Comment employer ce site

The best way to use this site is to look at the lists of names, by generation, on the right hand side of this page (and below this text), and to use the links within each entry to trace descendants (or ancestors).

La meilleure manière d'employer ce site est de regarder les listes de noms, par génération, du côté droit de cette page (plus bas dans cette page) et en cliquant les liens pour chaque entrée pour tracer les descendants.

The blog entries to the left hand side of the page only list the data in chronological order as I entered it, so it is not as easy to follow.

Les entrées du côté gauche de la page énumèrent les données selon l'ordre chronologique des ajouts comme je l'ai fait. Ils ne sont donc pas faciles à suivre.

If there is a link for one of the parent's names, then this parent is the direct descendant of Pierre Lefebvre and Marie Châtaigne. The other parent is not a direct descendant.

S'il y a un lien pour un de parents, il est le descendant direct de Pierre Lefebvre et de Marie Châtaigne. L'autre parent n'est pas un descendant direct.

If there is a link for the children, then these children also have descendants listed on this web site. Children without descendants are, unfortunately, without their own entry.

S'il y a un lien pour les enfants, alors ces enfants ont également des descendants énumérés sur ce site Web. Les enfants sans descendants sont, malheureusement, sans leur propre entrée.

A note concerning the sources of information found on this web site

I have tried to include only information from documented sources on this web site; for example, copies of birth, marriage and death records, lists of marriages and baptisms found in books on Québec genealogy or from books on Québec history.

In many cases I have used information from data bases which have transcribed mariage records from the Catholic Church in Québec. I assume that these sources are accurate.

I have generally not included information that can be found on other family trees and which has not been documented; for example, family trees that have been compiled by other individuals and posted on commonly available family tree web sites. However, in some cases I have included information that I have obtained from sources that I believe to be reliable, but have indicated that this information has not been verified by the note “NV” (not verified).

A note about the numbers following each person's name

The numbers that you see to the right of each person’s name is a number that I use to keep track of where the person is placed in the family tree. For example, Alfred Roy (to use an arbitrary example) is 2.2.3.3.1.1.3.2.2.1, meaning that he is the descendant of Pierre Lefebvre (2), Jean-Baptiste (second child of Pierre, therefore 2.2), Jacques Lefebvre (third child of Jean-Baptiste, therefore 2.2.3), Louis-Basile (third child of Jacques, therefore 2.2.3.3), and so on until Alfred, who is the first child of Alfred Roy and Agnes Varin (2.2.3.3.1.1.3.2.2.1, the final “1” meaning the first child).

You can determine the degree of relatedness between two persons on the family tree as follows:

A person with the same values in all but the last digit (e.g. 2.2.3.3.1.1.3.2.2.X) as the person being compared to is the brother or sister of the person being compared to.

A person with the same values in all but the last two digits (e.g. 2.2.3.3.1.1.3.2.X.X) as the person being compared to is the first cousin of the person being compared to.

A person with the same values in all but the last three digits (e.g. 2.2.3.3.1.1.3.X.X.X) as the person being compared to is the second cousin of the person being compared to, and so on, through third cousin, fourth cousin, etc.
