Adelaide Barbeau

• Dite Boisdore is her ancestral French dit name. It identifies or distinguishes something about the person or family. Boisdore was also spelled Bois Dor, or Bois Dore in France. Her dit name was carried from France to Nouvelle France and French Louisanne by her French Barbeau family. It refers to a master craftsman gold guilder or gold wood gilding. It remains a modern gold gilding definition. Dit Boisdore may have also referred to a French seigneury ( wood producing plantation) named Boisdore, Bois-Barbeau or Bois-Barbot in France. Eventually French dit name use was dropped as families became nationalized in North America and discontinued in France after the French Revolution. She received dit Boisdore from her Barbeau family in Nouvelle France.Baraboo-1 19:19, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
