Joseph (Barbeau) Barboo has French origins.

Joseph Barbeau [Barboo]

• His ancestral French dit name was dit Boisdore. Dit Boisdore is a French dit noun. It identifies or distinguishes something about the person or family. Boisdore was also spelled Bois Dor, or Bois Dore. This dit name was carried from France to Nouvelle France and French Louisanne by his 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 dit use was dropped as families became nationalized in North America and discontinued in France after the French Revolution
• His ancestral family surname was Barbeau. His surname was probably Barbeau at birth because he was born in New York and later transitioned to Barboo after his father migrated to Wisconsin. The transition of the surname may have been to distinguish or "Americanize" it from other Barbeau families that migrated to Wisconsin during the same time period which is often a French custom. His father's memorial reads Barboo. Surname variants include; Barboo, Baraboo, Barbeau, Barbor. Last name spelling in the Michigan Death Certificate, 1910 census, 1940 census and his memorial stone are "Barboo."Baraboo-1 12:00, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
