Bergeron Family Name Origin

The Bergeron family is one of ancient French origin. In the 10th century when surnames started to form, the name Berger was given to those caring for lambs, ewes, and sheep. Bergeron means "little shepherd".

Bergeron Coat-of-Arms

The family bears the coat-of-arms; Gules au chevron d'or acc. de trois croisettes d'argent. The family seat is at Toulouse, France per an entry in the Genealogical and Family History of Maine. Vol. 2.

Pierre Bergeron History

Pierre and four of his sons arrived in Quebec around 1665. Catherine died around the same time or earlier. Pierre was most likely recruited by a merchant named Eustache Lambert who frequently traveled to La Rochelle from Canada. Eustache had accompanied the Jesuits in their missions to the West from 1645 to 1647. He owned land in Lauzon, Quebec and was one of the earliest settlers there. Pierre and his sons were hired by Eustache in 1666 in Quebec City and lived on Eustache's farm called the Housing of St. Mary located on the coast of Lauzon in 1667 per census records. Pierre and Andre obtained a grant of eight acres between Eustache Lambert and John Carpenter's land on December 10, 1670. Pierre dies before 1681 in Lauzon, just before the census.

As others have, I have been unsuccessful in proving Pierre came to New France with his four sons. It appears there is some conflation originating with the 1666 census. Fichier only provides that:

Il (Andre, Migrant arrivé avec son père (Pierre) fut domestique pour Eustache Lambert. Un frère et trois soeurs sont n/b à St-Saturnin-du-Bois (St-Saturnin): Susanne, 29-09-1640; Catharine, 01-10-1643; François, 08-08-1645 et Anne, 29-01-1647.

Pierre may be related to some Bergeron's already in New France, but there is no evidence of. The English bio does not match the French Bio. The debate has been present for some 5 years. Saving any objections, I'll come back round to editing the bio, and add research notes to reflect what has been revised.

Bergeron-781 and Bergeron-257 appear to represent the same person because: Looks like 781 may have incorrect family info but the dates are exactly the same for birth and death.

I have been unable to find reputable sources that provide parentage for Pierre Bergeron. Baptisms were not being recorded in Saint-Saturnin in the early 1600s, and marriages are only available starting in the late 1600s. There's no reason to believe that someone with his surname would have descended from a family living in Bourbon-Lancy, Béthisy-Saint-Pierre, and Paris.

Please provide clear sourcing to support the assertion that four of his sons accompanied him to New France. I've reviewed the LAFRANCE database, PRDH, and Francogene, and can only find mention of André.
