Notes

• A short explanation on the name 'dit' - "dit" in French means "say" and in this context, it means "said" or "called." In other words, the name of his father, François (Pepin) Pépin for example, means that he had an ancestor named Pépin, but he uses the name Lachance instead. So, his father was François Pépin called Lachance, and he was Olivier Pépin called Lachance.
• Olivier's son, Julien Lachance dropped the dit name when he moved to Ontario from Quebec & was called 'Lachance'.
