Hi Jeanine... Ursule Roy who married Joseph Doucet descends from Marie
Aubois who was the daughter of a Mik'maq according to church records.

Census: Cap-Sable 1693 Christine 35 [sic], Port-Royal 1698 Marie 33;
1701 36

According to the act of marriage rehabilitation of her daughter Anne,
written in the register for Port-Royal on 3 March 1706, Marie Aubois was
of Native blood.

Official documents: Port-Royal Registers

Source: Dictionnaire Généalogique des Familles Acadiennes by Stephen A.
White, page 37

Marie Aubois was married to Jean Roy dit Laliberté Abt. 1686

Depending on Joseph Doucet's lineage, there could be native connections
there also.

Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] Theotiste DOUCET, m. Marcelin GUIMOND 1806

Hello, all:

My third great-grandmother was Theotiste DOUCET (also called Gertrude,
and the
last name has many variant spellings), who married Marcelin GUIMOND on 6
May
1805 at St-Louis de Kent, New Brunswick, Canada.

Someone told me that she was actually of Native birth and adopted by her
parents
of record (Joseph DOUCET dit VILLEROY and Ursule ROY). I found her
marriage
record in St-Louis church records, but have not found her birth or
baptism
information.

Joseph and Ursule had six other children; why would they have adopted
this one?
Were they all adopted, or were Joseph and Ursule Native? The other
children
were born abt. 1773, 1783, 1785, 11 May 1788, 1792, and abt. 1797.
(Obviously
there are gaps in my records, part of which came off Stephen White's
genealogy
page and part from St-Louis records.) If Theotiste was 20 at her
marriage, she
would have been born about 1785.

I wish I could remember who told me about the Native aspect, but I
suspect it
may have been on this list.

Theotiste's granddaughter, Brigitte GUIMOND (dau. of Louis dit Louison
GUIMOND
and Euphrosine DOIRON), who married Placide ROBICHAUD in St-Louis, was
102 when
she died, and still had very dark hair at age 100 (I have a photo of
her). I
met her grandson Germain this summer, and he showed me a chart on which
Stephen
White had highlighted all the Native lines in yellow. Interesting--and
Theotiste was in the yellow part. Germain told me when he was a child
(he's
about 82, I think and still has dark hair), the Natives would come in
the summer
and set up camp on their land, and provide the family with baskets.

This is a great list, and I know somebody can help me, so thanks in
advance!
