Please take a few minutes and
read the Introductory information. It explains how to use the family number that
is unique to each family and how to use that information to build a family tree.
It also contains other useful information to understand how the genealogical
data is presented.
Introduction
There has been a desire for a number of years to put in print the genealogy
of the Doucet Family. We want to, first of all, record a history for our
children, and secondly, record a history for cousins, far and near. This labor
is one of sharing information about a family, and then one of gaining joy, as
others begin to know of the heritage that is theirs.
The Doucet family may not be "great" in the eyes of the world as measured by
producing great public figures. But it is great because it is a family who
worked hard, believed in God and who, in their own way, provided an example for
the later generations to follow. This family was a family of pioneers who helped
establish colonies in Acadie (Nova Scotia) and in Louisiana. These people were
patriotic, serving in the military to support their government in protecting
their beliefs. But above all, these people were dedicated to their families,
people who built homes and tilled the soil. These people are our family,
providing each succeeding generation with life and heritage. In honor of them we
search and write.
This is primarily the genealogy of the descendants of Germain Doucet, born
about 1595 in France. It is organized by generations, listing each known
descendant's family and extending their lines from this earliest known Doucet on
the North American continent to the present.
Following the genealogy of this main Doucet family are entries on families
and individuals that have not been linked at the present into this main family.
This is a beginning. The record is obviously not complete. This project began
by tracing the male descendants' families to provide a basic frame-work to begin
"fleshing" out the family tree. Over time additional information was received
from others researching the Doucet family. This has all been added to the family
tree. This project will continue as research is done to include as many of the
descendants and their families as possible. Ideas, comments and, most
importantly, information are solicited in trying to put together a more complete
picture. It is not the intent to embarrass any person. The only desire in
compiling this material is to share with cousins, near and far, their ancestry.
Forgiveness is asked of anyone who might be offended by any item of information
contained herein.
Organization of Data
Below are two items on how the genealogical data is organized using family
numbers and how families that descend from two different lines that intermarry
are handled to avoid duplication.
The Numbering System
One of the primary purposes for presenting the genealogical data in the
format used is to assist in developing one's family tree. To simplify this
endeavor, a numbering system was designed to aid you in constructing your own
family tree, trace other families and to determine your relationship to other
members of the Doucet family.
Each individual is given a "family number." This family number is devised as
follows:
a. Members of each family are numbered according to the chronological order
of their birth, where it is known, or in the order shown in the source document.
b. The families are then arranged in sequential order according to their
family number. Although all children are numbered, there will be numbers missing
in the sequential listing of families in subsequent generations due to only
listing those with known families.
The majority of the information pertains to descendants of Germain Doucet,
born about 1595. All family numbers of his descendants begin with the number
one, followed by a period (1.). All of the descendants of his first child
(Pierre) will have 1.1 as the first two digits of their family numbers, and all
descendants of Pierre's first child (Anne) would have 1.1.1 as the first three
digits of their family numbers.
Nearly all of the Doucets in Louisiana, except those from Terrebonne and
Lafourche Parishes, are descended from Michel Doucet, born in 1722, whose family
number is 1.4.3.4.2. Those in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes are primarily
descended from Jean Baptiste Doucet (1.4.2.1.3-5) and Francois Doucet
(1.4.2.1.3-6).
The descendants of Pierre Doucet (of Alabama) are also included. There family
mumbers begin with the letter P (P.).
The above rules for the family numbers are then followed. To make it easier
to read the family numbers I have used a dash between the fifth and sixth digits
and between the tenth and eleventh digits.
Same Family Descending from Two Different
Lines
There are instances where two individuals married who were both lineal
descendants of Germain Doucet. For consistency and to avoid confusion and
duplication of information, the children will be listed and the family continued
under the husband. It is noted under the wife where to find the children.
Constructing a Family Tree
Below are two items on how to construct your own family tree and how to
determine relationships of individuals within the family tree.
How to Construct Your Own Family Tree
To trace your family, use the Index of Names to locate yourself or your
ancestor who is in the genealogical data. This will provide you with a family
number. From this point use the hyperlinks to go back one generation at a time,
through each preceding generation to find that person's parents and family,
until you get back to Germain or Pierre. Write down each family in numerical
order and you have your family tree.
Determining Relationships
Once the numbering system is understood it becomes simple to find how you are
related to any other member of the family using the family numbers and the
attached Relationship Chart.
a. If two people are in the same generation:
(1) Find your family number.
(2) Find the family number of the other person to which you
want to determine the relationship to.
(3) Count back, beginning with the last digit, until you get
to the first common number. Count the last digit as "0", the next to last digit
"1", etc. (4) Find the number on the Relationship Chart
and trace down the column and across the line until they intersect. This is the
relationship.
Example: Your number is: | 1.4.3.4.2-1.4.1.6.4-5.3.1 |
Other number is: | 1.4.3.4.2-1.3.8.1.6-3.4.3 |
Count back to common number (1): | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
Go down the "7" column until it intersects with the "7" row |
Relationship: 6th Cousins |
b. If two people are from different generations:
(1) Follow the first three steps above.
(2) To determine the relationship of the younger generation
to the older generations, go down the left side until you find the larger of the
two numbers. Then go across the top until you find the smaller number. The
intersection of the column and line shows the relationship.
(3) To determine the relationship of the older generation to
the younger generation, go down the left side until you find the smaller of the
two numbers. Then go across the top until you find the larger number. The
intersection of the column and line shows the relationship.
Example: Your number is: |
1.4.3.4.2-1.4.1.6.4-5.3.3 |
| Other number is: | 1.4.3.4.2-1.4.1.6.4-5.3.1.1 |
Count back to common number (3): |
Your number: 0, 1 |
Other number: 0, 1, 2 |
Relationship of younger generation to older generation:
Go across row "2" until it intersects with column "1" |
Relationship: Nephew or Niece |
Relationship of older generation to younger generation:
Go across row "1" until it intersects with column "2" |
Relationship: Uncle or Aunt |
For example, using the above explanation, if each of you are five generations
removed from the common ancestor, then you are fourth cousins. If one of you is
five generations and the other is four generations removed from the common
ancestor, then you are third cousins, once removed.
Documentation
We have tried to document each entry as completely, but as briefly, as
possible. Citations are explained in the Bibliography. A list of abbreviations
used is included under Abbreviations.
A number of genealogists have researched and published genealogical works
pertaining to the early Acadian families. Each has their strengths and
weaknesses. By far the greatest weakness is the lack of documentation within
their publications. As noted in the genealogical data, Stephen White's
Dictionnaire Genealogique des Familles Acadiennes is used as the basis for the
first three generations of Germain's descendants. Bona Arsenault, Cyprien
Tanguay and others' data is used to supplement White's information.
Donald Hebert's research is used as the basic source material for the early
Louisiana period. This information is supplemented by data from the US Census
records. With Hebert, the same general format is followed that he used in his
books.
Information has been provided by individuals doing research. This is noted in
the Table of Sources and in the family groups. Some of the research has been
posted to individual web sites. Where this has happened, a link can be found to
the web site on the Links page. Other information has been provided in a paper
format, of which the webmaster has a copy on file.
Spelling of Names
As you get into genealogical research you realize rather quickly that there
is a great inconsistency in the spelling of names. In order to be consistent, we
have tried to use the name of the person shown at his or her birth or
baptism/christening. Sometimes this was not their full name. You will find some
entries with part of the name in brackets or two names with a slash between them
to show a more complete name.
Bona Arsenault
Bona Arsenault has published two "series" of Historie et Genealogie des
Acadiens. The first series consisted of two volumes published in 1965. The
second series consisted of six volumes published in 1966. There are a number of
discrepancies between the two series. Many of these are slight, such as a
different name or birth date. However, there are two or three major differences.
The names and dates will follow the second series, unless there is other
reliable information contradicts it. You will be able to see in the
documentation that is used. The original intent was to indicate all differences
between the two series. However, it was felt that that could be more confusing
than logical. Anyone who has a question concerning the differences may consult
the two "series" or may feel free to contact the webmaster.

NOTE: The original settlement of the colony of Acadie was Port Royal,
Annapolis, Nova Scotia (located at Latitude 44 degrees, 43 minutes North,
Longitude 65 degrees, 36 minutes West). After the British captured the colony,
Port Royal's name was changed (about 1710) to Annapolis Royal, Annapolis, Nova
Scotia. At some later time another settlement was begun in Richmond County, Nova
Scotia, also called Port Royal (located at Latitude 45 degrees, 32 minutes
North, Longitude 61 degrees, 6 minutes West). This has created some confusion in
the records of some researchers. The Acadians were at the original settlement
and not the Richmond County settlement as far as references to Port Royal apply.
