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.
