• Notes

  The first ancestor of the Girouard family was named François. He was born in France about 1621 and he arrived in Acadia during the 1640's. François marrried Jeanne Aucoin in 1647. They had five children. GIROUARD dit LA VARANNE, François, came from France with his wife Jeanne Aucoin, according to two depositions, one made by his great-grandson Pierre Richard (Doc. inéd., Vol. II, p. 191), and another made by Louis Courtin, husband of his great-great-granddaughter Marie-Josèphe Martin (ibid., Vol. III, p. 27). Both of these depositions erroneously call the Girouard ancestor Jacques, instead of François, probably because the deponents presumed that he had borne the same first name as his elder son, to whom they were both connected. François is the name that one finds, however, in three Acadian censuses and in his younger son’s marriage record in the register of Beaubassin (see DGFA-1, pp. 718-719).
