Genereux/Genereaux poneers
Hi, I am posting the notes that I have for some of my pioneer ancestors, in hopes that they may be of interest to some of you that are doing research on your ancestors.Enjoy, Janet
Descendants of Pierre Genereux/Genereaux
Generation No. 1
1.Pierre1 Genereux was born about 1670 in Desgrais, Limoges, Limousin, France.He married Marie-Francoise Dessureau 28 Sep 1699 in Champlain, QC (ct 11 Aug, Normandin), daughter of Francois Dessureau-dit-LeBourguignon-&-LaPlante and Marie Bouard/Bouart.She was born about 1678 in Unknown, QC, and died 15 Jul 1758 in Ste. Genevieve of Berthier en Haut, QC.
Notes for Pierre Genereux:
He was a soldier in the campaign of LaGroye at Limoges, Limousin.
* De Grais dit de Preaux was the title of Monsieur Louis Joseph LeGoues, a retired officer of an earlier deployment of troops. On April 4, 1687, he was commissioned captain of one company of the Franche-Marines. The 50 men of his company, including Pierre Genereux, were among the 150 recruits who had arrived in Canada the previous year. They had sailed from France aboard the trading vessel "Saint-Francois-Xavier", and arrived in Quebec on September 22, 1686. When Pierre Genereux was recruited, he would have been between the minimum age of 16 and the maximum age of 25, which would place his birth between the years of 1661 and 1670. http://www.geninfo.org/genereux/http://www.geninfo.org/genereux/.
In reference to his son baptized Francois-Ambroise,I asked why they dropped the name Ambroise in their report and why they recorded his birth place as Sorel.Pierre and his wife did live in Berthier as stated on the certificate.This was their response:
Identifying the exact place of birth of a child is not an easy thing to do. In the present case, the parents were residing in Berthier, the baptism apparently took place in Ile-Dupas and it was recorded in Sorel! Births did not always occur where the parents were residing; for example, I know of several cases where the mother would go to her mother’s house at the tie of delivery.As a rule, for the PRDH. the place of birth is the place where the baptism was recorded. We don’t have the resources to go over each individual case to pin-point where the people were living exactly at each moment.Bertrand Desjardins
In reference to his son Louis, I asked PRDH why they recorded his place of birth at Sorel instead of Berthier as in Jette's research.This was their response:

There are some parish records for Berthierville recorded in the St. Joseph of Lenoraie parish registry prior to 1733, no parish registries for St Genevieve of Berthierville exist between 1733 and 1751. No doubt this is why the death of Pierre Genereux who Married Francoise Dessureau is not known. This was explained to me by the webmaster of PRDH in response to the same question about the birth of one of my early Genereux ancestor.
Notes for Marie-Francoise Dessureau:
She was recorded as being 3 years old in the 1681 census.

Notes for Antoine Genereux:
The reason I was unable to find the birth of 5 of Antoine Genereux's children (although there are some parish records for Berthierville recorded in the St. Joseph of Lenoraie parish registry prior to 1733", no parish registries for St. Genevieve of Berthierville exist between 1733 and 1751.This was explained to me by the webmaster of PRDH in response to the same question about the birth of one of my early Genereux ancestor.
Children of Antoine Genereux and Marie-Josephe Turcot are:
13 i. Antoine3 Genereux, born Aft. 1733 in Unknown (perhaps Berthier), QC.He married Marie-Anne Lemay-dit-Poudrier 01 Sep 1766 in St. Pierre les Becquets, QC; born about 1740 in Unknown, QC.

Genevieve de Berthier, Berthier en Haut, QC; born 14 Mar 1728 in Bécancour, Nicolet, QC; died 31 Dec 1809 in Nicolet, QC.
Notes for Marie-Josephe Genereux:
The reason you are unable to find the birth of Marie-Josephe and some of her siblings is: Although there are some parish records for Berthierville recorded in the St. Joseph of Lenoraie parish registry prior to 1733, no parish registries for St Genevieve of Berthierville exist between 1733 and 1751. Bsides Marie-Josephe and her siblings many of her Genereux cousins births are also missing. No doubt this is why the death of Pierre Genereux who Married Francoise Dessereaux is not known. This was explained to me by the webmaster of PRDH in response to the same question about the birth of one of my early Genereux ancestor.
17 v. Marie-Madeleine Genereux, born Aft. 1733 in Unknown (perhaps Berhier), QC; died 13 Apr 1768 in L'Assomption, QC.She married Paul Saulnier-dit-Beausoleil, (Chris. &J.Bailly) 07 Feb 1763 in Berthier en Haut, QC; born about 1733 in Brest, France.

21 ix. Louis-Joseph Genereux, born 08 Apr 1756 in Berthier en Haut, QC.
22 x. Pierre Genereux, born 05 Jul 1760 in Berthier en Haut, QC; died 29 Nov 1812 in Rivière du Loup, Louisville, QC.He married Charlotte Harnois, (Augustin & Marg. Lemaitre) 17 Nov 1783 in St. Antoine de Rivière du Loup, Louiseville, QC; born about 1760 in Unknown, QC; died 12 Apr 1811 in Rivière du Loup, Louiseville, QC.
