Hi Ivan: I have found out more about my family since posting this query. I am decended from Etienne Robidou who used the last name Belair dit Robidou. Over the years the dit Robidou was dropped and now we just use Belair. We are not Belair at all. Having said that I am still interested in the Belair family as it is as much a part of my history and maybe more so than my blood relatives. The baptisms of my family shows sponsors from both families showing the close tie between the two.
What dit name is your family from. Mine is Vetu dit Belair. Etienne's father died before he was born and his mother remarried a Vetu dit Belair so Etienne used Belair dit Robidou meaning that he was a Robidou but raised by a Belair. He created his own dit name.
