Notes for Pierre Loiseau-dit-Francoeur-Cardin:
He is the 1st to use the aka name of Cardin.He is listed as Loiseau-dit-Francoeur-dit-Cardin at PRDH. This is perhaps because Pierre's grandmother Leonarde-Jeanne-Marie Genest's first husband was Noel Cardin.They had one child Maurice Cardin. After Noel Cardin died, Leonarde then married Pierre Loiseau-dit-Francoeur.It seems strange that Pierre Loiseau-dit-Francoeur-Cardin used his step grandfather Noel Cardin's surname as his "dit" name to pass on to his descendants.His Grandmother Leonarde-Jeanne-Marie Genes must have told him nice stories about her 1st husband Noel Cardin or he liked his Half Uncle Maurice Cardin (1670-1756).
