Jean Durand arrived in Quebec from France in the 1600's.The names contained in this file lists the names of descendants in the book "Jean Durand et Sa Posterie" by Joseph and Viateur Durand published in 1954.A reprint of the book is available for $25 US by contacting M. Martin Durand, Association des familles Durand, Inc. Case postale 6700, Sillery, Quebec, Canada GIT 2W2.This book is in french and the first part gives a history of the first three generations of Jean Durand in Canada.I believe these authors relied on historical work of Elden Durand who published a book with limited distribution.Additions to the descendants of the above book were made in the 1976 book "Durand" by Beatrice Durand Derrick which is out of print.Beatrice had the first part of the above book translated into english.The Durand book was also incomplete in that many of the Durand descendants in Minnesota were not listed.My cousins, especially Edmund Durand and Richard Durand have been attempting to update the list to the present.If you have any additions or corrections to the information in the attached home page, I would be happy to add them to my database.I currently have 13,000 names entered and I know of several lines, especially in Minnesota, which have not be studied and recorded.Perhaps, in a year or two, I (we) will attempt to publish a current listing with the known Quebec and US Durands.I also have the ancestors of Leo Durand and Eleanor Dubeau documented to the first immigrants to Quebec.Roger E.
