Biography

Joseph Demarest was born on 7 October 1717, baptized on the 14th in Saint-François-du-Lac, son of Pierre Abraham dit Desmarest and of Marie josephe Joiel (sic)[1]

Joseph (Abraham) Demarais, son of Pierre Abraham and Marie-Josephte Joyal, is documented on the Quebec Genealogy site, Nos Origines with birth and death dates and location in Saint-Francois-du-Lac, Quebec/New France. (Note that Joseph's birth year predates the surrender of New France to Britain in 1757. His year of death predates the use of Upper and Lower Canada, therefore it is Province of Québec.)

Please correct last name at birth, which was Demarest only. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Quebecois Québécois project page for guidelines on names and location names, which also apply later. Thank you.

Based on the Généalogie Québec source, the surnames Abraham and Desmarais were used interchangeably in this family. WikiTree should use either the surname of record, birth or death, or consider using "Abraham Desmarais" as a compound surname.

The word 'dit' means 'say' or 'said' in English or, loosely, 'called', and doesn't make a lot of sense as part of a surname. In Jean-Baptiste's case, if he was born as Abraham and his grave or death record says Desmarais, then leave Abraham in the Former surname and simply Desmarais in the Current Surname.

The Find A Grave memorial names Joseph as "Joseph Abraham Desmarais".

Anticostie-1 and Abraham dit Desmarais-2 do not represent the same person because: female and male merge????
