Biography

Léonard Hus lived
in Canada, Nouvelle-France.

Léonard Hus / Hue / Hu was the son of Paul Hue (later Hus / Hû) and Jeanne Baillargeon. Léonard's actual baptismal record is not available but he was baptized on 13 April 1685 at Sorel, and his surname was later reflected by indexers using the "standardized" spelling of Hus. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Note re names:

- While the family's surname has often been standardized as Hus and indexers used that name for Léonard, the actual act of his baptism is not shown – and in some cases indexers created "répertoires" listing the surname as Hus, when in fact the baptismal record reflected something different. For example, the baptismal répertoire for his sister Jeanne in 1680 lists her surname as Hus – while in fact her actual baptismal record (which is available) clearly shows the name as Hü.

His parents Nouvelle-France pioneer Paul Hue (later Hus) and Jeanne Baillargeon had fifteen children, and although several passed away early (as was not uncommon), nine of them would eventually go on to marrry into families in the Sorel region. (Note: in many cases indexers "standardized" their surname as Hus in "répertoires" (shown as (std) below) - although original records often reflected other spellings (shown in [brackets] below) - and dit names began in use for many of their children). ^[4]

Research Notes

Note re: names and records:

References and notes regarding his father's original surname in Normandy (which was Hue) - as well as variations of that introduced in Nouvelle-France, including Hué, Hus, Hü and Hû (as his father Paul was later known and eventually buried) - are provided in the Research Notes of his father's profile: Paul Hue (later Hus / Hû).

While the family's surname has often been standardized as Hus and indexers used that name for Léonard, the actual act of his baptism is not shown – and in some cases indexers created "répertoires" listing the surname as Hus, when in fact the baptismal record reflected something different. For example, the baptismal répertoire for his sister Jeanne in 1680 lists her surname as Hus –while in fact her actual baptismal record (which is available) clearly shows the name as Hü.

In Léonard's case, neither his original baptismal record nor burial are available – and indexers constucting the associated repertoires reflected his name using the satandardized spelling of Hus.
