Biography

Joseph (Huss) Hu lived
in Canada, Nouvelle-France.

Joseph Huss (later Hu) was the son of Paul Hue (later Hus / Hû) and Jeanne Baillarjon (Baillargeon), born on 18 September 1689 and baptized (as Joseph Huss fils de Paul Huss) the following day at the church of Saint-Pierre in Sorel, Canada, Nouvelle-France. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Sorel (St-Pierre) – Baptême 19 sept 1689 (naissance 18 sept 1689):

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 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 – but her actual baptismal record (which is available) clearly shows the name as Hü.

In Joseph's case, his name on his baptismal record was reflected as Joseph Huss - and on his burial record as Joseph Hu.
