The majority of my roots originate in France then on to Acadia or Canada, New France. I have 29 known Acadian First Families as direct ancestors. Through my paternal great-grandmother I also have direct ancestors from England and Ireland.
I am now hooked on genealogy and was so happy to find WikiTree where I can see how every one of us come together.
I am the family tree editor for my parents who have both done the Ancestry DNA Test. Their most recent (JUL 2024) Ancestry DNA regions update is as follows: Dad has 3 ancestral regions, 81% France, 12% Germanic Europe and 7% Ireland. Mom has 3 ancestral regions, 97% France, 2% Spain, 1% Norway and was fluent in French.
The WikiTree Ancestor Explorer, shows I have 108 unique ancestors and 69 duplicate ancestors (additional lines of descent from a unique ancestor) within 20 generations who meet the Filles du Roi list criteria. This list includes Filles à marier.
Recently, the new version (2024) to the WikiTree Ancestor Explorer, shows I have 171 unique ancestors 257 duplicate ancestors (additional lines of descent from a unique ancestor) within 20 generations who meet the Acadian list criteria".
The following are some of my Acadian direct ancestors: Paternal;
Maternal;

The census from Uxbridge, Sutton, Masschusetts year was 1860 not 1859,. Shows Rosalie Sosvill was born in 1799.
I think there are two families with same names. I have Rosalie Beauregard birth record on ancestry.com. I also saw that information on a Rosalie Beauregard baptized in 1806 not sure if it's the same Rosalie Beauregard on my tree.

I'm still researching Francois (Frank) Sasseville changed to Sosvill, Sosville b late 1790's he married Rosalie Beauregard b.1799, Champlain, New York d.1891 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Have not found their marriage record or his death record. Last town record re: his residence was Oxford , Massachusetts. I'm wondering if they were married in Canada. Still unsure who his parents were. I saw only one record for Francoise Sasseville but not sure if he is Rosalie Beauregards' husband. They were living in Vermont ca 1833, their daughter was born there. They were living in Holden Massachusetts 1844 when Joseph Sasseville ,Sosvill, Sosville was born. Headstone in Notre Dame cemetery in Worcester, Massachusetts lists the name Sosville, Rosalie's married name. But...the name Sasseville appears on some smaller headstones. Confusing when the French Canadians changed the name to sound American English...to fit in.
Please pm me with any additional questions regarding said family and I'll help as best I can.
Thank you for your additions to the profiles I've been adding. I aim to be as thorough as possible and learn along the way.
May I clarify something? According to the Dit name guidelines, should Hippolite (Messier) Messier dit St-François' CLN be just "Messier"? His baptism record doesn't include "dit St-François," and I haven't found evidence of him using it as an adult. Danielle's G2G comment here supports this, suggesting the dit name shouldn’t be a part of the CLN if this is the case.
I don’t have access to the sources you added from genealogiequebec. Could they show his use of the dit name? Or have I misunderstood all together, and these guidelines apply only to profiles under the Quebecois project? I have many similar profiles to add, so I want to ensure I'm doing so correctly.
I appreciate your time and help. If it’s better to discuss this on G2G or via email, please let me know. Thank you!
The dit name guidelines are referencing LNAB as far as I understand.
Hippolyte is a 1st cousin of mine 6x's removed and you will find that dit St-François is used often for this family. Just go back to his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc., as well as siblings.

I appreciate your help and will include your insights in the discussion. Thanks again!
Thank you for your corrections on Levesque-146 et.al. - I am often quite lost when it comes to French Canadian/Arcadian profiles, especially since I don't speak or read French. I hope that I can consider you a resource as I build these lines? _bon_ something ;-)
I'm confused as to were Labrie fits into your tree? We are 14th cousins twice removed, both descendants of John St John (bef.1495-1558).

I removed the other citations as they did not cite any specific record , though I've learned better to just post a request for a clearer citation reference. Thanks.

FYI, I found https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Robichaud-424 is my 1st cousin 8 x's removed, both descendants of https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gautrot-20 my 8th gg.
I'm sure the other family names are there if I keep searching.:-)
Can you tell me how we are related?

Thank you for your message. I received your message and will be working on merging soon. I’m new to wiki-tree so there is a learning curve, but I will be attending to it soon.
Best, Mark
added you to TL on some where I could, and made you manager of one that was an aunt for me only. 😊
