Note: "Albert Lalonde dit L'Esperance and Marie Angelique Montpetit dit Potvin (dite Poitevin a well established identifier for the French Poitou Region) were married on February 7, 1746 in Montreal, Quebec." [12]
The French identifiers dit L'Esperance and dite Poitevin are identifying something about the person or person's family. They are not a (royal or noble) conveyance such as de or du. They are not an alias, nickname or last name which are incorrect English translations.
French "dit" or "dite" names were identifiers used by French families, that describe or distinguish the person based on a variety of possible definitions including French surname linage, maiden name genealogy, geography, guilds, master craftsmanship, military loyalties, seigneur relationships, military status ...etc etc etc
The Old World French never referred to dits as "last names", "nick names" or "aliases." Many French , Nouvelle France and Louisanne families carried their dit identification from their origins in France, Netherlands and Britain when they migrated to North America. Some Nouvelle France families established their own.
In Albert's case he received his identifier from his father and his ancestors. "L' Esperance" literally translates to "hope." It is added here to further detail his ancestral family. Eventually the use of dit and dite identifiers were dropped as families became nationalized in North America and discontinued in France after the French Revolution. It is unclear if he actually used his identifier. Baraboo-1 13:05, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
