BERGER, Marie Anne Rougeau Dit (2.Joseph2, 1.Catherine1) was born Aft 1791, Canada; died Yes, date unknown. Notes:
The "dit" names have an interesting origin. The English translation of "dit" is "said". The Colonists of Nouvelle France added "dit" names as distinguishers. A settler might have wanted to differentiate their family from their siblings by taking a "dit" name that described the locale to which they had relocated ( ex: since the Colonists followed the customs of the French feudal system, land was divided amongst the first born sons [primogeniture] . Soon there was not enough land to divide any further.
Perhaps an adventurous younger son would decide to establish himself, with or without a family, in another area... say a fertile piece of land near some streams... he might add des ruisseaux (streams/creeks/rivulets) to distinguish himself from his brothers. When he married,or died, his name might be listed as Houde dit DesRuisseaux, or Desruisseau(s).
The acquiring of a "dit" name might also be the result of a casual adoption, whereby the person wanted to honor the family who had raised them. Another reason was also to distinguish themselves by taking as a "dit" name the town or village in France from which they originated... ex: Huret dit Rochefort.Marie married DURETTE, Antoine 25 Nov 1811, Saint Philippe de la Prarie, Quebec, Canada. Antoine (son of DURETTE, Joseph Hurette and CADIEUX, Marie Celeste) was born 10 Sep 1788, Chambly, Quebec, Canada; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]
