Germain DOUCET dit Sieur de La Verdure was a native of Couperans-en-Brie, near Paris. The name of his wife is unknown; it has been said that he was the brother-in-law of Jacques BOURGEOIS. His son Pierre was born in 1621 and his daughter Marguerite Louise in 1625, both in France. Presumably they came to Acadia with their father about 1632 when he entered the service of Charles d'AULNAY. In 1640 he was a master-in- arms at Pentagouet (Castine, Maine) where he commanded the French fort with the rank of major. Germain enjoyed an especially close relationship with d'AULNAY who, in his will of January 20, 1649, instructed his wife to take care of Germain and his wife. He referred to him as "Germain DOUCET dit La Verdure, de la Paroisse de Couperna en Brie." In a codicil of February 20, 1649, d'AULNAY referred to one who should be continued in his job because of the fidelity and affection that he has always shown. LAUVRIERE (La Tragedie d'un Peuple, vol. 1, p. 496) believes that this was a reference to Pierre MELANSON, also known as Sieur de La Verdure, who was chef de la milice in the colony. After d'AULNAY drowned in 1650, Pierre MELANSON became the tutor of d'AULNAY's children, while Germain DOUCET became commandant of the fort at Port Royal. He held this position when SEDGWICK attacked the fort in 1654 and captured Port Royal on August 15. Germain returned to France with the military garrison, as required under the terms of capitulation. His son Pierre and his daughter Marguerite remained in Acadia. He was married to UNKNOWN in France.

  • Gender and Nationalism: Acadians, Québécois, and Irish in New Brunswick Nineteenth-Century Colleges and Convent Schools, 1854-1888
    CCHA, Historical Studies, 68 (2002), 7-23 Gender and Nationalism: Acadians, Québécois, and Irish in New Brunswick Nineteenth-Century Colleges and Convent Schools, 1854-1888 Sheila ANDREW The role of Quebec classical colleges in encouraging nationalism is already clear and several excellent studies have shown the importance of Quebec convents in developing women’s role, but we know less about nationalism among women or in New Brunswick classical colleges or convents, where the Acadian self-image developed as a counterpoint to Québécois or Irish nationalism.1 Nationalism developed in both colleges and convents, but it took different forms that related to gender. College and convent administra- tors encouraged bilingualism but colleges also developed aggressive Acadian, Québécois, and Irish nationalism, sometimes as a by-product of tensions in New Brunswick or within the college and religious commu- nity, and sometimes deliberately, as a valued manifestation of masculine emulation. The college authorities sought to unify the students again, either through common dislike of the British colonial actions, or surprisingly pro-British and monarchical sentiments.2 In contrast, the 1 Claude Galarneau, Les collèges classiques au Canada français.

    Rundquist: C3b Y DNA Study 8/12 C3b Y Chromosome DNA Test Results Point to Native American Deep Ancestry, Relatedness, among United States and Canadian Study Participants By Marie Rundquist August 2012 Introduction: A study of Amerindian ancestry by way of DNA testing involves the comparison of participant test results with genetic sequences established for indigenous, Native American populations. The primary objective of a Y chromosome DNA study of Amerindian ancestry is to confirm, by way of DNA testing, the likelihood that a male project participant descends directly from a Native American paternal-line ancestor. A secondary objective, important to a study of genealogy, is to establish that project participants of the same surname have shared a common, paternal-line, ancestor within recent generations. Surname studies benefit from Y chromosome DNA tests as the male chromosome passes from a father to a son, by way of inheritance, virtually unchanged except for mutations, and matching genetic sequences, discovered among surname study participants, can determine the probability of a most recent common ancestor -- a family patriarch - within a genealogically significant period of time. Within DNA surname studies that trace the paternal line, short tandem repeats (STRs) are particularly useful; a close, Y chromosome DNA match, calculated at 67 (STR) markers, points to a high probability that a common, male, paternal line ancestor exists within recent generations of a family genealogy. DNA tests may also be used to uncover deepest ancestral origins. The C3b Y DNA haplogroup, at the center of the study, is characterized by the P39 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a genetic indicator of deep, Native American ancestry.
