We find the Larocque dit Lafontaine mostly in the
region between Montréal and the Richelieu River, Longueuil, St-Jean-sur-Richelieu,
Chambly. We find in that town a street with the name of the ancestor of
the Larocque dit Lafontaine, rue Guillaume-Larocque, or is it one
of his descendants ?
The family of Guillaume gave many prominent ecclesiastic. 1 - Bishop Joseph Larocque, born Aug 28, 1808, Chambly, son of Timothee-Amable Larocque and Marie-Angele Paré. Bishop of St. Hyacinthe and Germanicopolis, Quebec. Bishop Joseph was the cousin of Bishop Charles Larocque. 2 - Bishop Charles Larocque, born Nov. 15, 1809, Chambly, son of Henri Larocque and Sophie Robert. In 1866 he became the Bishop of St. Hyacinthe. 3 - Bishop Paul-Stanislas Larocque, born Oct. 27, 1846. son of Albert Larocque and Genevieve Daigneault. He was ordained a priest by his cousin, Bishop Charles Larocque. He Became Bishop Paul-Stanislas Larocque of Sherbrooke, PQ in 1893. (Click on the photo to see the children of Albert LaRocque and Geneviève Deniau including Bishop Paul) The marriage list for the descendant of Guillaume
LaRocque has been combined to the complete
list of Larocque marriages. To find Guillaume Larocque descendants,
the heading that contant the name of the spouse is colored blue.
Because I am a descendant of Philibert Couillaud dit Roquebrune, an other Larocque ancestor, it will seem that the section dedicated to his story is much more elaborate. You are not wrong. If you know about Guillaume LaRocque and want to share some documentation I will be please to add this information to this page. Thank you.
