André does not know how to sign. {{Canada_Nouvelle-France}}André is first mentioned in the country in 1665, a migrant arriving with his father. André and his father Pierre,traveled on a boat carrying the Carignan-Salières regiment which came to pacify the Iroquois and which also brought 200 new colonists led by Governor Courcelles and Intendant Talon. Some time later Andre will be a pioneer of St-Nicolas. In 1667, André worked on the farm of Eustache Lambert in Pointe-de-L According to the internet site Racines-Rochelaises he came to New France with his father as an ''engagé'' (contract workers). They were both servants of Eustache Lambert of Lauzon. In 1670, he decides to launch into the working of the farm of 'Marie Laurence', ' spouse of Eustace Lambert ', located in a place called today Saint-Romuald.{{Citation Needed}} Then, in 1672, he acquires another concession, this time in the seigneurie of Lauzon, today Saint-Nicolas.{{Citation Needed}} On Sunday, July 9th, 1673, in St-Nicolas, André Bergeron marries a young neighbour, Marguerite Demers. She is the daughter of the forefather Jean Demers, native to St-Jacques in Dieppe, in Normandy and of Jeanne Voidy de Saint-Germain-du-Val, in Anjou.

There is a Pierre Noël born in 1726 to André and Geneviève Duguay (i.e. his grandson) [https://www.genealogiequebec.com/Membership/LAFRANCE/acte/25031 Grandson Baptism Record]. Genealogy Quebec, Drouin Institute, 2022, LAFRANCE * Joseph BERGERON 1675-1699 was on the profile, no trace of such a boy, there is a Joseph in the family but he is born in 1699. Other:* According to genealogical research Priest and historian Jean-Paul Lvillage Wabmachis - Médiagraphi Edition - 1995) Andre Bergeron married Marguerite Demers who is an Algonquin from Trois-Rivières. Mr. Létourneau referred to the Indian Registry (Private) of the Diocese of Trois-Rivières. Archives are missing in the National Archives of Quebec public. This conflicts information to Marguerite Demers/Dumes' data, including the marriage record itself which clearly names her parents, who are both known to have come from France. There is a certain trend to attempt to tie families to native peoples, but there is no evidence to support such assertion in this case. ===Fichier Origine=== :BERGERON, André 240320 :Date de naissance: 06-02-1642 :Date de baptême: 06-02-1642:Lieu d'origine: St-Saturnin-du-Bois (St-Saturnin) (Charente-Maritime) 17394 :Parents: Pierre BERGERON et Catharine Marchand :Première mention au pays: 1665 :Occupation à l'arrivée: Migrant arrivé avec son père :Date de mariage: 09-07-1673 :Lieu du mariage: Lauzon (ct Gilles Rageot) :Conjointe: Marguerite Dumais :Décès ou inhumation: St-Nicolas, 21-02-1712:Remarques: Dans «Nos Ancêtres, vol. 19», b. 16-02-1642.
