    Etienne was born about 1623 in Balesmes (Touraine) France and died in Port-Royal, NS, Canada. He married Marie Gaudet in 1649 in Port-Royal, NS, Canada.

    ***********************************************

    If Antoine was his father, Etienne must have been born around 1630 as Antoine was born around 1614.

    Étienne Hebert came from France with his wife Marie Gaudet, according to nine depositions: one from his grandson Jean Hébert (Doc. inéd., Vol. III, p. 11), one from Pierre Trahan, husband of his granddaughter Madeleine Comeau (ibid., p. 8), one from Pierre and Madeleine?s son Pierre Trahan (ibid., pp. 110-111) and one from their nephews Sylvestre and Simon Trahan (ibid., p. 30), two from husbands of Étienne?s great-granddaughters (ibid., Vol. II, p. 182; Vol. III, p. 90), one from a great-great-grandson (ibid., Vol. III, pp. 93-94), and two from husbands of his great-great-granddaughters (ibid., pp. 45, 92-93). Seven of these depositions name his wife as Marie Gaudet; only those of the two Pierre Trahans, father and son, do not.White

    "The Héberts in Acadia go back to two ancestors: Antoine and Étienne Hebert, whose birthdate is unknown because he died before thr 1671 census and who married about 1650 Marie Gaudet. the dispensation for the third degree of kindred granted upon the marriage of Antoine's grandson Jean Hebert to Étienne's granddaughter Marguerite Leprince, and another for the fourth degree granted upon the marriage of Étienne's great-grandson Pierre Forest to Antoine's great-granddaughter Marguerite Hebert proved that Antoine and Étienne were brothers." (P. Gallant)

    "A worthy article that appeared in our periodical (Memoires, vol. VI, p. 393) thought it possible to establish--at least it claimed--that the Hebert brothers were the sons of Jacques Hebert and Marie Juneau of La Haye-Descartes in Touraine.

    "Here then in brief is its argument: an immigrant named Jacques Hebert, son of Jacques and Marie Juneau, from La Haye in Touraine, parish of Balesne, made a contract at Québec ... to marry Francoise Chevalier. This contract was witnessed by Louis Hebert's daughter Marie-Guillemette Hebert.

    "Now, before settling at Québec this same Louis Hebert stayed for a while at Port-Royal, where the two Acadia Hebert brothers would live thirty years later.

    "Thus the immigrant Jacques Hebert in Québec was the brother of the Acadian Héberts.

    "One must confess that the connection between these premises is tenuous. and even more tenuous than one might think.

    "The immigrant Jacques Hebert was not an Hebert at all, but an Habert, as a correct reading of his marriage contract proves. and if Guillemette Hebert, widow of Guillaume Couillard, appeared on this occasion, it was because the intended bride was her servant. the Acadian Héberts with their different family name have nothing in common with Jacques Habert."

    Notes:

    Jean Blanchard, the actual progenitor of the Blanchards of Acadia, born in France in c1611, was one of the earliest settlers in the colony. At age 31, he married 21-year-old Radégonde Lambert at Port-Royal in c1642. Radegonde gave Jean six children, including two sons who created their own families. Their daughters married into the Gaudet, Guérin, and Richard dit Sansoucy families. Radegonde died at Port-Royal in the 1670s or 1680s, leaving Jean a widower. He never remarried. He died at Port-Royal on his homestead next to the fort in the early 1690s; he was over 80 years old.

    In 1671 Jean Blanchard, age 60 was living in Port Royal with his wife, Radegonde LAMBERT and their unmarried children Guillaume 21, Bernard 18, Marie 15. At that time they owned 12 cattle and 9 sheep. (Source: Acadian Census 1671).

    An error in Jean LeBlanc's deposition at Belle-Ile-en-Mer led Rameau de Saint-Pere to add a non-existent generation to the genealogy of the Blanchards. LeBlanc declared that the great-grandparents of his wife Francoise Blanchard were Guillaume Blanchard and Huguette Poirier, rather than Jean Blanchard and Radegonde Lambert, having confused the names of Martin Blanchard's brother and sister-in-law with those of this father and mother. Without proof, Rameau affirmed that Guillaume and Huguette had to be Martin Blanchard's grandparents, but no document is currently known that provides the names of Jean Blanchard's parents.

    2 Dec 1705: Expropriation of a lot "adjoining the side of the old fort," and belonging to Jean Blanchard, for the extension of the fort at Port Royal. As Jean Blanchard had already been dead for over twelve years, one must suppose that his heirs were the actual owners of this land in 1705.?

    Sixteen years or so later Jean and Radegonde were still living in Port Royal. (1686 census).

    Notes:

    Death: 1686 to 1693

    Radegonde?s DNA

    Several descendants of Radegonde Lambert through all females have had their mitochondrial DNA tested. Mitochondrial DNA is passed from the mother to both genders of their children, but only females pass it on.

    In Radegonde?s case, her DNA, for several years, also proved as puzzling as the records regarding her birth and mother?s ethnicity. No one but Radegonde?s descendants seems to match her DNA. It?s like Radegonde wanted to play a joke on all of her descendants. And a fine job she did too!

    Fortunately, that question has now been resolved, and Radegonde?s DNA, haplogroup X2b4, which is exceedingly rare ? as in chicken?s teeth rare ? is found only in Europeans, to date, and not in any Native people.

    Radegonde?s and Jehan Blanchard's children

    Karen Theroit Reader provides Radegonde?s children, as shown below. In two census records, in both 1671 and 1678, Radegonde and her husband, Jean Blanchard, are living next door to their son, Guilliame Blanchard who was age 35 in 1686.

    Madeleine Blanchard born about 1643, probably in Port Royal, died 1678-1684 and married Michel Richard. She had 10 children.
    Anne Blanchard was born about 1645, probably in Port Royal, died after 1714 in Beaubassin and married first to Francois Guerin, having 5 children, then to Pierre l?aine Gaudet, having 9 children.
    Martin Blanchard was born about 1647, probably in Port Royal and died after July 4, 1718 in Cobeguit. He married first to Marie Francoise Le Blanc having 3 children, then to Marguerite Guilbeau having 8 children.
    The three children, above, would have been the three that were married by 1671. The three below would have been the children still at home.

    Guillaume Blanchard, born about 1650, probably in Port Royal, died before October 18, 1717 and married Huguette Gougeon, having 12 children.
    Bernard Blanchard born about 1653, probably in Port Royal and died after the 1671 census but before the 1686 census.
    Marie Blanchard born about 1656, probably in Port Royal, died after 1701, married to Pierre le jeune Gaudet, having 10 children.
