I've been researching my HUBERT - HEBERT families of Quebec
for 9 years now and have hit many brick walls. According to the American-French Genealogical Society re DIT names, one of the DIT names for HUBERT is Leber or LeBer.
According to information I have on basic genealogy written by Gerald O. Lesperance on 3/17/2001 "In both Quebec and the US probably the most difficult century for tracing French-Canadian ancestry is the 19th century. Complicating research is that the Catholic hierarchy banned dual surnames about 1860 with many Quebecois electing to retain their "dit" or "also known as" name and dropping the original family surname. Also, US border officials usually dropped the first surname of dual-named Quebecois migrating to the US"
According to the American-French Genealogical Society the "dit" names for HUBERT could be Bourgaud - Hebert - Lacroix - LeBer - LeGrand-Lacroix - Parisien - St. Hubert.
Can anyone provide any information re a connection between Hubert and Leber?
Thank you for any information you may be able to share.
