Report of the1997 gathering
The assembly took place in
Trois-Pistoles on August 31st at L’Arc-en-Ciel School under the honorary
presidency of Mr. Richard Ouellet, mayor of Saint-Simon.
The 31st gathering
in Trois-Pistoles, a grand success!
Following the magnificent feast that took
place on September 1st at Trois-Pistoles, the members of the Board of Directors
of the Association des Ouellet-te d’Amérique, wish to thank the population of
Trois-Pistole for their support, collaboration and their participation in the
activities.
More than 200 participants from Québec, New-Brunswick, Ontario,
Maine and Massachusetts attended the 31st gathering of the association among
them Jérémy, 2 years old, and Adélaide 89 years old. Also a number of them of
which Mgr Gilles Ouellet, retired in Trois-Pistole and Mr. Gilles Ouellet from
Rimouski, who were at their first gathering 13 years ago, at the Oratory St
Joseph in Montréal.
Throughout the years except at the end of the years 1970,
the sun inevitably, was there. The day went very well under the honorary
president Mr. Richard Ouellet, mayor of Saint-Siméon. Mr. Francis Ouellet, owner
of the restaurant Le Gondolier and his personnel, served an excellent meal.
Jeannine, the association president, narrated the presence of the Ouellet at
Trois-Pistole. In 1804, François Ouellet and Françoise D'Amours, in 1822,
Céleste Ouellet and François Saucier and in 1823 Victoire Ouellet and Henri
Saint-Pierre. A great-great-great grandchild of the ancestor René Hoûallet,
notary Jos Ouellet was the first notary of Trois-Pistole in 1816 and he
practiced his profession until 1865, a total of 49 years. His great-great
grandchild Madeleine married Thomas Ouellet in 1966 at Saint-Guy of Rimouski. In
commemoration of this gathering, the Association Ouellet-te of America, placed a
plaque at the Notary's house, erected in 1842 and that has become a centre of
art and craft. Notary Hervé Rousseau lived in the house until 1964. The centre
is opened every day from June to October and the entrance is free.
Twenty
lucky participants were able to go home with various prizes drawn after the
meal. About forty participants boarded a bus to visit the tourist attractions of
Trois?Pistole including the area used for the filming of the popular serial
Bouscotte, on Radio Canada.
During the annual general assembly the
following members were re-elected or elected, they were: President Jeannine
Ouellet from Rivière-du-Loup, Vice-president Pauline Huot-Ouellet from
Saint-Pacôme, Director General Alphonse Ouellet from Lévis, administratrice
Victoire Ouellet-Fortier from Saint-Romain, administrator Lionel Ouellet from
Paint-Pascal, administrator Richard Ouellette from Sherbrooke, administrator
Florent Ouellet from Lévis.
The members of the Club des 100 attended a
meeting with Jeannine the president and Réjean Ouellette responsible for the
Club, to discuss, promote and develop means of attracting 100 members to
subscribe $100.00 each. These funds would be used solely to create a reserve for
the development of special projects:
· to continue to
develop the site Internet
· write the history of the
Ouellet-te
· publish a family
dictionary
· computerize the secretariat, the bulletin and
the accounting.
The day finished at the fifth historic church of
Notre-Dame-des-Neiges of Trois?Pistole inaugurated in 1888 and erected in
accordance with the exterior plans of architect David Ouellet and the interior
plans of architect Joseph-Pierre Ouellet. Monsignor Gilles Ouellet, cardinal of
Rimouski, and father Gérald Ouellette, curate of Granby and moral counsellor of
the Association, celebrated the mass. The music and melodious hymns aroused
strong emotions that accompanied this moment of homage to the ancestors.
Monsignor Ouellet said that he was agreeably surprised by so much meditation at
the end of that marvellous day.
There is no doubt that the souvenir of this
gathering will remain engraved in the memory of the participants.
A true portrait of the Association of the Ouellet-te in
1997
Since its foundation in 1966, our association recruited
through the years, about 3000 members. Actually we are about 500 loyal members
of which 400 renew, their membership to our family association. One hundred are
life members.
Our members come from three continents: America, Europe and
Africa. The majority come from North America from six Canadian provinces (
Québec, Ontario, Alberta,, Manitoba, New-Brunswick and Nova-Scotia) and from
twelve American states (Maine, Massachusetts, New-Hampshire, California,
Alabama, New-York, Ohio, Arizona, Connecticut, Rhode Island and
Michigan).
Sixty seven percent (67%) bear the name of “Ouellet”, twenty one
percent (21%) the name “Ouellette” eleven percent (11%) are identified by
another patronymic, one is called “Willette” in Ohio and one other “Houalet” in
France.
Fifty six percent (56%) are men, thirty seven percent (37%) are women

brothers, one father six doctors and one lawyer.
Un
portrait fidèle de l'Association des Ouellet-te en 2003
The Ouellet-te in France :
http://www3.sympatico.ca/jeannine.ouellet/ouellet.htm)
The ancestor René Hoûallet
René Hoûallet was
born in Paris, Île-de-France, after June 1st, 1639. He was baptized in Saint
Jacques du Haut-Pas church, next to the Jardins de Luxembourg that Joe Dassin
sang so well. On June 1st, 1639, his parents, François Hoûallet et Élisabeth
(Isabelle) Barré (who was born in the bourg (village) de Beaupere, Diocese of
Luçon) lived on rue des Ursins in the parish of Saint Landry, Paris. François is
then assistant to the five large farms of France, meaning General Controller of
the finances of the kingdom of France. The five big farms were the territories
of the financial provincial administrative divisions: Bourgogne to Dijon,
Provence to Aix, Aquitaine to Bordeaux or Casgogne to Toulouse and
Isle-de-France, farm Versailles, to Paris. Later he became Receiver General of
the province of Poitou.
René arrived in Nouvelle-France around 1663 and he married, in Notre Dame de
Québec church March 8th, 1666, Anne Rivet, de Saint-Gervais de Séez, Basse
Normandie. She was the widow of Grégoire Hisse, Receiver General of the eighth
of Bretagne, she had arrived in the country in 1665 as a “Fille du roi”. Three
sons were born and baptized in Sainte-Famille, Ile d’Orléans, Abraham-Joseph, in
1667, Mathurin-René, in 1669 and Grégoire, in 1672.
On the February 6th, 1673, René Hoûallet obtained the concession of
the second land east of the parish of Sainte-Famille, a land that he had
cultivated for a long time and that he sold sixteen days later to René Couttard.
He then rented, the land of Thimothée Roussel and Pierre Soumande, on the Côte
de Beaupré. In 1989, a large engraved stone, with an inscription in memory of
René Hoûallet, was placed on the land that René Hoûallet cultivated at
Sainte-Famille.
Three years after the death of Anne Rivest, in 1678, he
leaves his sons with families of friends and goes to cultivate a land of
approximately one (1) acre in width and thirty five (35) acres in length, that
was granted to him by the Lord of Rivière-Ouelle.
In 1679, he married the
widow of Nicholas Lebel, farmer. Thérèse Mignot is the daughter of Jean Mignaux
dit Châtillon and of Louise Cloutier. Jean Mignaux was born at
Châtillon-les-Bagneux, near Paris; he arrived in Nouvelle-France in1643. He
exercised the occupations of soldier, farmer and tailor. Louise Cloutier was
born in Saint-Jean de Mortagne, au Perche. She was approximately four years old
when she arrived in Nouvelle France in 1634 with her parents, Zacharie Cloutier
and Xaintes Dupont, and her brothers and sisters.
Thérèse Mignot was the
mother of four children, Jean, Nicolas, Angélique et Joseph Lebel and heiress of
a land of approximately half an acre in width in Sainte-Anne of the Grande-Anse
(La Pocatière). Eight children were born from this marriage: Marie-Thérèse in
1679, Joseph in 1680, Marie-Françoise in 1682, Sébastien in 1685, Marie-Anne in
1687, Angélique- Marguerite in 1690, François in 1693, et Marie in
1696.
In 1690, René and his four sons joined with the local inhabitants
to prevent Phipps and his Bostonnians from landing in Rivière-Ouelle. This
historical event elevated them to the status of heroes with thirty-four other
inhabitants of the area. On August 10th, 1997 a commemorative plaque was placed
on a stone near the entrance of the Rivière-Ouellet cemetery, on the occasion of
the festivities for the 325th anniversary.
Riddled with debts, our
ancestor Hoûallet had to sell part of his land in Rivière-Ouelle. In 1721, while
living at Saint-Rock des Aulnaies with his son Abraham-Joseph, he prepared his
testament, leaguing, to the parish of Sainte-Anne, a piece of land where the
future church could be erected. In 1966, on that piece of land, his descendants
Ouellet-te erected a monument in his memory and that of his spouses and
children.

42e rassemblement, 6 et 7 septembre 2008 à Québec
Ce 42e rassemblement s`est tenu sous la présidence d'honneur de Jay Ouellet
Chiropraticien le jour, Jay Ouellet se métamorphose en astronome et en photographe à la tombée de la nuit. Les noctambules l'ont peut-être croisé alors qu'il déambulait dans les rues et les arrière-cours de Québec, sa ville natale, à la recherche du meilleur point de vue, lui qui collectionne les scènes nocturnes depuis des années. Ces photos sont réunies dans un magnifique ouvrage, Québec : rencontres de nuit, panorama incomparable de la Vieille Capitale dans ses plus beaux atours.
Se passionnant pour l'astronomie depuis l'âge de dix ans, Jay Ouellet a acheté sa première caméra à quinze ans et depuis lors il partage son engouement avec ses amis, les jeunes et le grand public partout au Canada et à l'étranger. En outre, la NASA et de nombreux sites et revues spécialisés (Space 365, Pocket Sky Atlas, Skynews, APOD, Sky & Telescope) ont publié ses photographies.
Jay Ouellet est d'ailleurs le seul Canadien à avoir vu une de ses oeuvres en couverture du prestigieux magazine Astronomy, qui a consacré en novembre 2000 un article à sa technique de photographie de nuit. En avril 2006, sa photo intitulée « Le Sagittaire » a été proclamée l'oeuvre du mois par ce même magazine. Et sa photo « Tango for Two » a même servi d'accessoire dans la série The West Wing (À la Maison Blanche) sur NBC.
Les photographies de Jay Ouellet ont été présentées au public lors d'expositions, notamment en 2003 à la salle Albert-Rousseau. Québec: rencontres de nuit est son premier ouvrage.

Mr René Ouellet,
ex-animator on the Sherbrooke radio was the Honorary President for this

35TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
This assembly
(1996-2001) of the Ouellet-te Association was held in

One hundred and eighty

34TH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
By : Jeannine Ouellet (2168)
The following day of this wonderful reunion, in
Cap-de-la-Madeleine, September 3rd, the members of the Board of Directors of the
Association des Ouellet-te d’Amérique would like to sincerely thank the priests
of Marie Immaculée especially Reverand Yoland Ouellet for his support, his
collaboration and his participation in the festivities. This year again, the sun
was at the rendez-vous.
More than 160 participants came from all regions of
Quebec, from New?Brunswick, from Manitoba, from Massachusetts to attend this
34th reunion of the association. Among them, the youngest member, Marie-Philippe
Tremblay, 10 years old from the Côte-Nord and the eldest, Marie Suchet, 97 years
old from Montreal. A couple who has been married for 59 years was also present.
Special note, Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Ouellet from Saint-Mathieu and all of their
children took part of the festivities, a good example to follow. Monsignor
Gilles Ouellet of Rimouski also honoured us with his presence. Richard Ouellet
of Montreal, author of the Dictionary of the Ouellet-te of America,
encouraged the participant to get their copy of this first edition.
The day
went marvellously well under the honorary president Reverend Yoland Ouellet who
is also the moral counsellor for our association. A mass in the Basilica, a
photo of the participants, a sight-seeing visit, an excellent meal served the
Maison de la Madone, and the annual general assembly were all moments of great
joy. A draw of door prices (money, a magnificent tablecloth waved by Victoire
and a book written by Jeannine, etc.) also caused very emotional moments. We
were also able to admire the icons made by Lise Ouellet. Another Ouellet,
Thérèse Ouellet, wife of Ernest member of the Advisory Committee, published a
poetry book entitled “Rêve du soir”. On page 89, the poem entitled “Sol
ancestral” was inspired by the Ouellet family.
The president remembered the
presence of the first Ouellet to come to the region, west of Trois-Rivières at
Yamachiche in 1803, in Maskinongé in 1753, at l’Assomption in 1756 and more to
the east, at Deschambault in 1790. The Notre-Dame-du-Cap basilica was the work
of art of André Ouellet, architect and also coordinator from Beauport, cousin of
my mother, architect and engineer also from Beauport. The stoups were done by
Rejoin Ouellette of Saint-Marc-des-Carrières, member of the Advisory Committee.
Since its foundation, the following are already members of the Club des 100:
Monique (2491), Rose-de-Lima (1301), Thérèse (898), Gérald (2432), Réjean

33rd OUELLET-TE GATHERING, A HAPPY MEETING!
by Jeannine Ouellet (2168) president (1996-2000)
Following the magnificent feast
that took place at Kamouraska, September 5th, the members of the Board of
Directors, want to sincerely thank the population of Kamouraska for their
support, their efficient collaboration and their participation in the
festivities. We wish to thank particularly, Mrs. Magdeleine Michaud Bossé who
was with us the whole day. We counted around 130 attendants from many regions of
Québec, New Brunswick and Maine at the gathering, among them, the youngest
members David 12 years old and Pascal 15 years old, both nephew and godchild of
the President. The oldest attendant was Marie Suchet, 96 years of age from
Montreal, Monette Ouellet and Emile Briand from La Pocatière, celebrating their
60th wedding anniversary, were also present.
The sun was shining its
brilliance on us, this year again. The day took place under the honorary
president M. Ernest Ouellet, former mayor of St Pascal de Kamouraska and former
president of the Association for 5 consecutive years.
The reception at the
Centre Communautaire, situated south of the Church, begins at 9 a.m., followed
by a mass at the local parish church at 10 a.m. Back at the Centre
communautaire, a wine was served to the participants. An auction was for the
souls was organized especially for the occasion. A surprise awaited: the visit
of Lord Aubert-de-la-Chesnaye and his spouse. They offered, to the President, a
plaque bearing the impression of the text for the concession of the land to
Mathurin René Hoûallet in 1695.
The Lord was well personified by M. Guy
Drapeau director of the ancient Palais de justice. At noon, a succulent meal was
served by Michel Lavoie caterer and owner of Au palais fint. Our moral
counsellor, Father Gérald Ouellet, parish priest of Saint Joseph de Granby, led
us in singing the grace, with his well known joviality. During the buffet, the
president Jeannine, gave a few historical notes of Kamouraska that are resumed
here:
“It was towards the end of the XVIIth century that the name Kamouraska
appeared in the Québec history, with the concession, in 1674 of the domain of
Kamouraska to Olivier Morel de la Durantaye, a nobleman in the colony since 1655
and commandant of one of six companies of marine corps, then stationed in
Québec. He owned and was already running the domain of the Durentaye situated
between the domains Beaumont and Bellechasse. Many different spelling were found
and the most common were Camouraska, Cap Mouraska, Kamourascheka. In 1681, there
were only one inhabitant in Kamouraska, not a true farmer since the zoning was
not yet done, but more or less a fisherman, or a hunter, a smuggler, or who
knows, the pioneer of tourism. In 1703, there were approximately twenty families
on the thirty three franchise holders who had obtained their land from Lord
Charles-Aubert-de-la-Chenaye. Kamouraska meaning “There is some bulrush on the
shores of the river” became a religious parish in 1709. The first and the second
church will be erected in the historic place “Le Berceau”. In 1791 the church
was built on its present location.
Between 1694 and 1712, thirty-six
concessions were granted. Mathurin René Houâllet, farmer of Rivière-Ouelle, is
the third to obtain a land situated south west of the last brook of little
Kamouraska, the same day as his neighbour Mathurin Dubé. In 1713, steward Bégon
forced Mathurin Ouellet to pay rent for the pews he occupies in church, failing
this the pews could be removed. Mathurin died between August 1st,1717 and
February 7th, 1719.
In 1723, his son Augustin Ouallet was living on the
second farm east of the road leading to the village St-Germain The same year,
the widow Mathurin Oûallet is also the owner of a land of eight acres in width.
Her third neighbour west is her son Fançois Oûallet who owns a land of about
four acres.
Thérèse Mignot dit Châtillon, second wife of René Hoûallet is
buried in Kamouraska December 5th, 1728.
In 1733, of fifty families in
Kamouraska, six bear the name Ouellet, they are those of François, Alexis, Jean,
Augustin, Joseph, and François. Unfortunately, due to the disappearance of the
original records, the first act is dated July 8, 1727.
From 1732 to 1984 (252
years), 179 marriages of man bearing the patronymic Ouellet and 166 marriages of
woman bearing the name of Ouellet, were celebrated. Ten marriages united two
spouses Ouellet. Nine generations of Ouellet have resided in Kamouraska. Seven
members of Ouellet families have acted as church councillors from 1723 to 1887.
Some Ouellet still live in Kamouraska.
In 1813, Joseph Bouchette, evaluator
of land, declares that Kamouraska is famous for its healthy climate. Sixty years
later, Arthur Buies journalist, affirms that to go to the salt water means going
to Kamouraska. This year, the residents of Kamouraska celebrated the 325th year
of existence of their domain.
Florent Ouellet from Levis, responsible for
the Club des 100 ( $100.00 donation) presented honour certificates to three new
members:, : Adrien from Saint-Mathieu 468), Yvon from Hull (2610) and Fernand
from Saint-Rock des Aulnais (1881). The following are already members since the

Alphonse (1652), Richard (2567), Roger (2577), and myself Jeannine (2168). Thank
you all for your generosity and congratulations for your support to this club.
Our Association has finally successfully launched a much expected first
edition of its dictionary of Ouellet-te, Ouellon et Willets. The author, Richard
Ouellet from Montréal presented the fruit of his work, done in collaboration
with Richard Ouellet (2567) from Saint-Élie d’Orford, with information collected
from various records. The volume holds a total of 59 970 first names. At the end
of the meal, a raffle was held for a few gifts of presence.
The following
members were re-elected or elected during the general annual assembly: Victoire
Ouellet-Fortier from Saint- Romain, Alphonse Ouellet, director general, from
Lévis, Richard Ouellette from Saint-Élie d’Orford, Florent Ouellet from Lévis,

visit of seven parishes of the domain of Kamouraska.
This memorable day will
once more be recorded in the annals of the Association des Ouellet-te
d’Amerique. Without a doubt, the souvenir of this gathering will remain, a long
in time, in the memory of the participants.

From the 8 to May 11, 1997, was held in Bourges, in France, the 14th national congress of genealogy. Our president, Jeannine Ouellet was present there.
I had the immense joy of assisting in XIVe Congrès national of genealogy, in Bourges, sovereign city of 80 000 inhabitants, to two hundred trente-cinq kilometers in the south of Paris, in full heart of France. More than thousand congressmen of which a hundred and ten québécois took part in the various activities envisaged with the program.

The topic of the congress: " the tree and the book ", the tree, being the symbol of the genealogy and the source of communication by the production of paper and the book, remayning the principal information carrier in spite of the technological developments of communication. In the program, appeared of the conferences, workshops and communications. Seventy stands of various genealogical associations, with professionals working in all the fields related to the genealogy. Our lecturers québécois dealt with " the French-speaking genealogy on Internet ", " the evolution of the genealogy in Quebec ", " the old and current population of Quebec ", " the toponymy of Quebec, a geographical genealogy ", " the bank computerized (parchment) on the notarial acts of Quebec and France ", " an immigration ignored, false salt makers in News-France ", " the French origin of Québécois ", " Maria Chapdelaine of Louis Hémon through the files ". Among the topics approached by our French cousins, one retains: the republican calendar, the drafting and publication of a family monograph, onomastics, the heraldic one, genetics, popular speech, search in Paris and in France, various information on the genealogy in certain countries of Europe, Africa and America and in some French areas... Among the exposures, we could admire that presented by the Company of genealogy of the Cantons of the east " the genealogy to Quebec ".
We were pleasantly invited to various receptions, that of the general Council of Cher for the presidents of the French genealogical circles and the congressmen québécois, that of the mayor to the town hall of Bourges, that of the general Delegate of Quebec in France, Marcel Masse. Were presented a conference concert of Jean Girard and a play in an act of Ernest Doin, one musician, the other author, born in Bourges and died in Montreal.

Alexandre Taché présenta à Mlle Ouellette une lettre du département de l'Instruction publique de la province, dans laquelle les autorités provinciales décernaient à Mlle Ouellette le premier degré de l'ordre du mérite Scolaire, ainsi que le diplôme d'honneur et les décorations de cet ordre. Avoir enseigné 44 ans dans une même classe, dénote un dévouement, un tact, une probité professionnelle peu ordinaire. Mlle Ouellet habitait au 35, rue Duhame. Celle-ci est décédée le 6 novembre, 1970 à l'âge de 80 ans. Elle est enterrée au cimetière Notre-Dame de Hull.

Answers to the questions:
In spite of his statute in Europe, our ancestor Rene Hoûallet chose to cross the large ocean and to come to live in this country. He formed part of these 13 000 French of all conditions, rich person or not, noble or simple peasants, who left soft France to conquer our wild regions which offered not only promises of freedom, vast spaces, of hunting (often reserved for the French elite) and fishings extraordinary, immense forests...
At the time, France was often in war against England, Spain and other countries, and, like consequence, one lived in misery and the famine. There was also of violent one confrontations between catholics and Protestants. In the final analysis, the life was difficult in this country populated already enough. These 13 000 French chose to answer the publicity made by the Company of the hundred-Associates and that of the Indies Occidentales.
All living Ouellet-te in America go down from Rene Hoûallet.
