Death recorded at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre, Beaupre, Quebec From http:/sites.rapidus.net/mirobert/DUBEAU%20anc.pdf (loosely translated into English) Étienne Racine Several "Racine" chose the seventeenth century America as a welcoming place. We have over two dozen who have decided to come and live on this new continent. They came mainly from France, Switzerland but also from several other European countries. ...the most illustrious and best known family of Racine, Étienne, the common ancestor of the majority of the Racine of America. Etienne Racine was born in about 1606 to Fumichon (Normandy). He is the son of Rene Racine and Marie Loysel and has three brothers: Jean, Pierre and Marguerin and a sister, Marguerite. As the family of Etienne is the only family of the common Racine, we can think it would be related with those of neighboring villages Morainville and Neuville-sur-Authou...Unlike his brothers, Etienne was educated because he knows sign and write. It is believed that its close ties with the Jesuits in New France had their origin in a stay in one of their colleges of Normandy. Etienne Racine comes to Quebec around 1634, probably after having been committed in France for three years as a domestic by Guillaume Hubou, a resident of Quebec, who was born in the village Le Mesnil-Durand, near the town of Fumichon. He make his marriage contract on 16 November 1637 by the notary Guitet. His future wife, Marguerite Martin, aged 13, was born in Quebec in 1624 daughter of Abraham Martin and Marguerite Langlois. Considering its age, the marriage will be celebrated on 22 May in the church of Quebec. The couple has ten children, four boys and six girls who produce a large offspring. Of her daughters, Marie-Madelaine marry Nöel Simard, ancestor of the Simards of America. Back to Quebec after having exercised his profession as a carpenter for two years (1644 to 1646) with the Jesuits at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons (Georgian Bay), he picks up in 1647 for France with Robert Giffard for recruited new settlers. He arrived in La Rochelle where he will be in Quebec City the following spring. This trip will be worth it, 27 March 1650, his friend Olivier Le Tardif co-lord of Beaupré, the grant of an immense land of 710 meters in front and a depth of 7200 meters in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré . Since this is the first granted land and operated the resort, he can claim the title of pioneer founder of this city, which later became a famous place of pilgrimage. Marguerite Martin died on 25 November 1679 and Etienne on 24 April 1689 at the age of 83 years... Source: Denis Racine Association des familles Racine Inc.
