[ 29 Apr 2010 ] Introduction
 The Lacharite, Lampron, Desfosses Genealogy Project, otherwise known as "The Project" is an extensive
genealogical compliation consisting of approximately 41,000 people and over 10,000 families supported by
the original documentation related to the individuals in the project. I believe that I have approximately
80% of all related Lampron, Lacharite and Desfosses families since the 1600's in the Project.
Granted, not everyone is attached to the family tree (there are some "leaves" blowing in the wind) but the vast
majority of people in the Project can trace their families back to Jean Laspron dit Lacharite. Such a monumental
task has taken about 30 years of research.
If you want to know more about your family genealogy and you have the surname of Lacharité, Lampron, Desfossés, St Louis,
Glaude, or Beaulac (or variations thereof) or are related by marriage then contact me - I can save you
untold hours of research. If you have specific queries I will attempt
to answer them. We can work out the details once we have established contact.
In the meantime, you may contact me directly by clicking here
and let me know what you are looking for.

- I have over 3500 Lacharité, 3600 Lampron and 1800 Desfossés names, all unique,
in my database. If I don't have the name they probably didn't exist ;-). You can see the distribution
of names in my database by clicking here. Go ahead
and test me (Note: this is a large file)!
- If you were born before 1940 there is a 95% chance you are in the project; If you were
born between 1940-2000, there is a 75% chance you are in the project.
- I have over 9000 exhibits (photos, birth, marriage, burial, etc. records) attached
to individuals in the database and the number grows by about 100 per week.
- I can tell you who is related to who within the family tree for 16 generations.
- I spend about 30 hours per week researching the family tree.
- The average age at first marriage is 24.2 years; Age at first child is 27.5; Age at death is
50.4; and, average age today is 61.
- If you want to save yourself 100's of hours of research and are looking for your family tree
in narrative or chart form, contact me - we can work out the details.
- A great deal of my research carries a surety of "3" which means that it is supported by
documentation, citations and foot or end notes.
- If grief could be measured in the number of children you lose at child birth then
Marguerite Parmentier, wife of Alexis Desfossés, had 10 times the grief of any other mother.
She lost 10 consecutive children over a period of 10 years.
- François Lacharité, patriarch of the Ottawa Valley Lacharité's, was born in Nicolet and is
not Irish as was commonly assumed. He was a Private in the 100th Regiment and enlisted
in Trois-Rivières.
- François Lacharite, an "hivernant" was a fur trader with the Northwest Company and later, the
American Fur Company. He has a rich history as a "bon vivant".
- Joseph Lacharité, a "voyageur" in the Northwest and Hudson's Bay Companies, was a member of the
1833 Arctic Land Expedition led by Captain Sir George Back.
- From Jean Laspron dit Lacharité came the paternal family names of Lampron, Lacharité, Desfossés,
St Louis, Beaulac, Glaude and others.
