Hommage à Pierre Richard

Marié à Françoise Miville
Né en 1646 à Saint-Georges-des-Coteaux
en Saint-Onge, France

Arrivé en Nouvelle-France en 1670
Il a vécu sur cette terre de 1673 a 1719
Ses héritiers ont donné ce terrain
à la fabrique de Cap-Saint-Ignace

Association des Familles Richard, 20 août 2000

Ce monument en hommage à Pierre qui a été érigé au Canada est le premier en hommage à un ancêtre Richard arrivé en Nouvelle-France. Les registres disponibles aujourd’hui en Nouvelle-Orléans, France, débutent en 1610 et nous nous permettons d’espérer que la majorité des neuf ancêtres Richard arrivés ici sont les descendants d’un même en Europe. Ainsi, l’hommage rendu à Pierre avec ce splendide et très visible monument est sûrement cher au cœur des personnes portant le patronyme Richard au Québec, au Canada et ailleurs.

Tribute to Pierre Richard

Married to Françoise Miville
Born in 1646 in Saint-Georges-des-Coteaux
in Saint-Onge, France

Arrived in New France in 1670
He lived on this property from 1673 to 1719
His heirs gave this land
to the Cap-Saint-Ignace parish council.

Association of Richard Families, August 20, 2000

This monument to Pierre, which was erected in Canada, is the first to pay tribute to an ancestor Richard who arrived in New France. The registers available today in New Orleans, France, begin in 1610 and we allow ourselves to hope that the majority of the nine ancestors Richard arrived here are the descendants of the same one in Europe. Thus, the tribute to Pierre with this splendid and very visible monument is surely dear to the hearts of people bearing the surname Richard in Quebec, Canada and elsewhere.
