Boucherville Graveyard - Ste Famille

I recently went to a graveyard located in old Boucherville to learn more about the people who have previously lived in our city, here are my findings:

The five oldest gravestones in the graveyard belong to:

Marie Adeline Lalumiere - 1874

Arthur Poissant - 1885
Napoleon Sicotte - 1888Etienne Lussier - 1895

Toussaint Sicotte  - 1896
Victoria Soumis - 1905

All of these last names are of French origin, therefore it is simple to assume that for the most part, people living in boucherville during the late 19th, and early 20th century were mostly of French origin.

The four newest gravestones on the date of my visit: April 17th, 2011 were:

Jean-Francois Fontaine - 1974-2010
Armand Locas - 1930 - 2010
Paul Carbonneau - 1938 - 2010
Pierette Paradis 1936 - 2010
Once again, these gravestones belonged to people with french names. Proving that a majority of the people living in Boucherville are of french background.

There was 1 crypt in the graveyard, it belonged to the Famille N. Robert.

One of the biggest tombstones belonged to the Marechal family, there was also a very old stone tombstone belonging to the Germain family in 1893, but the names were illegible.

A very popular last name seen throughout the graveyard was Sicotte and Racicot.

Most tombstones were written in French, but one was in Italian and another in Arabic.
