      (DICTIONNAIRE NATIONAL des CANADIENS FRANCAIS)
      Steven White of the Centres d'Etudes Acadiennes has doubts about parent

      It has been shown that Antoine and his brother, Etienne Hebert,the progenitors of the Acadian Heberts. Antoine worked as a copper (barrel maker). He (and many of the early Acadians) were thought to have been recruited by Charles D'MenouAulnay from the area of SE of Loudon (Martaize, La Chausse)


      Arrived in New France in 1640,along with his brother Etienne. Whether they arrived together is not known for sure. It has been shown that Antoine and Etienne Hebert, the progenitors of Acadian Heberts, were brothers. For a long time, it was thought that they had a 3rd brother,Jacques, and were sons of Jacques Hebert and Marie Juneau of France. It has since been shown that Jacques (Jr. and Sr.) were actually Haberts,and not related to Antoine and Etienne. We still do not know the exact origin of these two brothers. It is commonly assumed that Antoine married Genevieve in France. DeSaulnier says Antoine had married earlier in France and had left behind 4 children in France. His birth year,according to census reports, ranges from 1614 to 1621. His arrival date in Acadian is unknown. Some say he came in 1640, while others put the date closer to 1648. Since neither he nor Etienne produced children before 1648, the latter date may be more accurate. Antoine worked as a cooper(barrel maker). He (and many of the early Acadians) were thought to have been recruited by Charles d'Menou Aulnay from the area SE of Loudon(Martaize, LaChaussee, etc.).


      Possibly arrived in New France in 1648 on the ship La Verve with his wife and brother.


      [hebert.ged] Brian Comeaux, "The Morning Advocate, May 7, 1998, Baton Rouge,La.,"Column by Damon Veach, entitled "Louisiana Ancestors". The first Acadian census in 1671 mentions two Hebert families. The first was that of Anthoine Hebert and his wife, Genevieve Lafrance, and the second was that of the widow of Estienne Hebert---Maire Gaudet. Due to the number of certificates of marriage dispensation that still exist, it has been possible to determine that Anthoine and Estienne Hebert were brothers.They were the sons of Jacques Hebert & Marie Juneau of Balesmes, in the present day French department of Indre-et-Loire, located near the city of Tours. They came to Port Royal around 1648 during the governorship of Charles de Menou d'Aulnay, whose French seigneurie was not far from Balesmes. Anthoine was apparently married before his departure and came to Port Royal with his wife. Estienne married within a year of his arrival to Marie Gaudet, the daughter of Jehan Gaudet and Francoise Marie Daussy. They were two of the earliest Acadian settlers. Today the Hebert family is one of the largest in Louisiana. There are concentrations of thefamilies throughtout Acadiana, but especially in Lafayette, Vermilion, Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes.




      Ray Arcement@usa.net (unknown website) Antoine was a cooper and arrived in Acadia in July 1640 under a recruitment by Charles de Menoud'Aulnay. He and his brother were the progenitors of all of the Acadian Hebert's and their descendants. They were under the command of Germain Doucet, Seiur la Verdure, Captain of Arms of Pentagoet.


      *Arrived in Acadia in 1640.

      Antoine Hebert arrived in Acadia in 1640 with his brother. In 1645, he married Genevieve LeFranc at Port Royal (Acadia).. Newspaper articlestates that Antoine was born in Martiaize in theregion of Loudun, France.


      [2051196-Allen-Burgess.ged.FTW] Antione Hebert was the son of Jacques Hebert and Marie Juneau,fromLa-Haya-Descartes, parich of Balesnes, in Touraine, France. GenevieveLe France was coming from France.


      Two brothers traveled to and settled in Acadia some say in about 1640 still others say in 1648. The Heberts of Acadia have come from two sources. Antoine Hebert, born between 1614 and 1621, and married around 1648 to Genevieve Lefranc, probably a widow, who was born in 1613. Etienne Hebert, whose date of birth is unknown to us, died before the census of 1671, was married at Port Royal around 1650 to Marie Gaudet, daughter of Jean Gaudet and Nicole Colson. a chi Dispensations which were sought by their descendants, proves that Antoine and Etienne Hebert were brothers. They were the source of the greater number of Heberts in Canada an the United States.


      [11221a.ged] Antoine Hebert was born 1621 in LaHaye-Descarte, Balesne,Touraine,France1. He married Genevieve LaFranc 1639 in Touraine,France2. Notes for Antoine Hebert: Antoine was a cooper and arrived in Acadia inJuly 1640 under arecruitment by Danrles De Menou D'Aulnay. He and his brother, Etienne,were the progenitors of all of the Acadian HEBERTs and their descendants. They were under the command of Germain DOUCET, Sieur LaVerdure, Captain of Arms of Pentagoet. Children of Antoine Hebert and Genevieve LaFranc are: Jean Hebert, born 1649 in Acadia. Jean Baptiste Hebert, born 1653 in Port Royal, Acadia; died November 03,1710 in GrandPre, Acadia. Catherine Hebert, born 1656 in Port Royal, Acadia. from "Someday" - Homepage of Steve and Natalie Flemming and translated from the internet site List of Patronymes: Two Hbert brothers arrive at Port-Royal, in Acadie, between years 1645 and 1650. The elder one, Antoine Hbert was born between 1614 and 1621. It arrives with his wife Genevieve LeFrance. The junior, Estienne Hbert was born towards 1630. We are unaware of the name of their parents, nor the place of their exact origin. Perhaps originating in Tourraine or Loudunois, the Roadway, in Mortaiz. There is not any link with the pioneer of the pioneers, Louis Hbert. Present description, relates mainly to the ancestor Estienne Hbert, who creates us links of descent,in this genealogy. Estienne Hbert, ploughman and farmer,wife withPort-Royal, in 1650, Marie Gaudet, born between 1626 and 1633,girl of the ancestor Jehan Gaudet and Marie Daussay. tienne Hbert and Marie Gaudet have ten children, five wire and five girls, between 1651 and 1669, with Port-Royal, in Acadie. A girl and a son have descent which concerns us, in this genealogy. Marguerite Hbert was born into 1652, with Port-Royal and becomes the wife into 1678, of the ancestor Jacques-Nicolas LePrince, born into 1646, originating in St-Malo of Brittany. The son, tienne Hbert, born twin with Emmanuel, in 1654, wife in 1678, with Port-Royal,Jeanne Comeau, born in 1662, sister ofPierreComeau, known as Esturgeon and girl of the ancestorsPierre-Estienne Comeau and Rose Bayol. tienne Hbert and Jeanne Comeau have eight children, six girls and two boys, of which Jean-baptiste Hbert, born in 1692. Jean-baptiste marries with Large-Pre, about 1711, Jeanne-AnneBoudrot, then, after the death of this one, it marries on January 9,1719, lisabeth Granger, girl of Pierre Granger and lisabeth Guillebourg. With the fourth generation, Honore Hbert, born in 1738, in Pisiguit, marries on November 4, 1771, Madeleine Prince. In the fifth generation, Jean-Chrysostome Hbert, born in 1779, wife on April 20,1807, with Nicolet, Marie-Anne Hon, born in 1787, in Bcancour. Their daughter, Marie-Zoe Hbert, marry on January 11, 1836, Mose Boisvert, link which continues to my mother, Pierrette Boisvert. The ancestor Estienne Hbert dies into 1670. The grandmother, Marie Gaudet marries insecond weddings Domenica Garaut. The significance of the name Hbert, derived in Normandy from Herbert, itself resulting from the Germanic name Hari-Berht, is of Hari = armed, people and of Berht =shining, famous.

      and from Tim Hebert's website The Hebert Genealogy:

      1. Antoine2 HEBERT (1) was born 1614-1621 in France, and died in Port Royal, Acadia. He married Genevieve LEFRANCE. Notes It has been shown that Antoine and Etienne Hebert, the progenitors of Acadian Heberts, were brothers. For a long time, it was thought that they had a 3rd brother, Jacques, and were sons of Jacques Hebert and Marie Juneau of France. It has since been shown that Jacques (Jr. and Sr.)were actually Haberts, and not related to Antoine and Etienne. We still do not know the exact origin of these two brothers. It is commonly assumed that Antoine married Genevieve in France. DeSaulnier says Antoine had married earlier in France and had left behind 4 children in France. His birth year, according to census reports, ranges from 1614 to 1621. His arrival date in Acadian is unknown. Some say he came in 1640, while others put the date closer to 1648. Since neither he nor Etienne produced children before 1648, the latter date may be more accurate. Antoine worked as a cooper (barrel maker). He (and many of the early Acadians) were thought to have been recruited by Charles d'Menou Aulnay from the area SE of Loudon (Martaize, LaChaussee, etc.).
      Children of Antoine HEBERT and Genevieve LEFRANCE are:
