Association des familles Robitaille

Robitailleries

From the very beginning, the Association has published a newsletter called Les Robitailleries. This newsletter is sent to all valid members of the Association.

Since 2017, the newsletter is produced in electronic format (PDF file) and sent to the members by e-mail. 

A list of the front page of the most recent issues is available on-line. 

• Table of the last issues of the Robitailleries

Furthermore, the Association is slowly making available for free the older issues of the Newsletter. 

• Full text of the old issues of the Robitailleries

Starting in spring 2017 (#87), the newsletter is produced both in English and in French. Up until then it was partly bilingual. 

Hypothesis on the Origins of the Name

Over time, some of our collaborators have developped theories on the origin of our family name.

• The Italian Connection
• The Basque Connection
• The French Connection (from the region of Artois)

Do you have your own theory? Tell us about it!

Our Ancestors

Four Robitaille brothers came to Canada in the XVII^th century. Here are a few biographical notes about them.

Our Heritage

To mark visibly passing and contribution of Robitaille's in society, the Association has worked to pose significant milestones in various locations in the region of Quebec.

First, in 1993, a Robitaille Park was built on the site of the ancestral land. In this park, an impressive memorial was erected.

In 1995, in L'Ancienne-Lorette, a commemorative Plaque was affixed to a monument near the church.

In 2003, the Association has developed a new monument in honor of Théodore Robitaille, Lieutenant Governor.
