The Godins

Text by Ludovic Hudon. Chronicle produced in collaboration with the Société de généalogie de l’Outaouais, Inc., published on June 29, 1992

A lineage of Godin (Gaudin) from Quebec descends from Charles Godin and Marie Boucher. The other Godins (called Châtillon) who came at the same time at the beginning of the colony were from Saintonge and Burgundy, while Charles was a native of Aubermesnil-Beaumais in Normandy. This lineage is also completely different from the Godins established in Acadia.

Charles I Godin lived in L’Ange-Gardien after his marriage on November 6, 1656, with Marie Boucher, daughter of Marin and Perrine Mallet. He died at 75 years of age around 1706, having had seventeen children, sixteen of whom founded a home. The birth, marriage, and burial registers show that their offspring spread along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River and then went to Ontario and the United States. Some of the latter would return to the country in the Hull region. [8]
