My Doreys originated in Jersey, a Channel Island; the earliest known are from 1690. They moved to Arichat on Isle Madame in the Canadian Province of Nova Scotia in the early 1800s.
This page addresses the family of NancyAnn Dorey, seventh child of Philippe Dorey who was born 1718 in Jersey. NancyAnn was born in Nova Scotia where she married two men and had nine children. Her name in the French records was "Agnes", which is synonymous with Nancy and Anne. I chose to call her "NancyAnn".
According to a 1881 Prince Edward Island census, many LeLacheurs were Methodists. Some were Presbyterians.
I have 73 names across 3 generations. You can:
