This presentation will discuss UE Loyalists who settled in Quebec, when they came and where
they settled. Many only stayed in Quebec for a short period of time before moving on to what is
now Ontario so you may have UE ancestors with connections to Quebec you don’t know about.
Denis Fortier has been pursuing genealogy for about 15 years. He serves as the Victoria
UELAC branch genealogist. He is also currently a member of the Victoria Genealogical Society,
Ontario Ancestors and UELAC. Denis was born in Quebec and most of his own family
research centers on that Province. Branches of his family trace back to early settlers of New
France, including Louis Hébert who is the very first settler to bring his family to New France (in
1617). Much to his surprise, Denis also discovered he had Acadian, Scottish, English and
American Loyalist ancestors, all of whom settled in the Province of Quebec.
