 France
Noble surnames, such as Berubee, evoke images of the ancient homeland of the French people. The original bearer of the name Berubee, which is a local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of Lorraine. In France, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread. Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. The Berubee family originally lived at the town of Paresse or Parez, in the Lorraine. Although one would at first assume that the name is derived from the city of Paris, evidence suggests that the names of both the town in the Lorraine and the French capital are derived from a Gaulish tribe called the Parisii. Early Origins of the Berubee familyThe surname Berubee was first found in Lorraine, where the family was established in early times. Some members of this family branched into other regions of France, especially north to Normandy. The members of the branch of Bérulle distinguished themselves as the Marquis Bérulle in Champagne, Dauphiné and île-de-France. Several members of this illustrious family became renowned for their contributions to their respective communities. From the branch established in Brittany, there was an advisor in the Court of Appeals of Quimper and a deputy in the Parliament of 1769. The family became even more prominent through many alliances with other important families of the day, such as the Berbis family. Damien Berube, son of Robert and Catherine (née Pognot), was baptized in France on 2nd February 1647. He travelled to the New World in 1671 where he worked at Rivière-Ouelle. After settling in Quebec he married Jeanne Savonnet, daughter of Jacques and Antoinette (née Babilotte), on 22nd August 1679. They had seven children and remained together in Quebec until Damien's death on 7th March 1688. 1 Early History of the Berubee familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Berubee research.
