Many generations, which contributed in their own way to build Quebec as we know it today, came from the union of Michel LePailleur and Catherine Jérémie in 1688.
Notaries, bailiffs, clerics, lawyers, merchants, politicians, teachers and doctors are among the professions chosen by the descendants of this neo-French couple.
