Note from the author: There are some missing pieces in my search to trace the descendants from the paternal side of the Doucette’s. We know the following: - Fabien Doucette (not sure wife’s name) was father to - - Laurent Doucette married Josephete Savoie. They were parents of - - Francois Doucette (born 1854, died 1923), married Louise Poirier (born 1851, died 1927). - Francois and Louise were parents of - - Henri Doucette (born 1880) married Eleonore Poirier. Henri and Eleonore were parents of - 1) Alphy Doucette (born August 31, 1907, died July 13, 1993) married Margurita Allain (born September 23, 1917). 2) Josephine Doucette (born September 29, 1908) 3) Edmond Doucette (born September 16, 1910) 4) Cyril Doucette (born December 30, 1913).

It appears that the Doucette family are direct descendants of Joseph Doucette, one of the founders of Tignish. We also know that Alphy’s grandmother, Louise Poirier, who married Francois Doucette, was a direct descendant of Joseph DesRoches, one of the founders of Tignish.
