The Dupuis’ & Roy’s of Penetanguishene
The booklet is a short history of the Paul Dupuis & Albert Roy families of Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada. Both families would have heraldic roots with ancestors holding titles such as Lords, Seigneurs, Chevaliers and knights.
Tracing their Eastern European roots from England and the Puy region of France, their eventual migration to New France and Acadia in the mid-twentieth would culminate with both families settling in the Penetanguishene region, near Georgian Bay and their eventual intersecting through marriage. This booklet ends with the deaths of Albert Roy and Paul Dupuis.
