The Gaucher Family
Genealogical Database

(updated 03 April 2011)

Thanks to Mario Gaucher for his contribution to this database.

A special thanks to Josée Racine of St-Paul d'Abbotsford, Québec, who has spent hours of research into archives documenting the Gaucher family. She has generously shared this information with us, providing many details of the Québec branches of the family tree.

The most recent discovery of the royal link between the Gauchers and King Louis IX (St-Louis) of France is the result of lengthy research by Violet Gaucher, for whose discovery of this fascinating piece of history we are very grateful.
