Thanks for joining me! This site is dedicated to sharing photos, videos, stories, and artifacts of our Gauvin and Gagnon family history.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR! The Gauvin reunion is organized by the Gauvin Association of America and will be in Moncton, New Brunswick in August 2019.
Also, from August 10-24, 2019, the Acadian World Congress, a festival of Acadian and Cajun culture held every five years, will also be taking place on Prince Edward Island and the communities along the southeastern shore of New Brunswick.
Last year, I was fortunate to be able to go to La Gagnonnière, (near Tourourve, France) to the farm where our Gagnon ancestors lived in the 15-1600’s.
Enjoy viewing these Photos and Video of La Gagnonnière, France.
This plaque, depicting the 3 Gagnon brothers Mathurin, Jean, and Pierre, is on display in the Parc de l’Unesco in Quebec City near the location of the store the Gagnon brothers operated in 1651.
In 2008, a few of us enjoyed a cool drink in the bar of what was the Grand Central Hotel in Magog, Canada. This hotel was owned by the Gauvin family and my grandfather Odilon ran the hotel until 1946. Odilon, Regina and family then moved to Sherbrooke for a short time before moving to Lewiston, Maine in 1947.
The hotel was built around 1890 on Main Street, near the train station, under the name Central Hotel. In 1906, the name was changed to Grand Central Hotel. As of September 2018, the building is not in use.
