Antoine and Étienne Hébert were brothers. However, the names of their parents are not known. Arsenault says, in the Port-Royal volume of Histoire et généalogie des Acadiens, that Antoine and Étienne Hébert were the sons of Jacques and Marie Juneau. However, the Corrections to Arsenault states that they are not the sons of this couple, giving no further information. Steve White also says that these were not their parents.

I am listing them each on his own page. Antoine arrived in Acadia in 1640, having married in France. This page contains 1194 people in 76K. All the Gaspesian Heberts are descended from Antoine. Étienne also arrived in 1640. His page contains 2079 people and is 127K long. Both brothers have descendants in Louisiana.

Descendants of the Acadian Héberts are now living mainly in Québec and Louisiana. For about 100 years, they were in Bonaventure, in the Gaspé, but this family either moved or died out before 1910.

If you have any information on the Hébert family, please take a look at the Hebert Problem Page to see if you can help with any of the Héberts we're looking for.

Special thanks to Richard Hébert for all his help on some of the Heberts I couldn't connect. He is quite an authority on Hebert genealogy, so if you have a question about Héberts that hasn't been answered on these pages, you might want to e-mail Richard at hebertr@CAM.ORG.

The Association of Heberts of Acadia will host its reunion in Cocagne, NB on July 5, 1997. Anyone interested in this reunion should fax (506) 855-7525 asking for more information. (this announcement taken from La Gazette Hebert)

There will be an Hébert Family Reunion as part of the World Acadian Congress. It will be hosted by the Acadian Centre in Abbeville, LA, the weekend of August 6-8, 1999. It is officially called the Heberts of the World. The place will be in Abbeville, La. on the grounds of Mt. Carmel-Vermilion Catholic school. All Acadians who can possibly attend the Congress should plan to be there (I certainly will!), and if you have Hébert ancestry, you'll enjoy this Family Reunion.

For more information on the 1999 reunion, there is now a Web Site at http://www.acadian.net/~vivacadi/.

Dan Hebert has a useful Hébert Descendancy, listing. Check it out at http://kendaco.telebyte.com/~dhebert/hebert.html.
