Saint-Méen Chapel renovation

The Saint-Méen chapel is very important to the history of the Saindons, because it is there that the parents of Michel, Pierre and Marie Marquer, were married.

We had the great pleasure of visiting the Chapel in 2018, during the unveiling of the commemorative plaque at Bains-sue-Oust, because the Genealogy Club of Oust and Vilaine Counties had organized there "Cousinades Saindon", a meeting of Saindons descendants of Bains. We were there.

Do your ancestors originate from the large SAINDON family?

   During research on the origins of SAINDONS, the Association has sometimes found that the spelling of the name had undergone changes over the years: the most frequent being St-Don, Sindon and Sandon among others. These changes are more frequent in the United States where many Saindons from Quebec emigrated towards the end of the 19th century.

   If your name is one of the above or similar, maybe you belong to the large SAINDON family?

A new commemorative panel at the ancestral house in Cacouna

   A new commemorative panel has been installed recently at the ancestral house of Michel Saindon in Cacouna*. It indicates that 

Michel was baptized on December 2, 1715, at Bains-sur-Oust, Brittany.

   Thereby, it shows the real year of birth of the ancestor. Formerly, it was believed that he was born in 1717 as indicated on a first plaque installed in 1995.

   In 2018, a commmemorative panel  was installed at Bains-sur-Oust in Brittany desscribing the life of Michel in North America after he left Brittany.

* Paid by a special fund raising campaign of members last Spring.
