Les Gagnon

Post by VGagnon »

The original Gagnon family who came over -- though spelled Gaignon at that time -- were from La Ventrouze in the province of Maine (southern Normandy) in northern France. This is an area of origin for a number of other families who came to New France in the 1600s as well.
