And here's an excerpt from the website...
François Baribeau is one of the many ancestors of whom we now little or nothing concerning parental or regional origins. Some genealogists maintain that he must have come from Saintonge. According to Father Archange Godbout, this master cobbler, born about 1636, arrived in Canada around 1670 with his wife Perrine Moreau and his ten year old son Louis. The year 1670 is little more than an educated guess, based on the supposition that the family crossed the Atlantic no later than 1669. In fact, on 18 January 1670, the notary Romain Becquet arranged a contract of service between Baribeau and the Jesuits. By this time, the family had settled in the area of Québec, probably at Charlesbourg, where their first daughter, Gabrielle, was born in early 1673. On 24 February of that same year, Francois turned in his resignation to Brother Joseph Bousier of the Society of Jesus.
Later on around 1974-1975, he turned over his belongings in the Québec region and moved to the Batiscan shore. On 15 January 1677, our ancestor acquired a property from Jean Lariou dit Lafontaine. It was mentioned in the census of 1681 as the land belonging "to François Baribeau, a 45 year old cobbler and to his wife Perrine Moreau, 46 years old," situated between that of François Frigon and Jean Lariou.
For more information, read the full text of an article on François Baribeau for which I am grateful to Deanna Ebertsch, a Baribeau cousin.
François' descendants by now must number in the 500,000 (312 by my estimate). Of these, about 4,000 (212) are descendants with the last name of Baribeau (and variations).
