The Descent/Sans-pitie/Sampica Family Line BACKBACK to HOME

In this line of the family we found the use of "dit" names. Anyone doing research on French-Canadian names needs to learn about dit names. Once we discovered that people using the names Descent/ Sanspitie/ and Sampica were all the same family the search became a little easier. If you have additional information or comments please send an e-mail.

Red letters indicate I am still searching for additional information. Of course if you have additional information on other family members I will be happy to hear about that too.

Blue letters indicate direct line.
