- The history of the Morel Family was accomplished through the research of the Canadian historian Pierre-Georges Roy. What is reported here is the result of consultaion with a number of sources: Cyprien Tanguay's Genealogical Dictionary, Vol. 1, p. 413; Vol. 6, pp. 95 ff.; Thomas J.

(English version) and the Duquette Family website: www.duquette.org/english/database/index.htm.
The family origins and seat, where succeeding generations lived and died, is the parish of LeGavre, whose church is Notre Dame du Gouvray, in the diocese of Nantes (in which there are 294 parishes), department of Loire-Atlantic, canton of Blain, arrondissement of Chateaubriant, in Brittany, France.
