Founding of the association

Over the years, Claude Chabot, Founder of the Association, has patiently built a directory of thousands of descendants of Mathurin Chabot, the ancestor of the great majority of the Chabots of America. These data were collected by telephone and Internet, in newspapers, through personal contacts and through research at the Société généalogique de Québec.

In order to share this wealth, he decided to appeal to all. Thus, on June 1, 2007, nine people gathered at the Pavillon Louis-Jacques-Casault at Laval University in Quebec City. Helped by a counselor of the founding families of Quebec, they laid the groundwork for the future Association of the Chabots.

Crowning the work of the temporary committee, the Association of the Chabots received its Patent Letters from the Registraire des entreprises du Québec on June 18, 2007 under the number 1164506231. The Association is member of the Federation of the Founding Families of Quebec since June 28, 2007 under number 286. The Association was subsequently provided with rules and regulations whose first official version was presented to members at the annual meeting held in Saint-Lazare-de-Bellechasse on September 28, 2008.
