OBJECTIVES

The Association des Dubé d’Amérique basically pursues objectives linked to the history and genealogy of Dubé families. The Association also hopes to facilitate contacts between present-day Dubé families. The means towards these objectives are:

• to find the origins of our family name and draw a profile of our early ancestors;
• to commemorate the sites associated with the family history and the early establishment of Dubés in America by installing plaques or erecting monuments;
• to identify the major channels used by Dubés in spreading their roots on the North-American continent;
• to draw the profile of representative families or individuals bearing our family name;
• to disseminate available information in a liaison newsletter, on a website and at genealogical booths;
• to collect genealogical data on Dubés and publish it in directories; 
• to organize grassroots commemorative celebrations and meetings by mobilizing Dubés;
• to propose to its members root finding trips to our ancestors’ native land and establish links with our cousins in France;
• to establish relationships with other founding families proud of their family names and eager to pursue common goals towards important collective matters, particularly through membership in the Fédération des familles-souches québécoises [Federation of Quebec Founding Families].
