This site contains genealogy, history, stories and photographs of the early settlers who arrived, as they would live, by the sea, to begin life in the birthplace of Canada, the Gaspésie in the province of Quebec. Included are the histories of the Baker’s Hotel family,as well as the settlers of Percé , Bonaventure Island, Cape Cove, Newport, the Gaspé Basin and several surrounding communities. Micmac, French, English, Irish, Scots, Channel Islanders, American Loyalists, and settlers from many other countries married, creating a blended mosaic of families, uniquely and richly Gaspésian. Our family histories are supported by citations from primary sources, family and tombstone photographs and old letters and documents, many generously donated by descendants of those who gave us ’Our Gaspé Roots.’ Living person details not shown for privacy reasons PLEASE REMEMBER TO SIGN THE GUEST BOOK! NEW DATA, MEMORIES, STORIES & PHOTOS ARE ALWAYS GRATEFULLY RECEIVED! Baker’s Hotel history began in the 1800s, with thousands of folk world wide either enjoying their stay as tourists or working for the best known of the Baker family proprietors, my great uncle John Baker. Uncle John owned Baker’s Hotel, Baker’s Lodge and the One Ash Inn which my father and his siblings inherited when Uncle John died in 1930. It is said that one needn’t put the full address for Baker’s Hotel when sending an inquiry. It was so well known that simply addressing your letter to Baker’s Hotel in the province of Québec would be enough for that letter to find its way to the front desk of the hotel. The earliest mention of a member of the Baker’s Hotel family in Quebec records is William Baker, born about 1795, who married Susan Baudin, a member of one of the founding families of the Gaspésie.It was through John Baker, William’s son, and John’s wife, Marie Catherine Smith, that the family’s history in the hotel industry began, setting the course for generations of hotel keepers amongst the Baker family of Gaspé. Our Jessop ancestors also were hoteliers of note in the region, with Jessop’s Hotel at Newport on the Gaspé coast and George Jessop acting as general manager of the Chateau Frontenac in Québec city for many years. Marie Catherine Smith’s family traces back through the Maloneys, the Becker dit Blondins and the Davids, a founding family of Quebec.There has always been name confusion with Johann Becker (dit Blondin)’s descendants who are named as Becker, Blondin or Baker in various reports. The naming of ’ dit Blondin’ as was used for the early Becker settlers of Percé/Bonaventure Island will serve as a distinguisher of that family line. The last name use of all male line descendants of Becker dit Blondin is now BLONDIN. There is data as well on several United Empire loyalist families who settled in Gaspé in the 1700s, including Joseph Tripp, a well known Gaspé Whaling Captain who descended from Robert Tripp, a Loyalist of Rhode Island. Additional data has been provided by Aldo Brochet whose studies focus on documented history of the early settlers of the areas surrounding Percé, including Bonaventure Island. Although several photographs loaned by fellow Gaspesians are linked with data on the site, there are more to enjoy. Here is the growing collection of shared ancestral photographs from Gaspé family members. https://photos.app.goo.gl/X39NHGJHpG8u8hsD6 Many of the photographs and documents shown on this site come from the Baker family collection, which have been donated to the Gaspé Museum to be part of the ’Baker Family Fond’. ’This is a ’ work in progress ’ with additions made as new discoveries are uncovered.You are cautioned that Census Information is often faulty due to language difficulties, poor memories at time of census, etc. so census data should be viewed simply as a means of placing that person in a time frame and area, and shouldn’t necessarily be accepted as complete information. Data errors may occur, although every effort is made to document and correct those pointed out to me. Any sharing of new information is appreciated.
