Thanks in advance.

Aline:
I have the Ladouceur in my ancestry as my paternal grandmother.
Josephine Ladouceur who was the daughter of Moise Ladouceur (dit Lamagdeleine)
and tracing her line back I found another dit name of Magdelein. So there are
at least two other dit names that you have to search for in addition to
Ladouceur.
In my direct line there is no Herberet LADOUCEUR.

I'm afraid I cannot help you with Herbert Ladouceur and Anastasie
Marleau.
But if, indeed, as another correspondant has suggested, your
Ladouceur is indeed a "Madelaine DIT Ladouceur", I can tell you
where you will eventually end, considering that all the Madelaine
dit Ladouceur from the Lake St-Louis/Two-Mountains Lake
(St-Benoit) come from one source:
Vivien (sometimes written as Vivier) MAGDELEINE dit Ladouceur,
son of Jean and Elisabeth Parisis, from St-Hilaire near Cognac,
in the diocese of Saintes, (ancient French province of
Saintonge).
He was born c. 1641; died October 15 1708 in Lachine (near
Montreal) where the 1681 census has him listed as a shoemaker.
November 12, 1672, in Montreal, he married Marie Godin (or
Gaudin) dit Chatillon, daughter of Pierre and Jeanne Rousseliere.
they had at least 8 children. He was one of the early settlers of
Lachine; later some of his children moved to near-by
Pointe-Claire.
Like most families of Lachine, some of its members were
"voyageurs" - hired help by the fur merchants to canoe back an
forth between lachine and the Great Lakes, transporting furs and
other goods. Some of them settled permanently either in the
Detroits (as is was called, then), or in the various French posts
along the Illinois or the Arkansas.
MAGDELAINE, also spelled MAGDELEINE or MADELEINE (like the female
name) was the real family name; Ladouceur was the dit name. As
far as I know both MAGDELAINE and Ladouceur were indifferently
used by Vivien's descendants. Before mid-XIXth century, before
family name spelling was normalized, the name was also sometimes
spelled LaMadeleine, or even Lamadelenne.

Thank you to both of you for the probility on the "dit" name for
Ladouceur. I do have copies of the pages on Magdelein and Madelaine from
Tanguay's so I'll see if I can make a connection there.
