Tapin Family History

Julie Tapin Lusk

I am proud to be a member of the Tapin family.  Here is a glimpse into our family’s history and ancestry.  We date back to 1429 and originated in France. This is documented in “6 old history books” and summarized in the letter below that was written by Michel Tapin in April 1995 to Mrs. John F. White.

Antoine Tapin moved from France to Canada in 1646. My dad, Thomas Phillip Tapin, used a typewriter to peck out the family tree from information he had received from Gertrude, his sister, that she primarily got from church records.  It’s below the letter.

This information is typed exactly like the original documents are.  You will see that some names and places are spelled differently.  I chose not to attempt to make ‘corrections’ and give you the information as it is written.

More information will be added after my scanner is fixed.

With deep love and respect,
Julie Tapin Lusk


St-Elie d’Orford                                                                                                          April 5, 1995
Mrs. John F. White
7944 46th Ave
Kenosha, WI 53142 USA

Dear Mrs. White,

I have received your letter and opened the package with great excitement. I should first thank you for reviving the interest in me for the family history. This will force me to take time and explore the work that my father did on the subject. I guess that I am arriving at the age where the interest of knowing where I come from is getting more important as the time “to go” gets a little bit nearer. It seems to happen to a few people and I wonder why? My father once told me, that if you find out where you came from you will have a pretty fair idea where you’re heading to. The forward trajectory of the golf ball has a lot to do with the back swing. What we have become today has a lot to do with what our ancestors did.

Before I go any further, I have got to say that I am a little short of time at the present and I wish I had the luxury of being retired. However, the curious side of me has taken over strongly and I have already spent a few nights until the early morning hours rummaging through the information that my father has gathered on the Tapins over the years. I am afraid that there will be many more of these nights from now on!

It will be a great pleasure for me to fill you in on the history of “La famille des Tapins”. The information that my father gathered is in a great big box and it pretty much is out of order, but I am sure that every thing shall be sorted out for you. However, it is “en francais” but I will translate the information that would be of interest to you. Keep in mind that this is an adventure of discovery in every way for me also.

I am very happy that you discovered my father’s name by chance it seems. He was born in St. Louis de Courville on the 19th of April, 1902 and died in St-Hubert on the 27th of May 1977. He was well known around Montreal having been involved in politics and other public matters. He was a devout Christian, loved by everyone and a totally giving person. He was also an excellent violinist and pianist. He had been a member of the Montreal Symphony in its early beginnings. He had a jolly personality and a great storyteller. I have moved from my hometown 20 years ago, but I am told that the old people still remember him.

Before returning to the immediate family, I have to tell you that my father had 6 old history books in which we find the name Tapin mentioned. The books tell the history of the town of Chalon sur Saone. The first Tapin to come to this continent was, as you know, Antoine and he came from the Poitou which is in the middle eastern part of France. It would be interesting to find from what part of France the father of Toussaint Tapin originated because in the books it is said that the Tapins originated in the village of Ruilly in the canton de Chagny which is in the district of Chalon. In the year 1429 according to the Memoiresde la Societe d’Histoires et d’Archeologie de Chalon – sur- Saone, a one Philibert Tapin founded a chapel in the parish church. (Memoires de la Societe d’Hist. etd’Arch. De Chalon, tome II 1850, p. 178.) In the middle of the 15th century, a branch of the family moved to Laives in the canton de Sennecy, in the district of Chalon. Pierre Tapin was an alderman in 1451, and also the town notary. Jean then Claude took over the practice until 1580. Jean and Claude seem to be the sons of Pierre.

The Chalonnese Tapins were from the branch of Laives, and one of them another Claude, is an investigator for the “baillage” (bailiff) at the start of 1540. This Claude Tapin was a great benefactor to the community funding the restoration of the town College. Ref: Archives de Saone et Loire E. 1441, 1054. J. L. Bazin, Les Seigneurs du nom de Sennecy, Macon, 1904 p 46 note I. This Claude Tapin is referred as Claude le vieil “the old.” There was another Claude Tapin, probably his son, who held in Chalon many offices notably controller of the salt storehouse and tax receiver. He was elected mayor in 1615. His heart was filled with sorrow upon the death of his eldest son sieur Tapin de PERRIGNY that he died before finishing his term as mayor. He was coseigneur by his wife Philiberte Caillard of d’Ouroux. Jean Caillard, her father, was also coseigneur d’Ouroux and treasurer of the parliament of Bourgogne. Philiberte Caillard sold in 1628 her land to Sermaizey near Laives. Afterwards, she was the lender of considerable sums to the city of Chalon. She died in 1651 giving part of her fortune to the hospital. The mayor of Chalon from his union with Philiberte Caillard had it said 3 girls married to the sieurs of Mucie, Rigoley and Guyet and as many sons. The eldest Jean-Baptiste Tapin de Perrigny controller of the salt storehouse was renowned for his successes in crossbow competition which he was proclaimed king. His brother Pierre was a chanoine (priest) and singer and cure d’Ouroux died in 1659. The other brother Claude was counseller to the “baillage” and married Jeanne Nicquevard and by testament left to the College a heritage known as the “Claude Tapin Foundation.”

The Tapin family were noblelized in 1647 by the king in the Parliament of Dijon with the coat of arms: d’azur au chevron d’or accompagne en chef de deux etoiles d’argent et en pointe d’un pin de meme.” They were known as Seigneurs de Perrigny, Guerfand, and Barons de Grignon. The family died in the XVIII century.

Tapin Coat of Arms

My father had his coat of arms made out which resembles the above description. (attached).

There are also 4 volumes of the history “Les Capucins de l’ancienne province de Lyon,” written by P. Theotime de Saint. Just a big part of the story was done by Father Michel Ange Tapin during his life. Father de Saint. Just in the postface talks about the honorable famile Tapin de Chalon-Sur Saone and Antoine Tapin and refers to my father as a direct descendant of the noble famile Tapin of Chalon. As you can see, our roots are in excellent soil. An interesting note in my father’s diary Monday, March 20, 1953. Quote “Received invitation by the Royal Government of England to assist at the Coronation of Her Majesty the Queen Elisabeth II in Westminster Abbey, two are reserved for Gaetane and me. His comments” ‘great donor due to the name of the ancestors.”

My father never went to France. He was not a travelling person in his retirement years. He did all his research by mail which is much slower. He was successful at it by the looks of all the information that was accumulated. It would surly be nice to go to France and take a look around and see if we can go a little further than 1429.

I will surely send a word to your ½ uncle. It seems that the love of music is in our genes. Does your uncle sing? I have a trained tenor voice. I give solo recitals whenever the time permits around Sherbrooke. Before I moved to Sherbrook, I had dreams of a career in opera. I stopped singing when I moved here and dropped the dream. I restarted voice training a couple of years ago for the joy of it and as a hobby. It helped me pass through some very hard times. I will keep on signing as long as I can. I will surely stop however, if I get bad feedback from the audience. When that time comes, I will retire to the shower and close the door!

As I am going along in my father’s work, notes, etc., there is a lot of material, and it gets confusing in the late hours. It would surely be pleasant if you ever were around these parts of the country to have a conversation about the subject. After looking at the material that you sent me, it would had been great if my father had a computer. Here is how I am connected directly to Antoine Tapin.

  • Antoine Tapin married Jeanne Magdeleine Quebec 4 Nov. 1669
  • Son Rene married Louise Loriot Pte. aux Trembles 4 Nov 1698
  • Son Jean-Baptiste married Marie Frechet Charlesbourg 29 Jan. 1731
  • Son Joseph married Esther Moisan Ancienne Lorette 15 Nov 1779
  • Son Joseph married Louise Mailloux Notre Dame Quebec 9 June 1801
  • Son Joseph married Marie Doyle St Roch de Quebec 1 Oct. 1833
  • Son Joseph married Marie Cournoyer Sorel 20 June 1871
  • Son Narcisse married Parmelia Malo Nativite de Montreal 16, Avril 1901
  • Son Lucien married Gaetane Savage St-Louis de France Montreal. 12 Juin 1940
  • Son Michel married Lorraine Blankwater St-Jean Eudes St-Hubert 9 Oct 1965

I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future. I am certain that you surely have a few questions. In the meantime, I will continue to take a look in my father’s work. I have a project of rewriting the whole family story when everything gets clear and in focus.

By the way, I have a very wonderful wife and two great sons. Daniel, who has just finished his master’s degree in chemical engineering is leaving for a few months for a tour of 25.000 kilometers in the USA. I don’t think that he has planned to pop in Kenosha, but who knows? The other one, Benoit, who is 7 years younger than Daniel at 20 is married and we have a grand-daughter Jasmine since July 1994. He and his wife, Sofie, are both artists. Benoit is a musician and Sofie is a painter. They’re moving to Quebec City this summer to study.

I am enclosing a copy of the family coat of arms and a photo of Antoine Tapin’s house in Neuville. I have another very old photo that has Antoine written on it. It’s very faint and impossible to copy. I doubt however of its authenticity. I will check it out. Someone must have given it to my father on a trip to Neuville, but there is no clue to the giver’s name.

I am sure that there are a few errors here and there. I don’t have very much practice of the English language and since I moved to Sherbrooke, I have been losing it a bit year by year. It has been a good exercise.

Thanks for the fifteen dollars. It was not really necessary. I will put it on ice for a bottle of wine for our proposed lunch if ever you’re in Sherbrooke.

Hoping to hear from you soon and the very best to your family. Yours truly and newly found cousin,

Solving Holiday Stress

November 29, 2010 by Julie Lusk

Solving Holiday Stress

Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Nicholas, Kwanza, Winter Solstice, Navidades, Hanukkah, St. Lucia Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s, the holidays are inherently stressful.

Decide now whether this year will be full of the season’s stressful traps or fulfilling with plenty of treasures to be thankful for.  Now is the time to set priorities and make the necessary changes so the holidays are inspiring and energizing instead of a drain.  It’s especially important to pay attention to what your needs and wishes are for your body, mind, and heart while finding the balance with sharing with others.

Operating on automatic can add even more stress causing unhappiness, sickness, poor relationships and lack of energy. Why not improve your ability to handle stress by practicing the following effective ways to cope with stress.  I DARE you to Relax!  Please check out the CD’s down below too.  Each provide helpful tools and techniques for renewal.  They make excellent gifts too.

DARE to Relax includes: D = Diet; A = Attitude and Awareness; R = Rest, Relaxation and Relationships; E = Exercise.

DIET: Don’t deprive yourself of essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals that can help you reduce the effects of daily stress.  Stress uses up your supply of vitamins A, B and C which can lead to feeling irritable and tired.  Calcium is essential for your central nervous system to function normally.  Without enough, your nerves become frayed.  If you consistently eat well-balanced meals, you can fortify your system giving you the nourishment to guard against the harmful effects of stress.

Eat a nutritious breakfast

Choose fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains

Choose baked or broiled food instead of fried

Cut down on too much fat, salt, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, additives and preservatives

Maintain a healthy weight

Choose holiday foods with care.  Eat the special things that are delicious and bring you in touch with warm memories.  You really don’t have to eat everything to get the taste of the holidays.

ATTITUDE AND AWARENESS: Research shows that as much as 75% of illnesses are the result of experiencing too much stress.  Not being able to handle stress properly can decrease the effectiveness of your immune system.  Become more aware of how you respond to tension and stress in your life and begin to make adjustments.  Are you responding appropriately?  Could you be over-reacting?  Is it possible to avoid or change a situation that causes you anxiety?  By improving your awareness and improving how you react to stress, it might be possible to avoid some of your headaches, stomachaches and other problems.  Try laughing.  Laughter is like internal jogging.  It aids digestion and improves alertness and productivity by sending blood and oxygen to your brain and increases the production of the body’s catecholamines.

Learn to accept situations you can’t change; give in once in a while

Learn to communicate with others; talk your worries out

Take one thing at a time; don’t take on too many changes at once

Manage your time more effectively; don’t procrastinate

Be positive and realistic

Express your feelings in healthy ways

Create variety in your work; do old things new ways

REST AND RELAXATION: It is much easier to handle stress if you are rested and know how to remain calm.  Getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night is essential.  Although recreation and being diverted from stress is helpful (playing a sport, watching a movie) true relaxation is different.  It involves giving yourself an honest break from activity and excess stimulation.  Breathing deeply, smoothly, slowly and from the diaphragm is relaxing since it too sends a fresh supply of blood to the brain and throughout the body.  It oxygenates your system and even slows down the heartbeat.

Plan leisure time; take breaks

Spend time on a hobby; seek new interests

Schedule some quiet time alone every day; meditate; pray

Have fun, play and laugh

Cut down on noise levels at home and work; turn the radio or TV off

Replenish yourself with therapeutic relaxation, guided imagery and affirmations. See the suggestions for CD’s below to feel rejuvenated improve your outlook and help your health.

EXERCISE: When under stress, there is an increase of adrenalin in the system as part of the flight or fight response, which can drain you of energy if not effectively released.  Exercise regularly to work stresses off positively.  This can improve your productivity and increase your energy.  Be sure to choose physical activity that you enjoy.

This may be the year to tamper with holiday traditions so the spirit and meaning of the holidays are once again filled with tidings of comfort and joy.

Help for the holidays. These CD’s will replenish your energy and renew your outlook.  They make great gifts too!
