The Cyrenne and Syrenne migration is very interesting to follow. First, the family took root in Becancour, Qc with the birth of Joseph-Charle Cyren, born on July 30th 1771, son of Pierre Deshaies St-Cyren .

Migration began in 1877 with the first family moving to Precieux-Sang. The first long distance migration took place in 1900 when a family moved to Fannystelle, Manitoba. It does not appear to have been any migration eastward. For sure, there is no family in the Atlantic Provinces.

Details of the migration are displayed on three tables each table having three columns:

First columns holds the name of cities of origin;

the second, the name of the new cities and

the third, the approximate date of migration

Please note that village and city names followed by an [*] indicate a Syrenne family. You will find, for example, that the migration from Becancour to Fannystelle took place from Cyrenne to Syrenne as the family changed name once moved to Fannystelle.

How have we determined a migration date. First, to have a migration we must know the following three variables:

1. The place of birth of the parents;

2. The place of birth of one of their child that differs from the place of birth of the parents;

3. The date of birth of the first child born at this new place.

This date of birth is taken as being the migration date. It is quite possible that the parents arrived at this new city sometime prior the birth. The date of migration will therefore be adjusted when known. When a date of birth is partially know, such as 196., the [.] was replaced with a [0]. Should you have any correction you wish to make advise us via e-mail.

Please note that only the name Cyrenne and Syrenne are followed for migration purposes, that is to say, the decendants of Cyrenne and Syrenne daughters, who bear a different family name, are not taken into consideration in these tables.

Should the name of your city or village not being displayed, it means we are missing one or more of the variables mentioned earlier. Please advise us and we will make the addition.

It is also possible that a family moved to a new city but no child born after the move, again, advise us and we will amend.


Table #1

The first table lists all known migrations in date order.

For example, you will be able to see what migrations took place between 1900 and 1938.


Table #2

The second table list migrations that took place from a village or city of origin. The list is in alphabetical order by city of origin and by date.

For example, you will be able to see the migration that took place from the village of Becancour and when it happened.


Table #3

The third and last table list migrations from the new city point of view. The table is in alphabetical order by new city and by year.

For example, you will be able to see the village of origin for the Cyrenne and Syrenne established in Ponteix.
