Notes about Francois Hamel
The Story of the Hamel Name Hamel_2007added this on 24 Jan 2007 It was from the commune of Avremesnil, located in the canton of Bacqueville-in-Caux, district of Dieppe, where the two Hamel brothers arrived in Quebec in 1656. The son of François Hamel and his wife, Charles Hamel was born in 1624 and his brother, Jean Hamel, about 1635. Charles Hamel married Judith Auvray in Avremesnil, Normandy, about 1650. Jean married Judith’s sister, Marie Auvray. The two brothers settled in Sillery, Quebec, New France, in 1662. In 1667, the census takers find the brothers on the Michaelmas coast, living within two kilometers of one another. Jean Hamel is living on the property of Nicolas Gaudry, which he bought in 1665, after having been employed by Jean Gloria, a friend of the Hamel brothers, who had become a notary in 1663. He died in October 1668. From there, Jean Hamel went to Sainte-Foy to the Wilfrid-Hamel Boulevard, east of Rue Mackay. The name Hamel comes from the words ham and hamlet. A ham was either a thatched cottage, or a hamlet. A hamlet could be quoted more or less as meaning a small "agglomeration of rural houses located at the variation of the village." Other names of the era which derive from Hamel are Hamelin, Hamelet and Hamelot, these last three being diminutives of the first. In France, Hamel is also borough of approximately 500 inhabitants, located in the department of the Sum, close to Villier-Bretonneux, in Picardy, northern France.
