Comment by James P. LaLone on April 12, 2013 at 4:31pm: Janet MacDougall, the most likey variation would be LOUBET. or LOUBAT. LOUBET has the dit name of TOULOUSE. I would try the Loiselle and Rivest marriage indexes which you could order form you local FHC.

Comment by Janet MacDougall on April 9, 2013 at 5:57pm: Part of my Mother's family come from the Beauce and Maine.

One surname is Luby or something similar

Particularly interested in finding out about persons with a similar name from the Beauce
