In a letter from Stephen White (dated May 8, 1992) to my Maine cousin, Dave MacLeod, whose mother was a DOUCET, such is where the evidence first comes to light upon the fact that Germain DOUCET (born 1641 in Port Royal) is not the son of Pierre DOUCET (born 1621 in France) as previously thought by many, including Adrien Bergeron (author of Le Grand Arrangement Des Acadiens au Québec) and Bona Arsenault (author of Histoire et Généalogie des Acadians).

Stephen White has proven that Germain is the son of Germain DOUCET dit Sieur de LaVerdure as a result of Dispensations granted by the Catholic Church when descendants of Germain (born 1641) intermarried with descendants of Pierre (born 1621) as per Dispensation in the 3rd degree granted Nov 26, 1726, at Port-Royal to Germain Doucet (grandson of Germain) to marry Françoise Comeau (granddaughter of Pierre).

I will now attempt to explain further. After my own perusal of Le Grand Arrangement Des Acadiens au Québec by Adrien Bergeron and Bona Arsenault's Histoire et Généalogie des Acadiens, I managed to locate the following individuals named Germain DOUCET:

1. Germain DOUCET dit LaVerdure (born 1595 in France).
2. Germain DOUCET (born 1641 in Port Royal) m 1664 Marguerite Marie Landry (d/o René Landry and Pérrine Bourg).
3. Germain DOUCET (born 1698) m Françoise Comeau (d/o Alexandre Comeau and Marguerite Doucet) on November 26, 1726.
4. Germain DOUCET (born 1721) m Françoise Lapierre in Québec.

Germain DOUCET (1641) had a son Charles (born 1665). Charles was married in 1684 to Huguette-Radegonde Guérin (d/o François Guérin and Anne Blanchard) and they had a son Germain (1698). It is this grandson to Germain (1641) who married Françoise Comeau. 

Dispensation in the 3rd degree granted Nov 26, 1726, at Port-Royal to Germain Doucet (grandson of Germain) to marry Françoise Comeau (granddaughter of Pierre).

Pierre DOUCET (1621) had a daughter Marguerite (born about 1680). She married Alexandre Comeau (s/o Étienne Comeau and Marie Lefebvre). This couple had a daughter Françoise (born about 1704).

Germain DOUCET (1641) had a son Bernard (born 1667). Bernard was married in 1690 to Magdeleine Corporon (d/o Jean/Jehan Corporon and Françoise Savoie) and they had a son Jean (born 1691). In 1714, Jean married Françoise Bourget (s/o Claude Bourget and Marie Couture) and they had a son Germain (1721). This Germain was a great grandson to Germain (1641).
