The History behind the Family Name Carriere and Carrier
The Family Surnames Carriere and Carrier have changed over the centuries. Many people think that there is no difference between the above Surnames; however, research has shown there is a difference.
Throughout many searches, I have found a lot of information about the Surname Carrier and its relation to English descendants. However, I have found little information about the Surname Carrier and its relation to French descendants.
Some research has found that the Surname Carrier was originally a nickname and the real surnames might be BREM, BRESME, BREMEN, and BRASME before it was changed.
Thus, finding information about the difference between the Family Surnames Carriere and Carrier has proven difficult because of the changes in the surnames and or adoption of the Surnames by other ethnic groups.
I am interested in finding the difference between the two Family Surnames and I have created this webpage to help me gather more information about the Family Surname Carriere.

Your Family Name isLavictoire, Tourangeau, Carrière or Villeneuve? Chances are your Frenchancestor’s name was completely different.
I recentlyworked on a friend’s French-Canadian paternal and maternal family treebranches, constructing an ascending branch for both her parents. I built herpaternal ascending line by finding her father’s father, then his father, and soon, until I reached the first European ancestor to touch Canadian soil. Andthen I did the same thing with her mother’s father, his father, and so on.
Given that my friend’s surname was Vaillant and hermother’s surname was Hamel, one could have reasonably assumed that theancestors who came to New-France would carry both those same surnames. She wassurprised to find out that their names were in fact Raleau and Voyer. It can bestartling to discover that your name, the one you thought crossed the Atlanticwith that first ancestor, is not the same one that survives today.
