His Ontario roots

Ryan Thomas Gosling was born on November 12, 1980 in London, Ontario. Although brought up in a Mormon and English-speaking family in Cornwall, handsome Ken has multiple French-speaking origins on both his maternal and paternal side. In fact, she has a Franco-Ontarian grandmother and three great-grandmothers.

His father, Thomas Ray Gosling, a traveling salesman, was the grandson of Mary Yvette Brown (1926–1997) and Mary Ann Bellaire (1907–1988) and Joseph Brown (1903–?), a Franco-Ontarian. Glengarry, located east of Ottawa near the Quebec border, is a French-speaking stronghold where the majority still speak the Belaires language of America.

In Ontario from the middle of the nineteenth month^e Century, Belaires, says Robito, came from Vaudreuil. Ancestor, Andre Robito (1640-1678), was from Burgos, Spain.

Spanning the four corners of the continent, Robidou has an impressive history. Joseph (1783-1868) founded St. Joseph in Missouri and named the famous Roche-John (Yellowstone) Park in Wyoming. His brother Antoine (1794-1860), born in St. Louis, was Santa Fe’s first mayor; He spoke French, English and Spanish. and his other brother Louis (1796-1868) founded Rubidoux and Riverside, California. Robidoux: Along with the Trudos and Theroux, one of the great families of immigrants we’ll talk about one day.

Joseph Brown was the son of Rosalie Proulx (1864–1930), whose grandparents—Jean-Jacques Robinson and Marie Trottier of Saint-Andre d’Argenteuil Parish—were blacks. An amazing story has long passed under the magnifying glass of many heirs.

Ryan’s mother

Ryan’s mother, Donna Wilson, had two French-speaking grandmothers: Victoria Dextrose (1899–1986) and Rose-Emma Lalonde (1901–1990).

Victoria was the eldest of a family of 16 children from Saint-Anisette, the daughter of Joseph Dextras (1868–1961) and Élisabeth Quenneville (1871–1959). The couple rest in peace at La Nativity Cemetery in Cornwall.

The ancestor, Pierre Destrochus, known as Beziers (1732-1800), was a grenadier in the Béarn regiment during the Seven Years’ War. He is from Béziers in the south of France. From Destroches, the name changed over generations to Dextros.

Rose-Emma Lalonde (1901–1990) was the daughter of Alexandre Lalonde (1863–1931) and Catherine Harriet Piché (1877–1962) and the granddaughter of Alexandre Édouard Lalonde. In 1817.

For more than two centuries, Ryan Gosling’s family has deep roots in French-speaking Ontario, bordering Quebec.
