Larocque is a French language surname found primarily in Quebec, Nova Scotia (formerly Acadia), Prince Edward Island, Ontario, and the New England region of the United States. There are four main branches of the Larocque surname in North America: * Philibert Couillaud dit Roquebrune (1641–1700), from the diocese of Nevers, France, first appeared as a member of the Carignan-Salières Regiment when they landed in Quebec in 1665. He was sent primarily to defend New France from the Iroquois, and eventually settled down in Contrecoeur, Quebec. He married Catherine De La Porte in 1675 at Contrecoeur, having 11 children in all. Members of this branch often have the surnames Larocque, Larock, Rock, Roquebrune, Rocquebrune, Rockbrune or Couillaud. * Guillaume Larocque, from the diocese of Albi, France, married Jeanne Boivin in Montréal, Quebec in 1717. * Antoine Larocque, writer for King Louis XIV, was from Trie, France. He married Catherine Guillemot in 1752. * Francois Larocque, from France, married Marguerite Caplan about 1725. He is the primary ancestor of Atlantic Canadian Larocque families.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Larocque History Book )〕 Based on recent genetic testing, the Larocque of North America descendants of Philibert Couillaud, originally thought to be of French origin, have now been shown to be closely related to English and Scottish families, including the Cockburn (surname) family .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Larocque History Book )〕 ==List of persons with the surname== *Andy LaRocque (born 1962), or Anders Allhage, musician from Sweden *Aurèle LaRocque (eo) (1909–1990), Canadian-American geologist *Charles La Rocque (1809–1875), Canadian Roman Catholic priest *Denis Larocque (born 1967), professional hockey player *François Larocque (born 1975), Canadian legal academic and scholar *François-Antoine Larocque, Sr. (1753–1792), businessman and political figure in Lower Canada *François-Antoine Larocque (1784–1869), Quebec businessman *Gary LaRocque, former Minor League Baseball player and manager *Gédéon Larocque (1831–1903), physician and political figure in Quebec *Gene La Rocque (born 1918), retired rear admiral of the United States Navy *Greg LaRocque is a noted comic book illustrator for Exiled Studios *Holly Larocque, Canadian actress and theatre performer *Jacques Larocque, Canadian saxophonist, arranger, music educator, and university administrator *Jocelyne Larocque (born May 19, 1988), American women’s ice hockey player *Joey LaRocque (born 1986), American football linebacker *Joseph La Rocque (1808–1887), Canadian Roman Catholic priest, professor, and bishop *Joseph Larocque (attorney) (1831–1908), New York City lawyer and president of the New York City Bar Association *Leigh Larocque (born 1934), American Republican politician *Mario Larocque (born 1978), Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman *Michel Larocque (ice hockey), (born 1976), professional ice hockey goaltender *Michel Larocque (1952–1992), Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender *Paul LaRocque (1846–1926), Canadian Roman Catholic priest *Rod La Rocque (1898–1969), American actor *Sam LaRocque (1863–1933), former professional baseball second baseman 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Larocque」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
