Ancestry of Celine Dion

Celine Dion
Celine Dion


by Jean-François Loiseau
published on October 28, 2017, updated on September 6, 2023

Celine Dion was born on March 30, 1968 at Hospital Pierre-Le-Gardeur in Repentigny (Quebec), near Charlemagne where her parents, Adhemar Dion (1923-2003) and Marie Therese Tanguay (1927-2020) lived. She is the younger son of a family that already had 13 children and whose child, Denise, was born 22 years earlier in 1946. Her parents of French-Canadian origin were married on June 20, 1945 in La Tuque (Mauricie, Quebec).
On December 17, 1994, at the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal, Celine Dion married Rene Angelil, her impresario born on January 16, 1942, to a father of Syrian descent and a mother whose family was of Lebanese origin. The couple has three sons: Rene-Charles (2001) and the twins Nelson and Eddy (2010). On January 14, 2016, Rene Angelil died of cancer at home in Las Vegas.

Church Saint-Aubin de Tourouvre

The direct paternal ancestor of Celine Dion, Jean, was named "Guyon". He was a mason who spent his career in Mortagne (Perche, Orne, France) up to 1634, year of his departure to "La Nouvelle-France" in Canada.

September 18th 1592! While Henri IV tried to conquer his Kingdom, the parish of Tourouvre in Le Perche has been the scene of a modest event. On the parish registers, the priest records the baptismal certificate of a new parishioner in latin: « Johannes filius Jacobi Guyon er Maria eus uxoris… ». His father is a notable, his mother is Marie Huet.

We do not know precisely how his childhood liked like but we found his name mentioned on an act of May 18th, 1614 when he lent money to a ploughman of Autheuil.

One year later, the priest of the parish Saint-Jean de Mortagne writes on a register: "On June 12, 1615, Jehan Guyon, of the parish Tourouvre, and Mathurine Robin, of this parish, were married."

At 42 years old, ten days after the birth of his last child, Jean Guyon will yield to the proposals of Robert Giffard, doctor, cantor of the emigration to Quebec and decides to leave France to make colony in New-France.

In March 1634, Jean and his family, except for his daughter Barbe and his son-in-law who will join the rest of the family in Beauport in 1652, leaves Mortagne. Embarked in Dieppe, the Guyon family will arrive, after two months of sailing, to the mouth of the Saint-Laurent river in June 1634.

Years after years, his children and descendants gave birth to generations of Guyon, renamed Guion or Dion. They are settled in Quebec, Canada and in the United States. Adhemar Dion, father of Celine, native from Charlemagne, is a descendant of Jean Guyon, the first son of the pioneer mason.

perche-quebec.com has found more than 2000 Celine Dion's ancestors. See details here.

Celine Dion, a cousin of Madonna, Justin Bieber, Justin Trudeau, Hillary Clinton, Ryan Gosling, Angelina Jolie and Camilla, Queen of the United Kingdom…

perche-quebec.com has discovered that Celine Dion has many family ties with other celebrities in music (Madonna, Justin Bieber, Alanis Morissette), politics (Hillary Clinton, Justin Trudeau, Stephane Dion), the film industry (Xavier Dolan, Ryan Gosling, Angelina Jolie) and royalty (Camilla, Queen of the United Kingdom). All those celebrities have in common French-Canadian pioneers, and in particular Percheron pioneers.

For instance, the Percheron pioneer Zacharie Cloutier, an ancestor of most of the celebrities mentioned before, who was born in Mortagne-au-Perche.

As strange as it may seem, there is nothing exceptional about those family ties. As the Percheron pioneers were among the very first French settlers to arrive in what was then known as New France, most of North Americans with French-Canadian ancestry have Percheron blood and are more or less related.

The patrilineal and matrilineal lines of Celine dion

Patrilineal and matrilineal lines

Celine Dion's family tree has a very rare feature; the patrilineal and matrilineal ascending lineages meet respectively at the level of the 12th and 13th generations! The pioneer couple Jean Guyon and Mathurine Robin who left Perche in 1634 are at the crossroads of these two lines. It is exceptional that the same couple appears in both patrilineal and matrilineal lines.

The matrilineal line is the one of a woman and her female ancestors. It is the lineage of the mother, the mother’s mother, the mother’s mother’s mother, etc. over a certain number of generations. This line is most certainly the one which raises the fewest doubts in a family tree. If a man recognizes a child as his own at the time of the birth, it is more difficult for a woman to hide her pregnancy, even if exceptions do exist. Sometimes a grandmother declares being the mother of a child to save the family's reputation as well as her daughter's.

The patrilineal line climbs up the family tree from father to father, it is the one through which the family name is generally passed on. In the case of Celine Dion, the family name has evolved over the generations from Guyon to Dion.

notes
 [*]  Estimated year
 [1]  The place of origin is not known. To some, Jean Cote was originated from Mortagne-au-Perche but there is no documented evidence.
 [2]  Guillaume Fournier may be originated from Coulimer or Coulmer, both villages located in Orne (France). Coulimer is part of Perche but not Coulmer. The surmane Fournier is still used in Coulimer today but not in Coulmer.
 [3]  The place of origin is not certain. Jean Huard's parents are from Courson (Calvados) but in a legal document drawn up in 1665 in Lauzon, Jean Huard declares to be a native of Autheuil, in Perche.
 [4]  There is no documented evidence that Eloi Tavernier moved to Canada. According to Mrs. Montagne, he attended the wedding of his daughter Marguerite on May 1, 1644 in Quebec, but he is not mentioned in the marriage record (PRDH - Programme de recherche en démographie historique. Généalogie canadienne-française du Québec, s. d.-c).
