Ancestry of Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber

published on October 28, 2017, updated on September 6, 2023

Justin Bieber was born on March 1, 1994 in London, Ontario (Canada). He is the son of Jeremy Jack Bieber and Patricia "Pattie" Mallette.

Bieber's mother was 18 years old when she became pregnant. His parents were never married, but maintain a close friendship and common goals regarding their son's personal and professional life. Mallette raised her son with the help of her mother Diane Henry, and stepfather, Bruce Dale.

Bieber's paternal great-grandfather was German. Bieber's mother's ancestry is French Canadian with several ancestors whose the origin is Perche.

The examination of Justin Bieber's matrilineal ancestry leads us directly in Perche towards the pioneer Françoise Lehoux, born on July 9, 1628 in La Ventrouze (Orne, France).
The surname Bieber, which means beaver in German, is inherited from his Lorraine ancestors. Philippe Bieber, great-great-great-grandfather of Justin Bieber, was born on October 21, 1856 in Zilling, a village in the historic Lorraine region, today in the French department of Moselle.

When Philippe Bieber emigrated to Canada in the years 1873-1874, Zilling was part of the German Empire and attached to the Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen (Territory of the Alsace-Lorraine empire). This territory was ceded on May 10, 1871 by France to the German Empire in application of the Treaty of Frankfurt which put an end to the Franco-Prussian War or Franco-German War, often referred to in France as the War of 1870. Alsace-Lorraine returned to the French fold in 1919 with the Treaty of Versailles.

On November 8, 1874 in Haldimand County (Ontario), Philippe Bieber married Caroline Baer (Bier), a young woman also born in Zilling.

Great-grandfather Jack Arnold was born in Poole, Dorset, England (son of George Arnold and Kate Elizabeth Rattew).

Bieber's mother was 18 years old when she became pregnant. His parents were never married, but maintain a close friendship and common goals regarding their son's personal and professional life.

perche-quebec.com has found more than 3800 Justin Bieber's ancestors. See details here.

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

perche-quebec.com has discovered that Justin Bieber has many family ties with other celebrities in music (Madonna, Celine Dion), politics (Hillary Clinton, Justin Trudeau), the film industry (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.

Justin Bieber's matrilineal ancestry

Matrilineal ancestry

Matrilineal ancestry

Matrilineality is the tracing of kinship through the female line. A matriline is a line of descent from a female ancestor to a descendant (of either sex) in which the individuals in all intervening generations are mothers – in other words, a "mother line". It is also sometimes known as the enatic, uterine or umbilical line. This matrilineal descent pattern is in contrast to the more common pattern of patrilineal descent from which a family name is usually derived. Such a mother line is the most certain line in a family tree; indeed, if a man has to recognize a child as his own at birth, it is more difficult for a woman to hide her pregnancy, although there are existing exceptions.

The examination of Justin Bieber's matrilineal ancestry leads us directly in Perche towards the pioneer Françoise Lehoux, born on July 9, 1628 in La Ventrouze (Orne, France).

note
 [*]  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).
