Chemin des Thaddées
In the 1900s, at least four families were homesteading on chemin des Thaddées, the families of Thaddée Landry, Bill Scott, Lawrence Teed and Daniel Landry. This settlement was located inland, turning east off Falconer Road and going towards the Teed Road. These homesteads were eventually abandoned. If one knew where to look, they would find berry patches, apple trees, peonies, lilies, and perhaps evidence of a foundation etc.

The Catholic Church was officially named Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur and the parish subsequently defined the territory of the community of Notre-Dame. The settlements (or historical villages) included were MacDougall Settlement, Poirier Office, LeBlancville, Dufourville, Notre-Dame Centre, Guéguen, Hays, Alexandrina-Nor’ouest, North and South sides of the river, Whites Settlement along with Village des Pishcots, Village des Fricots, Suretteville, Teed Road and Chemin des Thaddées.
1932
A few people had electricity as early as 1932 and by 1940, service was widespread but did not reach every corner of the village. This proved to be a fatal blow to several settlements and the main reason why these areas were eventually abandoned, such as Alexandrina-Nor’ouest, Chemin des Thaddées, Village des Pishcots, Village des Fricots, and Suretteville.
