Alexandre C. Albert, often referred to as 'Cyriac' or 'Cyr', was born along the south shore of the Rivière St-Lawrence in Kam- ouraska, Québec. He was a son of François and Marie Anne Albert, whose families had originally settled in the Québecois region of French Canada.
Cyr was christened at the parish church in Saint-Louis-de-Kamouraska; but in the late 1780s when Cyr was a young boy of no more than seven, his parents moved about 100 miles east to 'The Madawaska Settlement', a newly established region on the Rivière St-Jean in northwestern New Brunswick.
In 1790, Cyr's father (one of Madawaska's founding colonists) obtained a land grant from the British Crown and established a farm on the south bank of the river near present-day St. David, Maine (opposite St-Basile, New Brunswick). There, Cyr grew to adulthood and in the fall of 1812, at age 32, he married one of his third cousins (eighteen-year-old Marie Anne Michaud) at the church in St-Basile.
Together, Cyr and Marie Anne had two sons; but for unknown reasons, Cyr passed away unexpectedly at age 35 — just a few days before the couple's 3rd wedding anniversary. Church records reveal that he was buried in the parish cemetery at St-Basile (the region's only cemetery at the time), that his young widow remarried in 1819, and that she and her new husband (along with Cyr's two sons) eventually moved west and settled in the parish of Ste-Luce (which later came to be called Frenchville, Maine).
