Les Descendants de Louis Pinard is a Québec-based family association dedicated to genealogy and the history of families descended from Louis Pinard, a French-born surgeon who settled in Trois-Rivières in 1656. Founded there in 1979, the association connects descendants bearing the surnames Pinard, Beauchemin, Fleurent, Florent, Lauzier, Lauzière, and Raîche. Its work preserves and shares information about Pinard’s life and the first generations of his descendants, whose family history reaches back to early New France.

The association offers annual membership, which helps support its website, member community, and genealogical database. Members can access historical and genealogical resources, including the revised 2022 edition of the book Louis Pinard et ses descendants. The organization also publishes La Pinardière, a bulletin issued two to four times a year, and provides a portal for sharing research, publications, and family history. Through its resources and community, the association supports people researching their ancestry and celebrates the connections among Louis Pinard’s descendants.
