We are not subsidized or receive any support from any source, except for the small membership fees we charge members and the donations they are kind enough to send us.
Our goals are to bring together the greatest number of descendants of ancestor René Hoûallet in a permanent association and to develop relationships between members based on respect and friendship.
Genealogy and history are important parts of our activities.
We have members in almost every Canadian province, in several US states and a few in Europe.
We have held an annual gathering since 1966 in different cities in Quebec.
Since 1968, we have published the periodical Le Hoûallet. Vol.1 No.1
