D
DANIEL, l’abbé François (1820-1908)
L’un des pionniers de la recherche héraldique
au Canada. Il est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur les grandes
familles françaises du Canada et leurs héros, et est connu en particulier pour
l’ouvrage, illustré de portraits et d’armoiries :
Nos gloires nationales; ou, Histoire des principales familles du Canada, 2 vol., Montréal, Eusèbe Senécal, imprimeur-éditeur,
1867. Il attribue des armoiries à de
nombreuses familles et, bien que souvent
cité comme source pour des armoiries ancestrales, doit être utilisé avec beaucoup
de circonspection sur le plan héraldique.

Father François Daniel was a pioneer of heraldic research in Canada. He authored many works on French Canadian families and their heroes, but is better known for Nos gloires nationales; ou, Histoire des principales familles du Canada, 2 vols., Montréal, Eusèbe Senécal, imprimeur-éditeur, 1867, which adds portraits and illustrations of arms to the history of major families. Though often quoted as a source for ancestral arms, his work is not very reliable from a heraldic point of view.
DAUMONT DE SAINT-LUSSON, Simon-François (? - post. 1677)
Le 4 juin 1671, au village de Sainte-Marie-du-Sault (région de Sault-Sainte-Marie), il préside à une imposante cérémonie de prise de possession du territoire en présence de 14 nations amérindiennes venues de cent lieues (400 kilomètres environ) à la ronde. Après avoir planté une croix sur une éminence et à côté un poteau de cèdre portant les armes royales, Daumont de Saint-Lusson prit possession du pays au son de cris retentissants et de salves de fusil. On chanta le Vexilla Regis et l’Exaudiat te Dominus, puis le père Allouez prononça une harangue exaltant la grandeur et la puissance de Sa Majesté dont on voyait les armes sur le poteau. Saint-Lusson poursuivit avec une allocution dans le même sens et conféra la protection du roi aux nations présentes. Le soir, se termina par un grand feu de joie, l’échange de présents et un Te Deum chanté pour remercier Dieu, au nom des Amérindiens, d’avoir fait d’eux « … les sujets d’un si grand, & si puissant monarque ». Cette cérémonie ressemble à la prise de possession de la Louisiane par René-Robert CAVELIER de La SALLE, le 9 avril 1682.

On 4th June 1671, at the village of sainte Marie du Sault (Sault Ste Marie region) Simon-François Daumont de Saint-Lusson presided over an impressive ceremony claiming possession of the surrounding territory in the presence of 14 Amerindian nations that had come from 100 leagues around ( some 400 kilometers). After planting a cross on a hill, with beside it a cedar post bearing the royal arms, Saint-Lusson took possession of the territory in the midst of loud shouts and gun salvos. The assembly chanted the Vexilla Regis and the Exaudiat te Dominus, after which Father Allouez harangued the crowd extolling the greatness and power of His Majesty whose arms were displayed on the post. Saint-Lusson followed suit with similar words of praise for the sovereign, and extended the protection of the king to the nations attending. In the evening, there were large bonfires, exchange of gifts, and a Te Deum was sung to thank God in the name of the First Nations, “… that they were now the subjects of so great and powerful a Monarch.”

DELISLE, Georges (1922-2007)
L’intérêt de Georges Delisle pour l’héraldique s’était manifesté plusieurs années avant l’établissement de la SHC. En 1958, à titre de secrétaire de la section d’Ottawa de la Société généalogique canadienne-française, il participait au Congrès international des sciences généalogique et héraldique qui avait lieu à Bruxelles. Au cours des années 1960, il entreprenait plusieurs démarches pour documenter l’héraldique canadienne. Il collabora avec l’héraldiste Alan BEDDOE qui se rendait à Londres en novembre 1965 pour étudier la possibilité d’obtenir des transcriptions des documents héraldiques d’intérêt canadien au College of Arms en Angleterre et à la Court du roi d’armes Lord Lyon en Écosse. Avec l’aide du père René Beaudry, représentant des Archives publiques du Canada en France, il initia un projet analogue pour les documents héraldiques remontant à la Nouvelle-France. Une autre de ses initiatives a été de faire parvenir une lettre signée par l’Archiviste du Dominion à de nombreuses municipalités canadiennes pour demander des renseignements sur leur emblème. Il entreprit des démarches semblables auprès de l’Église catholique du Canada. Un étudiant qu’il avait embauché au sein des programmes d’été, entreprit de compiler les renseignements concernant les armoiries des Canadiens contenus dans les armoriaux du Royaume-Uni. En 1967, il recruta Auguste Vachon à qui il confia la garde des documents héraldiques picturaux et qui, deux ans plus tard, préparait, sous sa supervision, l’exposition L’art héraldique au Canada pour coïncider avec la réunion annuelle de la SHC. En 1973, au sein des programmes multiculturels du gouvernement fédéral, il eut recours à Hans D. BIRK pour documenter et dessiner les armoiries de Canadiens d’origine européenne autre que la France et la Grande-Bretagne. Il a siégé à plusieurs reprises sur le conseil d’administration de la SHC et a milité pour la création de l’AHC. La SHC l’a reconnu comme membre fondateur et, en 1983, comme sociétaire (fellow). Après sa retraite en 1988, il a assumé la responsabilité des archives de la SHC.

George Delisle's interest for heraldry preceded the establishment of the HSC. In 1958, he attended the 4th International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences in Bruxelles, Belgium, as Secretary to the Ottawa Section of the Société généalogique canadienne-française. In the early 1960's, he took several steps to document Canadian Heraldry. He worked closely with Commander Alan B. BEDDOE who visited the College of Arms and the Court of Lord Lyon in November 1965 to investigate the possibility of obtaining transcripts of heraldic records of Canadian interest. He explored similar avenues for the period of New France with the help of Father René Beaudry, representative of the Public Archives of Canada in France. At his recommendation, letters signed by the Dominion Archivist were sent to Canadian municipalities to obtain information on their identifying emblems. A similar project was initiated with the Catholic Church of Canada. He supervised the work of a summer student hired to compile the personal arms found in the various armorials of the United Kingdom. In 1967, he hired Auguste Vachon who was given responsibility for pictorial documents with heraldic content, and two years later, guided him in preparing the display Heraldry in Canada for the annual general meeting of the HSC. In 1973, as part of the federal government's multicultural programmes, he enlisted the help of Hans D. BIRK to document and depict the arms of Canadians of European origin from countries other than Great-Britain or France. He was several times a director of the HSC and a strong supporter of the creation of a CHA. The HSC recognized him as a founding member and made him a fellow in 1983. Following his retirement in 1988, he acted as archivist of the HSC.
DICEMAN, Harold Alonzo (1916-2009)
During WW II, he served in Canada and England; held the grade of Warrant Officer 1st Class, received a CD. Was a founding member and director of the HSC, of which he was named a Fellow in 1979. He greatly favoured the creation of a Canadian Heraldic Authority.* Was appointed Vice President of the North American Vexillological Association (NAVA) ca. 1972. A calligrapher and vexillologist, he designed badges and banners from the 1950’s for the RCAF and later for the Canadian Armed Forces at the Canadian Forces Headquarters. He was art editor of Heraldry in Canada from March 1968 to Dec. 1974, in which he also published a number of articles on badges and municipal heraldry. He designed arms and flags for a number of municipalities, and also medals. He donated some of his papers to the CHA.

DOUGHTY, Sir Arthur George (1860-1936)
Born in Maidenhead, England, he immigrated to Canada in 1886. Held the post of Dominion Archivist from 1904-1935. Doughty was a scholar of impressive culture who took a keen interest in all forms of documents that could reveal facets of the Canadian experience, including heraldic material. He served as secretary to the committee appointed in 1919 to give Canada proper arms. He authored many works relating to Canadian history. One of his articles entitled “Le Drapeau de la Nouvelle-France,”* is not very convincing, but shows his continued interest in heraldic matters.
