ANDRÉ, LOUIS. - French Jesuit, born at Saint-Rémy (Bouches-du-Rhône) in 1631; having entered the novitiate at Lyons in 1650, he was a missionary in Canada from 1669, chiefly among the Algonquins; he died at Québec on 19 Sept. 1715.
Several reports by him are extant, containing curious information and observations, for example on the tides. They were printed by Fr. F. Martin in Relations inédites de la Nouvelle-France, I, Paris 1861, pp. 103-24, 223-33; II, ibid. 1861, pp. 118-122, and reprinted by R. G. Thwaites in Jesuit Relations, LVII, Cleveland 1899, pp. 267-305, 318-19; LVIII, ibid. 1899, pp. 273-81; LX, ibid. 1900, pp. 201-205. Fr. A. also left in manuscript a dictionary of the Algonquin language, a catechism, homilies, and other works in the same language.
