Richiboucto New Brunswick is a town situated on the Richiboucto River. It was named Richiboucto by the Migmaw Indians, it means River of Fire.
When the English settled there, they changed the name from Richiboucto to Liverpool but since there was a Liverpool in Nova Scotia, there was a confusion, so in 1832 it was changed back to Richiboucto.Now for the ones who are not familiar with this area,do not confuse Richiboucto with Richiboucto Village. Richiboucto Village was a french village not far from Richiboucto.There were many english settlers in Richiboucto and Irish, I have extracted all the births and marriages french and french canadian names from the Richiboucto St.Aloysius Catholic records from 1864-1885. I shall add the births first followed by the marriages.

RIVER OF FIRE POEM

BY; NELAH RENDRAY

AN INDIAN CHIEF OF LONG AGO
PADDLING WEARILY, PADDLING SLOW,
HAPPENED TO COME AT THE SUN OF THE DAY
TO THE MOUTH OF AN UNKNOWN WATERWAY.

HE HAD WANDERED FAR FROM HIS TEE PEE HOM;
WEEK AFTER WEEK HE HAD TRAVELLED ALONE
SEEKING THE MARVELOUS RIVER OF FIRE;
THE FABLE LAND OF HIS HEART’S DESIRE

HE HAD WANDERED OVER THE MOUNTAINS STEEP,
ROARING NIAGARA HAD LULLED HIM TO SLEEP.
HE HAD WANDERED THE FOREST, THROUGH AND THROUGH
THE WATERS ALL KNEW HIS BIRCH CANOE

THE SUN IN THE SKY OF DEEP BLAZING RED,
A MANTLE OF FLAME ON WATER SPREAD
AND NOW LIKE A MASS OF GLITTERING GOLD,
THE GLORIOUS RIVER BEFORE HIM ROLLED

THE CHIEF WAS ENRAPTURED AT WHAT HE SAY
“RIVER OF FIRE” HE MURMURED WITH AWE
“TIS RICHIBUCTO, RIVER OF FIRE,
THAT FABLED LAND OF THE HEART’S DESIRE.

SCENES CHANGE, BUT THAT GLORIOUS RIVER OF FIRE
IS STILL THE LAND OF MY HEART’S DESIRE.
