This series of Early French Canadian Pioneer microposts is dedicated to the earliest settlers of Quebec. If you are new to the genealogy of French-speaking Canadians, please be aware that the earliest French settlers can also descend from the Acadian pioneers who originally settled in what are now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In addition, please note that any Native related links refer back to other posts citing census, marriage or other documents with indigenous or Metis individuals of that surname, however those individuals do not necessarily descend from those particular French Canadian settlers. All these posts are intended as Finding Aides – a place to find possible clues and start your own research!

Filles du Roi is the name that’s been given to about 700/800 women who emigrated from France to Quebec in the middle of the 17th century. They were called the King’s Daughters because Louis XIV (King of France) had sponsored their trips to the New World. Each Fille received her passage, a hope chest and room and board until her marriage (read further at The Canadian Encyclopedia).

Marie Raclot was a Fille du Roi. Marie’s parents were Bon Raclot and Marie Vienot. She was baptized on February 2nd, 1657 in Chaumont-de-Bassigny, France. Her father was a merchant. She died before January 26th, 1697. [Genealogical notes + primary documents – French]

    • Hello Kateri,
      Nice to hear from you again. I’ll take a look for that marriage when I get home and have access to my records – although I don’t recall this couple being in my database.
      By the way, last June we were discussing Kateri Tekakwitha and I did end up doing a little post about her this summer. Just type Kateri in the Search Box and you’ll see it.
      Talk to you later,
      Evelyn

        I like your article on her.

        • I sent you a message by email but it bounced back.
          Can you give me the name of one or two of their children with spouses so that I can work backwards?
          Thank you,
          Evelyn

          • The email should have gone thru.

            Their children were: Jacques b. 9 Feb 1795, Marie Cécile b. 1 May 1797, Marie Hypolite b. 6 Oct. 1798, Jean Baptiste 17 Aug 1800, Joseph (from whom I am descended) b. 23 Sep. 1802, Marie Archange b. 8 Oct. 1804 and François Xavier b. 27 Aug. 1807. Except for M Cécile, they were all baptized at St. Roch L’Achigan. She was baptized at L’Assomption.

            My Joseph married Charlote Trudelle/Trudel 7 Aug. 1827 at L’Assomption.

  2. Hi
    I was wondering if you could help me trace my ancestry back before my great grandfather Joseph Pierre Beaudoin b. 1859 in Montreal. My great grandmother was Pamelia Morse, from he US. I have been unable to trace any details of either of their parents.
    Many thanks for any sugestions.

    • Hi Michael,

      We share the same great grandparents.
      I have information on Parmelia’s family, but am also struggling with JP Beaudoin’s parents.
      Happy to exchange any info.

  3. Have you tried looking for that marriage in the Loiselle Marriage Index and its supplement? If not, and you are close enough to an LDS library, you can order the films from there.

    Do you know in which parish they were married?
