This series of Early French Canadian Pioneers  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 these 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 we’ve 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).

Barbe Lefebvre was a Fille du Roi. She was baptized on March 19th, 1634 in Rouen in St-Vincent Parish, (Seine-Maritime), France. Her father – Jacques Lefebvre – was a whole merchant, and her mother was Barbe Thieulin. Barbe died on August 19th, 1691. [for Quebec see information above]

  1. Bonjour,

    REF Le couple ancestral Pierre Lefebvre / Descoteaux | Jeanne Aunois ci-dessus.

    JEANNE AUNEAU/NOUNAU
    Selon plusieurs auteurs, le patronyme standardisé de Jeanne est :
    Auneau ou Nounau. Le patronyme Auneau est fréquent en France, contrairement à celui de Nounau.

    Son nom est écrit de toutes sortes de façons dans les actes religieux, civils et notariés que j’ai recensés : Nounau, Auneau, Aunos, Honos, Hono, Anau, Einau, Anneau, Nau, Aunois.

    “Signature ADNmt/mtDNA Signature supposée par convergence/presumed by convergence (lignée par les femmes/by female descendance only) :
    Haplogroupe/Haplogroup : T2b3-C151T
    Fiabilité/Reliability : 50%”

    PIERRE LEFEBVRE
    Selon un article publié en 2017 par Denise Gravel généalogiste, sa mère ne serait pas Jeanne Cutiloup. Pierre Lefebvre serait plutôt né vers 1616 à Sceaux (France) du mariage avant 1609 de Louise Olivier et Pierre Lefebvre l’aîné.

    L’autre hypothèse qu’elle avait évaluée, mais éliminée, est qu’il serait né à Sceaux (France) en 1622 du mariage en 1617 de Pierre Lefebvre le jeune et Jeanne Petitpont/Dupont.

    Pierre l’aîné et Pierre le jeune pourraient être frères selon elle.

    SURNOM
    Ma question : L’ancêtre Pierre Lefebvre a-t-il lui-même porté le surnom Descôteaux dans les archives ?

    Son fils Michel Lefebvre La Ciseray
    Son fils Ignace Lefebvre Bélisle Denoncourt
    Son fils Ange Lefebvre Descôteaux
