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 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 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 (further reading at The Canadian Encyclopedia).
Marie Niel was a Fille du Roi. Marie was baptized in St-Gervais Parish in Rouen (France). on June 3rd, 1652. Her parents, Robert Niel and Anne Sardine were married on August 4th, 1647 in Rouen (France). Her mother Anne Sardine had first been married to Jacques Lambert. [Baptismal record]
