Description
Between the years of 1634 and 1663, a total of 262 girls and young women left behind their homeland in France, and arrived the unknown and often hostile land of New France with the hope of finding a husband, and starting a new family and a new life. They became known as the “Filles à Marier,” which translates as the “Marriageable Girls.”
The majority did indeed marry and establish families. Together with the Filles du Roi who arrived after them, they populated the struggling colony and became the foremothers of virtually everyone who has French-Canadian ancestry.
This is the first of two volumes of Filles à Marier genealogies. It includes each of the girls, their husbands, children, and grandchildren, covering surnames A-H. The remainder are in the following volume.
