Index: Early French Canadian Pioneers of Quebec


notredamedesvictoires

Early French Canadian Pioneers of Quebec is a series of micro-posts listing many of the founding pioneer couples of Quebec – also known as the Habitants of Nouvelle France. It was developed in response to requests from people I assist who want to know who might be at the top of their family tree, so it’s often  published in conjunction with the Evelyn in Montreal posts. All existing posts have been updated with surname variations.
