The first settler was the Native “Para“, who was there from 1839. He had built a cabin on the shores of Petit Lac. He cleared some land and might have also been an official steward of the land. Unfortunately, nothing more is known about this individual. Read more »
Evelyn In Montreal: Mary Martha Doucet of Bathurst, N.B. (Pt.1)
Stephen Benton says:
My maternal grandmother was Mary Martha Doucet born in 1898 in Bathurst, NB. Per my mother, I know there were approx 5 children in the family. All females had the first name of Mary, and I believe they were generally addressed by their middle name. There was only one brother, Simon. I would much like to learn the name of her parents and any other info on the family. Mary Martha Doucet married in Canada and emigrated to USA in 1925. I am 52 y/o and live in Louisiana, USA.

History Of Kahnawake | Links To Biographical Info | Pt I (A-C)
This is Part I (A-C) of what will be a regularly-updated collection of links to online information about individuals who have lived in, passed through or been in some way connected to the history of Kahnawake.
If you are a newcomer to historical research, please remember that, as Winston Churchill once said: “history is written by the victors”. Much of the information in these links is derived from 19th century documents which were written from a European Christian perspective. The original recounts, in particular, are frequently patronizing and at times racist, so while they hold much of value they should be read with a critical mind!

Evelyn In Montreal: Nicolas Lajeunesse m. Marguerite Barbier
Hello,
After years of looking I have finally traced back to Nicolas LaJeunesse and Marie Loiselle as my grandparents. Could you tell me anything more about them?
Thank you,
Cindy McVoy
Information
According to researcher Anne-Isabelle Martin (Fichier Origine) Nicolas Lajeunesse was the son of Nicolas (aka Michel) and Marguerite Barbier whose marriage had been recorded in Courtesoulet-et-Gatey (Haute-Saone) France. Like so many of Quebec’s earliest settlers, Lajeunesse had started out as a soldier in the LaSarre regiment (Boschatel Company).
Lajeunesse married Marie Loiselle on February 14th, 1763 in Ste-Rose (Ile-Jesus) Quebec. He died on December 1st, 1784 in St-Eustache, Quebec.
Evelyn in Montreal: Francois Blondeau m. Nicole Rolland des Pelleteaux
I am trying to find anything on Francois Blondeau (1642?-1702)and his wife Nicole Rolland in Quebec. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Melissa Harvey
Information
Francois Blondeau was born about 1630 in Saumur (Notre-Dame-de-Nantilly) (Maine-et-Loire), France, to Daniel Blondeau and Francoise Duvau.
He was an early Quebec settler (defricheur) and his first appearance in Quebec records was in 1651.
On February 8th, 1655 he married Nicole Rolland Des Pelleteaux in Notre-Dame parish in Quebec.
There are records in France for two brothers – Philippe who was baptised on May 1st, 1632 and Daniel who was baptised on August 9th, 1629.
Francois died (or was buried) on April 4th, 1702 in Charlesbourg, Quebec.
