map of france

Origins.

The majority of our French ancestors made the journey to Québec in the mid to late 1600's. Pierre Petel was the last out, departing Normandie prior to 1746.

They came from all over France. The date reflects the year of emigration if known. Otherwise, it is the date the individual first appears in a record in New France.
