questions)
Hi Fille du Roi where girls that the King sent over to increase the
population.I was told that they where from poor families or prostituts
and sometimes orphanes they hade a contract with the king to get maried
when they arrived here.The men that where allready here to get land they
hade to get maried so they to hade a contract.That is why if there wife
died they remaried within a couple of months so they would not loos the
lands or concession it was a cold life no fealing. Rita Madaire
researching Madaire Madere >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Does anyone know anything
about these two ancestors of mine from before they left France? I know
that Jacques came over to Canada as an indentured servent. Also, I have
references to Catherine (and Jacques' first wife, also) as being a
"fille du roi". I do not know what this expression means (other than the
word-for-word translation), can anyone explain what a fille du roi is?
Jacques was born in Paris in 1646 and died in Quebec in 1713. Catherine
was born in Paris in 1653 and died in 1714/15 in Varennes, Canada. They
were married in Boucherville, Quebec.
