Is there a list of known medieval connections to early New France (Quebec)
settlers? If so, would you be so kind as to share it, or let me know
where it is?
Cheers,

Jean Vincent d'Abbadie, baron de St.Castin
Charles de St.Etienne de Latour (gov.Acadie)
Jeanne de Roeux et Corcelles Motin (wife of Latour and Charles de Menou
d'Aulnay)
Louis d'Amours (de Louviere)
Gabriel Rousseau de Villejoin
Louis de Gannes, sgr. de Falaise
Michel Le Neuf
Marie Marg. Le Gardeur (wife of Jacques Le Neuf)
There are a couple of others that Denis Beauregard is working, presently.
The following have known ancestors, but decsendants are not known by me:
Charles de Menou d'Aulnay (gov.Acadie)
Charles de Biencourt (gov.Acadie)
le Sieur de Monts
A leading authority on this topic was the recently deceased Rene Jette of the
U.de Montreal. His works include:
Traite de Genealogie
Dictionnaire Genealogique des familles du Quebec des origines a 1730.
Many on topic articles.
Good luck,
Mike Talbot
PS: Also search the SGM archives, this topic has been discussed a couple of
times.
I am happy that Mr. Mike Talbot answered for the Nouvelle-France part of
your question.
Now...for my part I could suggest (if you have not already done it) you have
a look at the book ¨de la Nouvelle-Angleterre a la Nouvelle-France¨ de
Marcel Fournier published by la Societe genealogique Canadienne Francaise
1992. In this book you will have a knowned list of captives (Deerfield, York
village, Saco, Corlear, Haverhill, etc...) taken to the Montreal area (for
the most part) and from which some of them remained and some got married to
French Canadian. So they are becoming part of our ancestors. What that will
do to answer your question is that some of them have knowned ancestry that
seems to have gatheways to nobility. In my own genealogy I can talk about
Jacques Roy married to Marguerite French (French-Catlin), Jacques Denoyon
married to Abiguail Stebbens (Stebbens-Alexander), Pierre De Lestage married
to Marie-Josette Sayward (Sayward-Rishworth). There are some gatheways for
those peoples on the Internet...I am still searching to see proof or
validity of those gatheways...
It could be looking very strange to look on the English side (for the French
Canadian descendants) to have more chances to get to Charlemagne or Edward I
or Edward III or John of Gaunt or Louis IX...
These are suggestions from an amateur...in genealogy

Thank you for your kind msg. I'll find that article!

Kevan,
In addition to the French Canadians already mentioned, the ancestry of
following gateway ancestors can be traced to the medieval period and
to royalty & nobility: 1. Catherine Baillon, wife of Jacques Miville.
See the book "Table d`ascendance de Catherine Baillon" by Rene Jette,
John P. DuLong, Roland-Yves Gagne, Gail F. Moreau & Joseph A. Dube,
published by SGCF (www.sgcf.com) 2. Marie Martin, wife of Christophe
Fevrier, see Qui était Jehan de Monteth, écuyer, seigneur
d'Argentenay, ancêtre des d'Ailleboust? (Roland-Yves Gagné), Memoires,
SGCF, vol. 51, #1 (#223)& Ascendance de Claude Aubelin, ancêtre des
d'Ailleboust (Roland-Yves Gagné), Memoires,SGCF, vol. 51, #3 (#225).
Articles about additional ancestors who can be traced to the medieval
period are likely to be found in one of the following periodicals
which specialize in French Canadians: Memoires (SGCF); The following
publications are in English: Michgan's Habitant Heritage (French
Canadian Heritage Society of Michigan; www.fchsm.habitant.org). They
published an English Translation of the ancestry of the LaNeuf
Brothers by John P. DuLong (10/02; 1/03 & 4/03); The American-Canadian
Genealogist (The American-Canadian Genealogy Society of New Hampshire;
www.acgs.org); "Je Me Souviens" (American-French Genealogical Society;
www.afgs.org).
The publications of these groups are indexed in PERSI. The journals
are available in many large public libraries as well as in areas with
a heavy concentration of French Canadians, such as the New England
States, Michigan & Wisconsin. Reprints are also available from the
Societies.
Since French Canadians are just as susceptible to faulty genealogy as
those discussed about American gateway ancestors, you should consult
one of the two main resources for tracing your French Canadian
ancestors prior to 1800: 1."Dictionnaire genealogique des families du
Quebec" by Rene Jette. This covers the period up to 1730. Although
written in French it is very easy to use because it uses standard
abbreviations: birth = n; baptism = b; marriage = m & burial = s. The
book also publishes the known ancestors of the immigrant ancestors at
the time of publication (1983). Biographical information can be
translated with the help of a pocket dictionary or AltaVista's
translation software (http://babelfish.altavista.com/translate.dyn).
2. PRDH (http://www.genealogy.umontreal.ca/en/main.htm), a very
reasonable subscription service which covers the period to 1799. The
minimum subscription costs $13.65 (at today's exchange rate) for 150
records or about 9.1 cents per record. The rate decreases
substantially with subscriptions for more records or hits.
In addition, the marriage records of many Quebec parishes and Ontario
parishes (with a heavy concentration of French Canadians) have been
published and/or filmed by the LDS. The microfilms are available from
FHC. Records are in French.
Hope this helps,

The best list of nobles in New France would be found in:
Gadoury, Lorraine. La Noblesse de Nouvelle-France: families et alliances.
Ville La Salle, QC: Éditions Hurtubise HMH ltée., 1991.
This book is a historical demographic study of French nobles in Canada.
The extensive lists and bibliographies (pp. 161-208) she offers are the best
places to start to see if you have a French Canadian ancestor who was noble
and to check if there is anything published on the family. Be warned that
she does miss some nobles. For example, she does not list Catherine
Baillon.
You can learn more about these nobles by looking them up in the Dictionary
of Canadian Biography at http://www.biographi.ca/EN/index.html.
Keep in mind that many of these nobles were recently ennobled members of the
nobility of the robe. You only have to go back on or two generations to
find their bourgeois origins. Nevertheless, a few of them will have
pedigrees that extend back to the French nobility of the sword of the Middle
Ages.
As was pointed out in a previous posting, René Jetté documented the Baillon
and Le Neuf lines back to Charlemagne. I am confident other lines will
eventually be documented. Perhaps Denis Beauregard would be kind enough to
repost his list of possible royal gateways. (Denis, I tried searching your
website for
this list yesterday, but could not find it.)
Be forewarned that, as with other ethnic groups, there are many claims to
ancient noble families for colonial French immigrants that just do not hold
up when critically analyzed.
For resources you can use to trace French nobles, I suggest you visit my
"Bibliography for Tracing French Noble Families" web page at
http://habitant.org/tools/noblebib.htm. There is a whole section on the
nobility of New France.
I hope this information helps.

Yves Gagne is working on more lines. I am currently gathering a
database of Frenchs in North America before 1800 and I will add to
it the nobility lines from time to time. A lot of work to do just
to find those before 1750, my first target.
An old link with some lines:

The DGFQ has a few long lines but none to a king. The editor believed
the dictionary was thick enough. But I published the lines known in
1998 in my GDO (out of stock, but the new dictionary I am working on
will include this kind of material).
To complete the list:
the Billy line was published TG91 585-591, but there is a problem
in the chronology (p. 591-592) and I think this line is wrong at
that point and another link from BILLY to VILLIERS needs to be proven.
128. Antoine de BILLY, seigneur de Mauregard, cm 21-02-1403 (PA 2 118)
129. Pernelle de VILLIERS, or Petronille, daughter of Jean de
Villiers, seigneur de Domont. I see no problem to say that this Jean
is a Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, but 1) Jean is a very common name and
2) the father of Pernelle is only called a knight while the Jean
of the link is Marechal, a more prestigious title.
Levreau de Langis in TG91
Mr Beaudin insists on his connection between the Rene Lippe family
and the princes of Lippe but he has failed thus far to provide a
usable proof.
There is a link from the Adhémar de Lantagnac and Rigaud de Vaudreuil
to a king, but not descendant here (I was contacted recently by a
French descending from a sibling of Adhemar)
I know a few more lines are close to be published by Yves but he
asked me to give no details.
Among the old stock looking possible but not proven yet: the d'Anglure
line, the Rennel line, the Rolland des Pelteaux line (where there is
a problem of usurpation), the Otis line (New England, discussed here
earlier in 2003), one Chevalier/Courcelle line (the illegitimate
son of a baron, the first name of the father is missing and 2 possible
fathers, each with over 10 generations in France), de Belleau, a
Giffard line to Jehanne de BEAUVOISIN (no idea if descendants), the
Ruette line, the Gueret, the Boileau, etc.
Unproven claims, likely closer to wishes than to truth: a Dubois line,
a Coutu line, a Lavergne line (but it is possible one of our Lavergne
has something because of one dit names).
Give me some millions and I am pretty sure we will find a lot more !

Wooh, great material! I started working my wife's lines a few month with
much success. I've been using PRDH, some microfilms (to bridge the 19th
century), and other compiled sources. Many of the lines go back to the
early 17th century, and so, the origination of my question. Very
interesting, and thanks so much for the data.
Cheers,
Kevan

Janko,
I'm descended from these three ladies, but aside from the parents of the first, their ancestry is
not known to me. Where might one be able to learn more about these?

The surnames de Jarlais and de Montigny do not appear in Gadoury's list of
nobles,
but keep in mind that her list is not all inclusive. The use of "de" does
NOT indicate
nobility. However, if you see in original records that your ancestors are
referred
to as an écuyer (esquire), then you have a very good clue that they were
perhaps
nobles.

I found this in reference T 37/17 at the Archives nationales in Paris :
1414, 20 mai. Partage entre damoiselle Perennelle de Villiers épouse
d'Antoine de Villy, et damoiselle Marguerite de Villiers épouse
d'Estienne de Villiers, lesd. Perennelle et Marguerite de Villiers sœurs
filles et héritières de messire Jean de Villiers et de Nicole d'Yvort,
des successions de leurs dits père et mère et d'Adam de Villiers leur
frère.
it is an act of division between the two daughters of Jean de Villiers
and Nicole d'Yvort. Jean de Villiers, note Jean de Villiers de
something-else, please. The families de Villiers are very complicated.
Don't add confusion. You have several families 'de Villiers' : de
Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, the most kown, may be, de Villiers le Bel, and
son on.
The father and mother of this Jean de Villiers seems to be another Jean
de Villiers and Marie de Mitry.
--
Jean-Philippe Gérard
Monsieur Gérard
Please, explain the "note Jean de Villiers de something-else, please".
The reference you quote contains no "de something-else". What are you
trying to say here, that the reference should have further clarified
this?
What I can infer from this reference is:
that Jean de Villiers and is wife Nicole d'Yvort had three children,
Adam, Perennelle and Marguerite.
That Adam died without offspring
Perennelle married Antoine de Villy
Marguerite married Estienne de Villiers, hopefully not too close a
cousin
And that their was an official division between Perennelle and
Marguerite of the properties and holdings of their father, mother and
brother.
Is this the complete reference or does it further identify the
properties to be divided and who got what?
Thanks for the information, but again please explain your comments.

Indeed. This is why I tried a few times to get a list of known
Louisianese with descendants with limited success yet.
To this ROUSSEAU de VILLEJOIN line, I can like add the REGGIO if I
ever find the connection to the Italian family from:
REGGIO (de), François Marie (Charles & .. de CANAPAN)
* m vers 1751 Arkansas ? (990404, AR)
FLEURIAU, Hélène (François & Pélagie de MORIÈRES [118606])

Alice CHAPMAN
(and there are descendants of that family)
Also, the COULON family, another with a long medieval line, has
descendant in Louisiana, but no connection to reoyalty found so far.
In Quebec, royal connection to one BELLEAU family with no descendant
(this one married to a descendant of Charlemagne) while the sibling of
the same has descendants, a few geneations back in France and when
Janko will publish it, a few more generations throught the Valpergue.
Another line with the RUETTE d'AUTEUIL (descendants include a former
Quebec premier). One line with DUPONT de CHAMBON but I don't know
descendants. The CHARTIER de LOTBINIÈRE has also some more
generations, my own BEAUREGARD then JARRET untel 1471 is likely the
second longer continuous male line in Quebec (after the BILLY).
One more long line with the CHAUBERT (descendants), the PASQUIER de
FRANCLIEU, the D'AILLEBOUST to the STEWARD from Scotland, etc. etc.

When I will have completed the Acadian part of my database, I think
I will make a list of what has been published thus far with how
many ancestors, which are proven to Charlemagne from original records,
which are proven from second sources, which can be good leads, etc.

Which DE MONTIGNY ? I found one long line of a DE MONTIGNY in a web
site, but it has no source and I feel the author of the site didn't
made the search himself. They are not the MINET dit MONTIGNY nor the
PAPINEAU de MONTIGNY, but a later line.
As for the GERLAISE or JARLAIS, this doesn't look like a noble line.

I presume you are referring here to the ancestors of Nicolas Coulon de

Pourquoi un autre ?
Jetté citant Oscar de Poli, 1894, Inventaire des titres de la maison
de Billy:
"Pernelle de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, fille de Jehan, chevalier,
seigneur de Domont.", Jetté présume: d'après le texte du contrat de
mariage que Poli aurait lu. Mais disons que c'est Villiers tout
court.
Aumont est une seigneurie des Villiers-le-Bel dont un descendant,
Pierre, fait l'acquisition de L'Isle-Adam en 1364.
Le contrat de mariage datant de 1403 (PA) ou 1404 (Poli), si Pernelle
est appelée de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, le lien de parenté n'est pas
très éloigné.
D'après PA, on aurait:
1 Jean x Marie de l'Isle
1.1a Adam x Alix de Cressy
1.1a.1a Pierre x Jeanne de Beauvais
1.1a.1b Pierre xx Marguerite de Vendome,
acquiert la seigneurie de l'Isle-Adam en 1364
1.1a.1b.1 Pierre x Jeanne de Chatillon **** lien selon TG91
1.1b Adam xx Marie de Mery (ou Jean x Marie de Mitry ?)
1.1b.1 Peronnelle de Villiers, x Charles de Montmorency, xx
Guillaume d'Harcourt
(aurions-nous ?)
1.1b.2 Jean x Nicole d'Yvort, parents de Pernelle
On perd la lignée vers la royauté puisqu'elle passe par Marguerite de
Vendôme.

I'm sorry. It was a kind of stupid joke. I was trying to say, with my
poor american, that there were many Villiers families.
In France, in the Ancien Régime, you were *seigneur* of a place, which
today does not correspond inevitably to a city. Villiers is a very
common name, a very common toponym. So you can have many families that
have took the name of *de Villiers* without relantionship between them.
To differentiate the various branches from the same relationship, the
families could associate another ground name to their name, already
resulting from a first ground.
So from the *de Villiers*, you can have *de Villiers le Sec*, *de
Villiers le Bel*, *de Villiers de L'Isle-Adam* and may be other.

Yes, it's OK, but please read Antoine de Billy, and not Antoine de
Villy, I have done a typing error.

I'm not sure to understand what yoy want to say, because of my really
poor american. You can to know if in this act of division we can found
the properties given to each of the two sisters. ?
I did not make a complete statement. Just a very summary analysis of an
act consulted with the Archives nationales in Paris for antoher
research.

Pourquoi : pourquoi un autre ?
Ce que j'ai voulu écrire, c'est que le père de Jean de Villiers (époux
de Nicole d'Yvort) s'appelle lui aussi Jean de Villiers, marié à Marie
de Mitry. C'est une formulation assez courante lorsque le fils et le
père ont le même prénom que d'écrire : Jean de Villiers, fills d'autre
Jean de Villiers.

Vraiment, il *présume* ? D'après un texte que *peut-être* Oscar de Poli
*aurait* lu ?
Cela fait beaucoup de supposition, beaucoup trop.

Pas Aumont, mais Domont, ville du Val-d'Oise (95).

*Si* est Pernelle est appelée [...]. Tout est dans ce *si*.
Néanmoins, Pernelle de Villiers est très certainement de la même
famille, car les armes sont les mêmes. Mais cette famille de Villiers
comportaient plusieurs branches, et celle qui a acquit L'Isle-Adam a pu
ajouter ce nom pour se distinguer, se démarquer des autres, à une époque
où les noms n'étaient pas fixés mais où l'on commençait à ressentir le
besoin de s'identifier. Toutefois, cette acquisition n'autorise pas à
ajouter "de L'Isle-Adam" à tous les "de Villiers" postérieurs à 1364.

Le Père Anselme et ses continuateurs donnent-ils des preuves ? La
filiation que j'indique s'appuie sur des actes conservés aux Archives
nationales, série T (séquestre révolutionnaire) et qui appartenaient
jusqu'à la Révolution aux seigneurs de Domont. Donc le Père Anselme n'y
avait pas accès, et a fait une compilation de ce qu'il pouvait
connaître.
Dans ce genre de généalogies médiévales, il convient de faire preuve de
la plus grande prudence. Si vous avez accès à la revue "Héraldique et
généalogie", je ne peux que vous conseiller de lire les réponses signées
par M. Edouard de Saint-Phalle, qui tord le cou à de nombreuses
généalogies médiévales, simplement en usant d'études récentes, et en
abordant les problèmes posément, sans faire la course aux générations.

Effectivement, la traduction ne permet pas de bien rendre
l'expression.

Je ne fais que reprendre son explication. Jetté s'est d'ailleurs
fait piéger à quelques reprises avec ses sources secondaires. C'est
pourquoi ceux de son "école" tiennent tant à vérifier les sources.
Je ne fais, pour le moment, que tenter de compiler tout ce qui s'est
écrit sur les différentes lignées, en donnant priorité à celles qui
ont des descendants sur mon continent (puisque les Français ont un
meilleur accès aux sources) et en vérifiant ce que ma méthode de
saisie m'oblige à vérifier (chaque couple doit avoir une date de
mariage ou du moins d'union).

J'avais pensé à D'Aumont mais s'il y a 2 seigneuries identifiées,
je ne peux que m'incliner.
Nous avons la revue à la SGCF (Montréal) et en plus, la Bib. Gén. a
un index des articles, quand il y a 3 générations toutefois. Mais
j'ai bien l'impression que quand j'aurai fini de tout intégrer ce que
j'ai, il me faudra relire au complet chaque numéro.
Une partie de mes informations est sous forme de texte et j'ai
1,5 m de documents sur papier, dont les photocopies que Jetté m'avait
données il y a quelques années. En plus, il y a les 10 000 pages de
recherches faites en France par Godbout en 1925-1935. Et dans tout
cela, il y a de temps en temps une lignée qui émerge, mais Godbout
(décédé en 1960), puis Jetté (décédé en 2003) ont publié ce qu'ils
avaient déjà trouvé et qui aboutissait au loin. Gagné publie au fur
et à mesure que ses dossiers sont complétés, ainsi que Dulong il me
semble. Pavsic semble avoir du matériel intéressant encore inédit.
Du côté de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, Roger Lawrence, que j'ai vu en
septembre dernier, semble aussi avoir du matériel inédit. Et de mon
côté, j'ai voulu attendre que le filon des trouvailles faites dans le
cadre du Fichier Origine s'atténue avant de publier une nouvelle
compilation de ce que tout le monde a trouvé.
