🗺️ Step into the world of early French Canadians!

I’m loving my research into the peasant life in France in 1650 and the writing of the story of a young girl named Marie Louise Rochon.

This all started when I discovered through Ancestry.com that I can trace my roots back to 1632 and my eight times Great -grandmother became a Fille en Marier, meaning A Marriagable Girl, to escape the hardships of her life in France. Her name was Marie Rochon which is my mother’s name, so my fictional character must also be named Marie Louise Rochon. The story is coming together, but I need more details to make it authentic. So I started a new Facebook group to gather other writers, genealogists, researchers, and those interested in the history of New France in that era.
