Genealogy of the French in North America

Available on a Flash Drive or Internet link with families until 1790!

For the first time, all the early families living in the old French colonies of North America are gathered in a unique database.  Here is the Genealogy of the French in North America, that of their ancestors and often their descendants who moved back to their mother land.

The 2026 release includes:

• More than 191,000 family sheets, often with all married children (the web site version has only 30,000 sheets)
• Families in the colonies from 1600 to 1650 are complete (with all children not married)
• Lineages provided (to 1875) for Y and MT DNA signatures
• More than 149,000 family sheets with the DNA signature (Y or mt) of a parent
  
• Covers the families until 1790 (the online version stops in 1721, the display is similar but without the detailed references).
  
• More than 400 sources consulted
  
• Sources are indicated accurately.  You will find not only the name of the review from which this data was taken, but also the volume number and page number.
  
• Nearly all colonial couples known from a marriage record or a marriage contract
• The families that settled in Plaisance (Placentia), Terre-Neuve (Newfoundland), Acadia, in the Saint Lawrence valley, around the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Valley and in Louisiana (this one complete to 1780)
  
• Foreign origins, sometimes on many generations, sometimes back to Medieval times
• A list of King's Daughters, soldiers of the Regiment of Carignan with genealogical data, English Captives (work in progress) and Metis founders of families, a link to their family sheet and an estimate of their descendancy.
• An estimate of the number of descendants based on 100 couples married in Quebec in 1939-1940.
• In the 2025c release, files were renamed from .htm to .html for more compatibility with Android tablets.
  

Format: one Flash Drive compatible with Windows, Macintosh, Linux (web browser required, like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge)

• Not tested on tablets or cell (iPad and iPhone have no Finder used to install)
• Tested on Android and lines are too close and table can be too large. It is best to install Firefox instead of the default HTML browser. A new version better adapted is in development.
