Genealogy of the French in North America
Quebec Royal Descends (QRD30)
This table is a list of immigrants having a king among
their
ancestors. The list is limited to people coming from
France and
who spent at least one winter in North America, or to
people who moved
(for at least one year) to one of the former French
colonies on the
North American continent. So, the list is not
limited to the
province of Quebec but to the diocese of Quebec as defined
in the
1700s. Also, if a Royal
Descend immigrant came with his/her children or sibling,
they
are included in the list.
Group with accepted lines with or without
North
American descendants (proven or looking like correct
until proven wrong)
Background colors mean:
- Green: I have descendants after 1900 in my database or
I
know descendants or I know that descendants exist
- Blue: otherwise
- White: more documents about one line
Notes:
while I tried to link all immigrants to their family page,
not all
lines are found there. Moreover, in many cases, it
is not easy to find the shorter line to royalty. I
will try to
improve this in a later release. I tried to link
each immigrant
to his/her family sheet except when he/she was married
many times or
after the database threshold (link to the the parents);
the links were
added manually. Statistics are based on the 2011
release.

Many
sites have published a part of that
genealogy. The problem is
that most of them have no source or have another
site as the
source. Moreover, one site that examined
many other sources had a
lot of chronological errors.
At this time, it is not possible to know who was
the first to assembly
all those pieces together but it seems it was
based on works about the
ancestors of Honoré de Balzac.

While
the De Billy families in Quebec are
probably descending from one of the noble De Billy
families and the
line from them to a king is documented in
Père Anselme, the
links to the parents of Jean-François is
not proven. The
demonstration of René Jetté in his
traité can be
considered as meaningful as it says something like
(p. 591) "...if the
migrant Jean François de Billy is actually
the son of
François de Billy, seigneur de
Baricourt: "... si
l'immigrant français Jean François
de
Billy était bien fils de François
de Billy, seigneur de

Notes :
- The column descendants has usually 5
values.
They are
the number of marriages of descendants (excluding the
migrant) in my
database. The 5 values covers years1600-1699,
1700-1799,
1800-1899, 1900-1999 and 2000 or more.
- Statistics about the content of
my
marriages database on a separate document.
- * means I know one descendant.. In some cases,
that
line is not in my database.
- The quality of the royal line is described as follows:
- Fully documented: documentation based on original
records.
- Looks
like correct, considered as safe: documentation based
on reliable
secondary sources (like d'Hozier and Père
Anselme).
- To be tested: a part of documentation is from less
reliable sources.
- Likely: descendance of a known family with royal
descent,
but the exact line is to be found.
- Controversy: some searchers may reject that line for
the
said reason.
- Some figures decreased between 2004 and 2005. It
seems I made a mistake when counting them in 2004.
