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. |

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 Baricourt...". |

The migrant told to his children he was the natural son of Louis XV, then one child repeated that to a priest and this later to the author of the BRH article. Can't be proven without DNA testing |

A searcher pretends Ernst is the same as Philipp
II Ernst Lippe, a German prince. The problem
is this claim is based on a secret document.
Moreover, the signatures of the immigrant and the
prince are different. |

The proof of the parents of Anne Élisabeth
is not strong enough. Moreover, she is the
daughter of a noble and he is a shoemaker,
i.e. huge social difference. |

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.
