Genealogy of the French in North America

Author: Denis Beauregard

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 initial country.

The 2012 release includes (until 1780):

• More than 77,000 family sheets, often with all married children (the web site version has only 20,000 sheets), more than 115,000 including the married children of the next generation.
  
• More than 400 sources
• Nearly all colonial couples known from a marriage record or a marriage contract
• The families that settled in Plaisance (Placentia), Terre-Neuve (Newfoundland), Acadia, the Saint.Lawrence valley, around the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Valley and in Louisiana
• Foreign origins, sometimes on many generations, sometimes living in Medieval times
  

Format: one CD-ROM compatible with Windows, Macintosh, Linux (web browser required)
