In my quick survey, I have found over 16 women "Filles du Roi" in our ancestry. Thank you for this video and the approach to the subject you have chosen. They are indeed our Founding Mothers.

I have 5 so far. They were brave. A dozen or twenty children and no health care.

Recently was fortunate to lay my eyes on the names of my 7th Grandmother Anne Colin and 7th Grandfather Nicolas-Vincent Boissoneau married Oct 18 1619. To find this video and and come to know them through history is quite special.

This was really nice to watch, I have 6 confirmed in my lineage so far, building family trees for so many of these women its so interesting to think they each had so many children, who then had so many children. All my ancestors came here before 1690, I was pretty shocked how French Canadian I actually am.

Excellent information. It would be nice to see more on the history of early Canada. The Carignan soldiers are also a large part of the story of the Filles du roi. Very well done and hope to see more on this topic.

Excellent video -- very well put together and clearly very well researched. What music did you use, by the way? I really liked it as well. Been doing more work on my French-Canadian line these last few days, and I quite literally just found out only minutes ago that one of my ancestors, Marie-Reine Charpentier, was one of the Filles do Roi.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I find copyright-free music on www.chosic.com/. You'll see the track names in my video around the 8:20 mark. If you have a French-Canadian branch in your family tree, you'll likely find more than one fille du roi. Good luck in your research!

@@frenchcanadiangenealogist You're most welcome! This video was very well made, and your professionalism in making it reminded me of the Canada: A People's History documentary series by CBC that I watched a great deal of back in elementary school, just a few years after the series was released. So bravo! Gah! I completely missed that. Thank you kindly for directing me to the music nonetheless! Two of my x3 great grandparents were from then-Lower Canada, and respectively married into English-speaking families in Upper Canada. Luckily, because of the outstanding excellence of the French-Canadian records (they are truly impeccable!) I have been able to get many of the lines of those sides of my family back to the 1600s and back to their original places of familial origin, most of which were interestingly from Normandy. But I'm definitely going to be keeping my eye out for more of these Filles du Roi names now. What I couldn't believe beyond anything was that I'm a many-times great nephew of both Pierre-Esprit Radisson and Pierre Boucher de Boucherville. I still can't believe it, despite the records being so clear and backed up by original sources as well -- it seems totally surreal to me even now to have those connections, through those influential figures' respective sisters! By the way, I kept looking, and I'm also a descendant of Françoise Goubille, yet another of the Filles du Roi! Whaddya know!

Apparently my great -x Grandma who was a Filles du roi cheated on my great-x gandfather with 2 other men, had her head shaved and was flogged in the town square ( i think this info come from a court document) later records show him with a woman with a different name. I hope that was the case and it wasnt more gRapey and her being victim.

There isn't a great translation for the French word "collant." It could also be translated as "tights." Obviously a 17th-century version of tights... Hope that clarifies!
