Ancestor's Life Events

"Bertrand, son of Nicolas Chenay and Catherine Laringue, was born under the sky of Brittany, in the small village of Yffiniac, canton of Langueux, arrondissement and diocese of Saint-Brieuc, department of Cotes-du-Nord... Bertrand arrived in New France at about the age of thirty. His first official appearance was recorded in our Canadian registries in 1656." Thomas J. Laforest Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XII, Page 87

"One misfortune often feeds on another: Fire is sometimes a cruel thief. On 4 August 1682, at 9:30 in the evening, the red-hooded bandit invaded the Lower Town of Quebec. Fifty-five buildings burned and as many families were thrown onto the narrow pavement. One of the last houses to catch fire was that of Seigneur Chenay. It was used as a home, a warehouse and a tavern, all at the same time. On 16 August, the master returned to the quay of Quebec in his large boat and beheld the disaster! The whole family had to move to the old manor house at Lotinville. It was there that Jean-Baptiste was born in November. The Breton Chenay found this crushing blow too much for his sixty years to bear. He died on Wednesday, 16 January 1683, at the home of surgeon Jean de Mosny, in the Lower Town..." Thomas J. Laforest Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume XII, Pages 94-95
