He came to Acadia with Aulnay de Chainisary aboard the "St. Jahan". This was one of the first families shown on La Rochelle Admiralty Records leaving for Acadia.

"Francois Girouard dit La Varanne of La Chaussée, near Blois, in the Orleanais region of the Loire valley in France, born in c1621, was a young laborer and farmer when he came to Acadia in c1640 with his wife Jeanne Aucoin, who was from La Rochelle. They had five children, including two sons, both born at Port-Royal, who created families of their own. Their three daughters married into the Blou, Cormier, and Lord dit Lamontagne families. (A personal note: the Cormiers of North America are descended from Thomas Cormier, who married Marie-Madeleine, third child and second daughter of Francois Girouard dit La Varanne, at Port-Royal in c1668. Genealogically, then, all Acadian Cormiers are Girouards, too.) Francois dit La Varanne died at Port-Royal in the early 1690s, in his early 70s. His wife never remarried and died at Port-Royal in April 1718, in her late 80s. "
