Ancestor's Life Events

Fille a Marier Filles a Marier 1634-1662 "When the Company of 100 Associates began their settlement scheme, their plan of recruiting only families proved to be too costly, so instead they signed on single men; tradesman and labourers; who would be indentured for three years. However, this meant that more than 80% of the colonists were men, so even if they decided to stay at the end of their term, there was little hope of them starting a family, unless they chose a Canadian girl. But, since her family would never allow her, or her children, to leave their village; the company directors needed to avoid this from happening. So instead, they began recruiting "marriagable young girls", who would first sign a contract in France and then be given passage and a small dowry to become the wife of a Quebec settler. You might wonder why these young girls (many under 16), would risk the dangers and hardships, which by now most of France were well aware of; but believe it or not; for many it was the best option. At the time, marriages were arranged, so if the girl's family did not have the means to provide a sutable dowry, her only option was to become a nun, if she was Catholic; or marry beneath her station. In the case of the young Filles a Marier, though a marriage contract must be signed before departure, she had every right to refuse the union, once she met her husband-to-be. As a matter of fact, many of them did just that, and were provided safe passage home."

"Pierre Tremblay, ancestor to the largest french- canadian family was originally from Randonnay, in Perche Normandy. Only head of family with that name who came from France, he is the ancestor to all Tremblay families in America. The first indication that we find in this country is in the registers of the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Québec dated October 2 1657 it is his wedding ceremony. He married Ozanne Achon, daughter of Jean Achon and Hélène Renaude or Regourde of Puyravault in Aunis, France. He was 30 years old and she was 24. They were married a full 10 years after the average of their peers but became founders of the largest family of all the french-canadians. Pierre Tremblay and his spouse settled on a farm on the coast of Beaupré in the area that was later to form the parish of L'Ange Gardien. Four of his sons attained adulthood and married. They were Pierre, Michel, Jacques and Louis. All four had large families: Pierre had 15 children, Michel 14, Jacques 6 and Louis 14. Pierre, Michel and Louis settled on new lands at Baie-Saint-Paul Jacques, one of the youngest, remained on the paternal farm which he later inherited. His descendants multiplied at L'Ange Gardien, while those of his three brothers soon scattered along the north shore and in particular at Baie-Saint-Paul and the surrounding parishes. Today, the counties of Charlevoix, Saguenay, Chicoutimi, Lac-St-Jean and Roberval are literally covered with Tremblay families. Our calculations are that at the present time there are , in the province of Québec in particular and in all of America, not less than 9000 Tremblay families, more than 1500 live in Montreal. All of these add up to a total of about 54000 individuals named Tremblay. Quite a formidable progeny, nearly fantastic." Source: http:/www.leveillee.net/ancestry/histnotes.htm
