- Until 13 Feb 1993, I have a copy of "Les Familles BLAIS de la
- Cote-du-Sud..." by Louis-Philippe Bonneau, published in 1985 by Societe de
- Conservation du Patrimoine de St-Francois de la Riviere-du-Sud. If you have
- specific search requests relative to this family in the area along the
- South shore of the St Lawrence River near the Ile d'Orleans in Quebec,
- Canada, I would be willing to take a look. Please reply by e-mail, not by
- list posting.
-
- This useful volume contains extensive marriage listings (40+ pages) and
- limited birth and burial listings, dating from the arrival of Pierre
- BLAIS, from Hanc, Angouleme, Angoumois, France in 1664, to 1985. The
- family is extensive, and appears to be married to every line for many
- miles around, repeatedly.
-
- Pierre's first wife, Anne PERROT, was one of the "Filles du Roi," the 800
- or so poor or orphaned women recruited by Louis XIV to come to New France
- to marry the lonely pioneers. Can anybody recommend further reading on
- this group of hardy women responsible for the population explosion of
- French settlers in the century that followed?
-
- BTW, this is one of the many gems discovered while OCLC FirstSearch was
- open. Seattle Public Library was able to get a copy on ILL from the
- National Library of Canada, Ottowa.
