Welcome new found cousine nothing new remember we will often disagree with what others say about us. **** This is my almost standard disclaimer when I share articles **** From: Michele Moffat Hi Paul, I am aware of the Filles du Roi and that I have some ancestry originating there. However, I understood that these daughters of the king were from very humble beginnings and were offered new lives by going abroad to help in establishing the new world. Does this information match with what you know? ========================== Most French Canadians are Descended from 800 Women Known as the Filles du Roi If you have French-Canadian ancestry, you probably have one, two, or perhaps a dozen filles du roi in your family tree. Several of them even have proven lines of descent from Charlemagne and a number of other royal families from throughout Europe. If you are descended from one of the Charlemagne descendants, that obviously makes you a descendant of Charlemagne and other royal families as well https://blog.eogn.com/2017/07/26/most-french-canadians-are-descended-from-800-women-known-as-the-filles-du-roi/ Warm thanks, Michele Moffat
