Albums Founding Families of Ile d Orleans (6)
Île d'Orléans, nestled in the Saint Lawrence River near Quebec City, is an island steeped in history and cultural importance. Before European arrival, the indigenous Huron named it Minigo, or "enchanted island." French explorer Jacques Cartier was the first European to visit in 1535, originally naming it Île de Bascuz for its abundance of wild grapes. It was later renamed Île d'Orléans, honoring the Duke of Orléans, the second son of King Francis I of France.
As one of the earliest areas in New France to undergo colonization, the Île d'Orléans Seigneury was established in 1636. This seigneury system allowed a seigneur (lord) to distribute land to settlers, known as habitants, who farmed and paid dues. The island's fertile soil and strategic position made it a crucial site for the French. By the 17th century, it had a growing French population and significant livestock.
Several parishes, including Sainte-Famille, Saint-Pierre, Saint-François, and Saint-Jean, were established, with records dating back to 1678. The 18th century saw Île d'Orléans become a strategic point for British operations against Quebec City during the Seven Years' War.

Antoine was a farmer who arrived in the colony of New France (Canada) from the Artois area of France about 1664 or 1665 (although, technically, it was the Spanish Netherlands at that time). He established a farm on Ile d'Orleans, an island in the St. Lawrence River east of Quebec City, Canada. Over time, Antoine's sons and their sons migrated from there south to Montreal and Michigan and east to Maine and down the New England coast of the United States.
Barbe Ménard was a fil du rois, or 'Daughter of the King'. About 700 of these young ladies were given a dowry by King Louis XIV to induce them to emigrate to the colony of New France. In 1669, 16 year-old Barbe arrived in Quebec with a group of fil du rois and shortly thereafter married Antoine. Barbe was from a Hugenot family (protestant followers of John Calvin) in New Rochelle, France. She and Antoine had seven children before she died giving birth to twins in 1685.
The photograph attached to the first message in this thread is of the Ile d'Orleans St. Famille parish registry for the year 1669. It shows the record of Antoine's and Barbe's marriage along with the names of their parents and the names of the witnesses.
I have a transcription of the entry in French, which I do not read. I can make out the essential phrases, but if there is someone out there willing to do a translation, I'll provide the transcription and we can all share the results.
For those of you who haven't connected your Vermette roots with Antoine and Barbe, post your "brick walls" here in this forum. If everyone combines their information, we can all make the connections and correct any errors in our information.
As in all things genealogical, those with different information are encouraged to speak up! One of the reasons I've posted this information is to get some life back into this board!
