    New France, or Nouvelle-France in French, was an extensive area in North America colonized by France. It began with Jacques Cartier's exploration of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence in 1534 and ended in 1763 when it was ceded to Great Britain and Spain under the Treaty of Paris. The territory stretched from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, including the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Valley.

    The most developed part of New France was Canada, divided into Québec, Trois-Rivières, and Montreal districts. The French colonization was driven by trade (notably fur), religious missions, and the ambition to expand France's influence. The French Crown significantly shaped New France's development, particularly in 1663 when King Louis XIV integrated it into the royal domain and established the French West India Company.

    New France operated under the seigneurial system, where settlers farmed land granted by a seigneur and paid dues. Despite its vast territory, New France's population was sparse compared to English colonies, partly due to limited economic reasons for French peasants to emigrate and the French Crown's focus on other colonies.

    Culturally, New France was predominantly French-speaking and Catholic, maintaining its civil code and religious practices even after British conquest. This heritage strongly influenced the culture of Quebec, blending European traditions with North American elements and emphasizing the preservation of the French language and identity.

    There were 17 families settled in Quebec City from the establishment of the city by Samuel de Champlain in 1608 until his death in 1635. This era marks the formative years of New France and the foundation of French-Canadian culture. By the end of 1636 there were 47 families living in the colony. We can trace our ancestry directly to 10 of the original 17 (58%) families and a total of 18 of the 47 (38%).

  • Notes 

    • HIGHLIGHTS:

      Land they lived on is west of Monrmorency Falls, in the Villaneuve section of Beauport, along the present-day Boulevard des Chutes where the shopping mall and Caise Populaire stand.

      On July 25, 1634, Langlois married Françoise Grenier (Garnier) in what is considered the fourth French-Canadian marriage in Canada. Françoise is considered the very first Fille a Marier (single young women who emigrated to New France)

      CONNECTIONS:

      Jim has four lines of descent from Noel Langlois and his first wife, Francoise (10X GGF) , on the Vermette, Vermette/Gilbert, and Dumas branches. He is also descended from Noel and his second wife Marie Crevet on the Dumas branche.

      LIFE STORY

      Noël Langlois, a significant figure in early New France, was born around 1605 in Saint-Léonard-des-Parcs, Normandy, France, to Guillaume Langlois and Jeanne Millet. In 1634, at the invitation of Robert Giffard, seigneur of Beauport, and likely influenced by his brother-in-law Abraham Martin dit L'Écossais, Langlois embarked for New France. He arrived in Quebec on June 24, 1634.

      On July 25, 1634, Langlois married Françoise Grenier (Garnier) in what is considered the fourth French-Canadian marriage in Canada. The couple settled in Beauport, where Langlois received a land grant from Giffard in 1637. He worked as a pilot on the St. Lawrence River and as a fisherman, playing a crucial role in the colony's maritime activities.

      Noël and Françoise had ten children before her death in November 1665. On July 27, 1666, Langlois married his second wife, Marie Crevet, the widow of Robert Caron. The 1666 census listed him as a habitant in the Quebec area.

      Jim has four lines of descent from Noel Langlois and his first wife, Francoise, all on the Vermette branch. He is also descended from Noel and his second wife Marie Crevet on both the Vermette and Dumas branches.

      Throughout his life, Langlois was an active member of the community. He witnessed several important marriages, including those of Guillaume Lizot to his granddaughter Anne Pelletier in 1669, François Allard in 1671, and Damien Bérubé in 1679. His continued involvement in community events into his 70s suggests he remained vigorous well into old age.

      Noël Langlois died on July 14, 1684, in Beauport at the age of 80. He was survived by his second wife and eight of his ten children.
