My mum's family were out in the Eastern Townships, so I don't know if they would have crossed paths.Her family are very rural.

The Filles de Roi are my favourite thing in Canadian history.I love them! I read a novel when I was little about a King's Daughter coming over and living in New France, and I've loved that era ever since I kept the book, actually. I think it would make a good movie.

According to family legend, my mum's mum's side were Huguenots who came over with Samuel de Champlain, so your husband's ancestors might have been coming over to marry my ancestors. :-D
