All language subtitles for Les-Filles-a-Marier-Episode-90-Anne-De-Liercourt

Hi, welcome back to Have Roots, We'll Travel.

My name is Lisa Elvin Staltari and I'm a genealogist and a passionate traveler.

With the last several years I've been focusing my attention on maybe Joach, the King's daughters

and maybe via Malite.

These are the founding grandmothers and mothers of Quebec, ultimately of Canada and even more

of North America.

Truly their influence is still felt today.

I want to make certain that you know that if you have any kind of request for a particular

shea malite, a marriageable girl or everything Joach, please let me know.

Email me at Lisa at Have Roots Will Travel.com and I'll put her on my list.

Speaking of lists, we also have those Christmas lists coming out.

So it is not too early to email me and see what we can do together for a special gift

that you would like to do for someone you love.

So let me know if I can be of any assistance and we can figure out what we can do together.

Please also know that there are three ways that you can really have the channel.

One is subscribe, like and notify.

That really, really helps and I thank you to all of my subscribers because we're at

1800 and some.

As I record this now, I'm hoping to get to 2000 very shortly.

And then we also have ways to help the channel grow.

We have Coffee which is kind of like an external platform where if you want to purchase $5

or $1 or that sort of thing, it is a one time payment.

And then you also have Patreon which is a monthly commitment which also gets you other

you know either kind of phone time with me or that sort of thing.

I think the levels are 110 and 25.

And then we also have my PayPal button that's right on my website where you can also look

that up.

And if you're interested in purchasing this video, look on my website.

There is a spot in the shop area where it'll give you more information.

With that being said, let's get started and find out about Latia Matthew of this episode.

Let us talk a little bit about the Feomatiki.

These girls, about 262 of them, come before Nishi Joai.

I always like to make sure that you are aware of this.

Most of you who have followed my program and my episodes know this but I just want to make

sure.

So between 1634 to 1662 but 28 years, we have about 262 girls that would come to New France

and help populate the country.

It averages out to about 10 a year.

Obviously that's not enough to create a country.

And that is why Jean Thano and the King eventually took it over in 1663 and said, we got to speed

things up a bit.

And so but however, Lefia and Nai are to be truly treasured because of the fact that they

came when there really wasn't a country.

It came without any kind of dowry or gifts from the King or anything.

Yes, their passages were usually paid.

Today's episode is number 90 in Lefia.

Now, we are going to get to know Anne Antoinette Nellierco.

And she comes to us for a viewer request.

I can't wait to get to know Anne Antoinette a little bit better.

So Anne was born in 1632 in Beauvette, France.

And her parents were Finney de Leocour and Jean Patain.

Now she comes to us from the region of France known as Ulde France, which literally means

the top of France.

And inside of that, we have the county or de Pertima of Waz.

Now it is about 47 miles from Paris, so that has that influence.

You're about 128,000 people that live there.

So it's those small, you know, little commune.

But there was known to the Romans by the Gallo Roman name of Cezanne Magus, which is basically

known.

Magus is common for feel.

So it's almost like it was known as the field of Caesar.

It became a county in the ninth century.

At the coronation of kings, the bishop of Beauvette wore the royal mantle and went with

the bishop of L'Algé, to raise the king from his throne to present him to the people.

So this is a rich and resplendent history she comes from, very, very regal.

You can see, you can feel it in the history of this town.

Based upon her marriage date, we believe she came to New France in 1650.

That is all we know.

We don't know the circumstances.

So let's have a look at the husband that she selected.

The groom that she selected was Bles-Rieux, the avenue born in 1611, in Avenue of France.

His parents, Rieux, and Gabrielle, Berbeldin.

Now he is from a very interesting place called Pravants Alp-Cote-Dezur, and he comes from

the de Paterma of Vauclaire.

There are about 90,000 people that live in Avignon.

What is Avignon famous for?

That famous Avignon for a chournebron de Avignon.

In 1309 and 1377, during the Avignon papapécé, seven successive popes resided in Avignon.

And in 1348, Pope Clement VI bought the town from Joanna of Naples.

Papal control persisted until the French Revolution in 1791, when it became officially part of

France.

The city is now the capital of the Vauclaire, Vauclaire de Berbeldin, and one of the few

French cities to have preserved in city walls.

This is also why Avignon is known as Lesite de Berbe, the city state of Popes.

The Church of St. Agrico, which presumably Bles was baptized in, dates from the 13th

century.

Extraordinary, extraordinary place to come from.

Now Bles was truly an innovator.

He enlisted to go to Canada in 1644, and he was to be paid 75 pounds for three years

per every year for his contract of three years.

So he had time to get ready for his eventual bride.

They were married February 2nd, 1651 at 12.

Now remember I said we were able to ascertain when she would have come to new France based

on her marriage date.

Obviously, she could not come during the winter because of the ice.

So that is why most of the time she would have come or any bride that was married in

January, February would have come the preceding year.

It is always wonderful to be able to access this incredible marriage contract and see

it all listed.

It is a very old document, so I was very happy that it did exist.

Now they would settle at Montreal.

Let's talk a little bit about this wonderful city that would become Montreal, but started

off as Villa Mary by the founder, Balda Chame des Sainses de Misoner, and was essentially

a visionary center that was founded in May of 1642.

The colony would not thrive and it was on the verge of extinction when Chame des Sainses

decided to return to France to recruit 100 settlers that would be known as Le Gris.

From this small group would evolve the Notre Dame Congenancio from Sister Macquarie Boulswa.

When Montreal was founded the new colonists were rapidly confronted by a fearsome enemy,

the Iroquois.

Unfortunately, there was no regular army on Montreal's soil until 1665 when the famous

Keckenya Sandyaya Regiments arrived.

But in the meantime, local militias capable of resisting Iroquois attacks were set up.

On January 27, 1663 Chame des Sainses de Misoner have created the militia of the Saint

Fermi to protect Vémérie and its inhabitants.

It was made up of 139 voluntary colonists divided into 20 squads.

They really had to fight so hard to make sure.

Remember that Montreal is this island and the people at Keckenya and Wollydinha really

thought of it as just a fool's gold folly and just absolutely what were they doing on

this island.

It was almost impossible to protect.

The Indians could comment any place.

They were completely vulnerable.

But the ultimate, you know, obviously we now know that the fact that it is an island and

the fact that it has all of that water meant that you could get to it so easily.

So that is what made it.

The thing that almost destroyed it ultimately became its greatest asset.

And so you can see how beautiful Montreal being from this region.

I'm not from Montreal, I'm from a small little town just outside Montreal, Drummond d'Ilkavac.

And every time I would go into Montreal, which I did frequently and I live there at some

points in my life.

So it really is just a remarkable, remarkable city.

And that is the viewer Montreal.

There's an old Montreal that you can go and visit that is basically the same as when it

was in the 1600s, a very old town, not quite as old as Quebec City, but you know, definitely

has its moments.

It's been around since 1640s.

And so many of the buildings, many of the landmarks are truly a testament to not only

Montreal, but also of Quebec.

They would go on to have four children.

Marie would marry a home and would have eight children, seven of whom made it to adulthood.

Marie would marry Pierre Liqueur, and would have eight children, all of whom made it.

A child would marry Catherine Saint-Alle, and would have eight children, all of whom

made it to adulthood.

Marie married Catherine Selle and had four children, all of whom made it to adulthood.

Catherine's mother was Bal Poisson, a fiancé of Marie-Marie, who we have not yet profiled.

This was a compatriot of the very famous Dolal des Ojmou.

And unfortunately, while escaping the Iroquois in 1660 on a mission, he was drowned at

Bay St. Paul.

And he was buried the next day at Montreal.

And obviously, this was part in the spring of 1660 dollar Lenin expedition of the Ottawa

River to wage war on the Iroquois.

And he was accompanied by 17 Frenchmen.

And he arrived at the foot of Lauson, where it's near the present day, Carignon, on May

1st, and settled his troops at an abandoned Algonquin fort.

He was then joined by 40, Euron, and four Algonquin allies, vastly outnumbered by the Iroquois,

Dalard, and his companions died at the Battle of Lauson, somewhere between May 9 and May

12.

He exact made for a purpose of Dalard's 1660 expedition is uncertain.

However, most historians agree that Dalard set out to conduct a small war and put that

against the Iroquois in order to delay or prevent altogether their imminent attack on

the Villemérie.

For these reasons, Dalard is regarded as one of the saviors of Montreal and of New France.

And obviously, Blas did not participate in the Battle of Lauson, but he was part of

that expedition, if you will.

He just died earlier.

As you can imagine, Anna Antoinette would have to find a husband fairly quickly, based

upon the fact she had four children and was now a widow.

And the new groom that would come into her life, his name is Bicapika de Leffolten,

and he was born in 1627 in Saint-Collema, Yupon James, his parents were Gebagaine Pika

and Michel Claville.

He comes to us from the Ville de La Luard region, and he is also from La Vande de Paterma.

Now this particular place is obviously a very, very historic place, and it actually has

Irish roots.

In 543, it was settled, and it was just, I went down a rabbit hole and tried to find

out all about this.

But obviously I had to stop.

We need to discover Quebec, not all of these little places.

But like I said, if this is your guy, you absolutely would need to, there is a lot to

discover about Saint-Collema.

And it definitely is a place to explore, shall we say.

Remember I talked when I was describing Montreal, and how Pierre de Chumontin had to go and

recruit 100 people to come and try to save?

Well guess who was on that boat?

Oohs, Bicapika de Leffolten was absolutely there, and he is on the monument for all of

those absolute founders, if you will.

I mean, they are actually the saviors of Montreal.

So he was on that boat.

It's just amazing.

So what makes this story so interesting, at least for me, is the fact that yes, Oohs

did come, he was part of the La Vande, but he actually at the end of his contract went

back to France.

And history would have been different for this family if he had not returned.

But he returned in 1659 to work with the Subbissians, the missionaries and the priests,

if you will.

And he had a lot of skills, he was a plowman, a long lawyer, and a carpenter.

So he had those skills.

So he would come back in 1659, just in time, to be there.

He wasn't married, and he was there when Anne Antoinette was so left, a widow.

So they were married June 30, 1660, about a month and a half after Blise was drowned.

Now let's have a look at the blended family, okay?

So we have Oohs and Anne 48.

And it actually says in there, and then we have Menes Rie, Charles Rie, Louise Rie,

Mises Rie, and then we have Anne Pica, so they have begun a new family.

In 1667 we have Oohs and Anne Antoinette, and by then, but she's still missing us,

and it's cool.

And now we do not know, we do not know whose family it is, it's truly blended.

So we have Mehi, we have Shao, we have Louis, we have Michelle thinking about it,

and then we have, but they spelled it like a feminine, but really it's Michelle.

And then Anne, who was in that 1666 census, and then we've got Magnaudin, 15 months.

They actually have a domestic servant, Jean, who's 25 years old.

They have nine beasts or cattle, and they own 30, which is about 26 acres of land.

Truly remarkable.

Remember I talked about that militia that they formed?

Well, guess who was there?

Oohs was there to defend the city, he was part of the 12th squadron of the island,

St. Fanny, militia, just a remarkable gentleman.

They would go on to have five children.

We have Michelle who married Maxieur Jardin, we have 10 children,

all of whom survived, nine of whom left descendants.

We have Marianne who married Shao Teo, and we have eight children, all of whom survived.

Magaudin married Jean Perrie, and we have 10 children, all of whom survived.

Jacques Adrian married Mary-Madeline Rape, and we have 10 children, all of whom survived.

Jacques married Marianne Lefybe and we have 11 children, all of whom survived.

In the 1681 census we have Uzpika, Altoinetz, and then we have Nagaud,

Jean, Jean, Louis Rie, domestic.

So his stepson is not acting as a servant, so that's kind of interesting.

22 years of age, they have one gun,

they have nine vedakam, which are nine goats or horned animals,

and then they still have 30 aclaala, so it's about 26 the Blanche.

Just remarkable, remarkable couple, just amazing.

Anna Twinnett would pass away in September of 1709 at the age of 75.

She and Uz were married 47 years at her passing.

Now hold on to your hats, she would leave us between the two marriages,

four hundred and eight descendants.

So the odds are that most of you probably have a connection to this remarkable woman,

and in fact Uz would die a few short months later in December of 1709,

just telling us how connected these two were.

You absolutely need to, if you want to explore Montreal and understand 17th century,

not only Montreal, but the future experience, because whether it was Montreal or Quebec or

Three Rivers, it was all part of their, what they were confronted with.

And this amazing book by Susan McNelly, you need to read it, and really study it.

It's one of my favorites, I actually turn to it quite often,

and kind of study it and kind of get in that groove, you know.

So please have a look at that if you want to.

Well, this is one of those episodes where afterwards I'm tired by listening to this woman,

and everything she went through, I am so inspired by this life.

And this is one of those episodes where I truly went, wow.

So any of you who claim a heritage to this lady in particular should really stand up and be

noticed because this was a woman of substance.

And to give us 458 descendants as of 1729, Lord, really amazing.

Her tenacity, her ability to keep going on, the kind of husbands that she picked as well.

I mean, these are amazing men, and these were amazing children and amazing descendants.

So thank you Anna on 20th.

We really, really are so grateful that you came to our shores.

You made such a difference in the history of Quebec and also of Montreal.

So thank you for your gift, for your sacrifice, for most of all,

gracing us with your presence on our shores.

You have made really a great impact on so many of us.

Thank you again for your inspiration.

I also want to say thank you to my patrons and supporters, all and subscribers.

All of you are amazing.

And thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Every time I receive either an email or a message or support or a Patreon or anything,

I'm just, I'm tick-o-pink.

So thank you so very, very much to all of you.

And I will see you on episode 91 of this series.

Until then, aloha.
