    The Filles du Roi, or the King's Daughters, were a group of courageous young women whose journey from France to New France (present-day Canada) between 1663 and 1673 played a pivotal role in the development of early North American society. My husband and I are honored to trace our lineage back to at least 60 of these remarkable women combined, whose enduring legacy is woven into the fabric of our family history.

    Sponsored by King Louis XIV, the Filles du Roi program was a strategic initiative to bolster the population of New France. Approximately 800 young women, primarily aged between 12 and 25, were selected for this program. Their mission was to encourage settlement and family formation in the colony, thereby promoting the growth of the French population in the New World.

    Prior to their departure, many of these women were required to obtain a letter of reference from their parish priest, affirming their character and suitability for this important undertaking. The recruitment process was concentrated in cities like Paris and Rouen, with each woman's passage and necessities funded at a cost of about 100 livres.

    Upon arrival in New France, the Filles du Roi were initially cared for by nuns. Given the significant gender imbalance in the colony, these women had a considerable degree of choice in selecting a spouse. To support their new beginnings, King Louis XIV provided dowries, usually comprising clothing and household supplies, to each woman.

    The Filles du Roi had a profound impact on the demographic landscape of Nouvelle-France. Their arrival and subsequent marriages significantly contributed to the population growth of the colony. In fact, by 1671, the number of births in Nouvelle-France had increased notably, a testament to their vital role in the expansion of the French presence in North America.

    Today, the descendants of the Filles du Roi are estimated to number in the millions across North America, a reflection of their significant and lasting influence.

    Despite facing numerous challenges, including the risks associated with the long ocean voyage and adapting to the demanding conditions of life in a new land, the Filles du Roi displayed remarkable resilience and determination. Their contribution to the establishment and growth of a French community in North America is a vital part of our history.

    This section is dedicated to celebrating the lives, challenges, and achievements of these extraordinary women. As we delve into their stories, we not only honor their memory but also recognize the profound impact they have had on our family and the broader narrative of New France.
