| 2 | 1634 | - 1634—1662: Before the King’s Daughters: Filles a Marier
The Filles à Marier refer to the marriageable girls who immigrated to New France between 1634 and September 1663 seeking a better life. Unlike the Filles du roi, their passage wasn't paid for by the French crown, nor did they receive the “king’s gift” when they married. Although less well known than the Filles du Roi, most people with French-Canadian ancestry have at least one of these brave women as their ancestors.
