- ! <http://www.ziplink.net/~24601/roots/sources/KINGGIRL.htm>THE KING'S DAUGHTERSThis file is a compilation of lists detailing the NAME, MARRIAGE DATE/PLACE, and HUSBAND(S) of each of the women known as the "King'sDaughters". The lists that I used as reference were originally compiled by Elmer Courteau and Joy Reisinger.These women, known in French as the "fille du roi", agreed to travel to the new settlements in North America and marry a settler there in exchange for a 50 pounddowry from theFrench King. Of the nearly 1000 women who undertook the journey,about 800 made it to Canada.They made contracts of marriage with the men who had originally settled the New World and usually married within a few days or weeks ofthe contract signing.Often the women broke the contracts, only to remake them or make new contracts withother men.What I have attempted to do here, for the convenience of those seeking a list of the women who may be their ancestors, is to give the basic information related to the marriage of each woman. I have included only the name, date and place of the contract or marriage, and the name of the husband. When only the contract is listed, I give only "DATE(cont)". My original intent was to list the parents and origin of each woman, but it was strongly suggested by Roland Roy that I limit the information to what is listed here. The other details can be found in sources such as JETTE's "Dictionnaire Genealogique desFamilles du Quebec". Given the scope ofthis (ambitious!!) project and my limited ability to type, I am more than grateful to Roland for his advice!SECTION FOURThe following is a list of "King's Daughters" from Normandy.NAME MARRIAGE DATE HUSBANDCRETEL, Elizabeth (350 Pound dowry) married 26 Oct 1671 Nicolas LANGLOIS Quebec,PQ
