CH-0116 · RESEARCH DRAFT
Filles du Roi immigrate to New France
Approximately 800 women immigrated with royal financial and administrative support to marry and establish families. Their lives and descendants are central to French-Canadian demographic and genealogical history.
Not publication-ready. A range for the immigration programme, not an individual voyage. Do not assume every woman was an orphan or conflate the programme with all Acadian family origins. Individual ships, biographies and ancestry links require archival evidence.
