Hi Jim,
Jeanne LePrevost m Pierre d'Amours Seigneur du Serrin. Now this Jeanne
LePrevost, is my line that goes back to Charlemagne and beyond!
Why these bourgeois ancestors of mine came across to New France to suffer as
they did is a good question. But for a women to cross the Bay of Fundy, in a
birch canoe, with her son and an Indian. in the dead of Winter?........With
ice chunks the size of a car.....I wondered about! This was unheard of and
very brave! But after reading about the loss of her Husband to the British,
her sister dying and her sisters husband (a d'Amours) also being in prison
for 2 years and then dying, leaving her alone with all these kids to raise,
she had some mighty big anger in her! So, she set out on a mission for 10
years to get them! Pay backs are hell, so they say! I don't think she ever
had to eat a dog though? If she did .....well, I would be very angry too! :)
Thanks for all the great info and please keep searching!
