Giroire, Joffriau, Landry, Le Blanc, Morin, Poirier, Raimbaut, Savoie,
Thibodeau. Other families found in this area of France at that time
were: Blanchard, Bourg, Brault, Giroire, Godet, Guérin, and Terriot.
(Arsenault, 1965).

Paul Bunnell is the best-selling author of "French & Native North
American Marriages, 1600-1800"

Paul notes: "After finding my four Huron lines who came from Ontario,
Canada and took refuge in Quebec with the help of the Jesuit Priests
around 1640, I was compelled to record these records to help others find
their Native American connections. Persecuted by the Iroquois, the main
tribe of their Indian Nation, the Huron's were reduced from around
20,000 to 2,000 in population, nearly wiped out. Much of these native
Americans along with other tribes of the Iroquois nation, and all the
Acadian coastal tribes married into the French families that settled all
these areas including the farther west territories.“

This teleconference with discuss the status of the compilation, the
sources and the errors to watch for.

"French & Native North American Marriages, 1600-1800"
Though not a perfect and complete collection, there are many families
listed here that now have millions of descendants today. This book is in
an easy index formation with all the main surnames in alphabetical
order, but by listing both names you will have to check possibly in two
places to assure that you find all the records. There are 161 pages with
over 1000 listings, mostly marriages, others are Baptisms.

Note: It has been found that there are some errors from early
documentation and reference materials (As from Jette, Arseneault or
Tanguay). As these errors are found they will be discussed in our
teleconference series.
