Post by MTaHTI can think of the following connections in New France (mostly Acadian). If
any of these are important to you, I'll try to provide more information.
Jean Vincent d'Abbadie, baron de St.Castin

Post by MTaHTCharles de St.Etienne de Latour (gov.Acadie)

Post by MTaHTJeanne de Roeux et Corcelles Motin (wife of Latour and Charles de Menou
d'Aulnay)
Jeanne de Motin, likely connected to high nobility but I have not
yet sorted all the photocopies I inherited from Rene Jette and there
are many about that ancestry.

Post by MTaHTGabriel Rousseau de Villejoin
no known descendants
Post by MTaHTLouis de Gannes, sgr. de Falaise
to a king. I am not sure about descendants in Quebec but some
descendant contacted me long ago and his line is from Acadia
then Antillas and then New England

Post by MTaHTThere are a couple of others that Denis Beauregard is working, presently.
Yves Gagne is working on more lines. I am currently gathering a
database of Frenchs in North America before 1800 and I will add to
it the nobility lines from time to time. A lot of work to do just
to find those before 1750, my first target.
An old link with some lines:

Post by MTaHTCharles de Menou d'Aulnay (gov.Acadie)
Charles de Biencourt (gov.Acadie)
le Sieur de Monts
indeed, no known descendant. Biencourt is a cousin (by the Salazar)
of Latour.
Post by MTaHTA leading authority on this topic was the recently deceased Rene Jette of the
Traite de Genealogie
TG91 below
Post by MTaHTDictionnaire Genealogique des familles du Quebec des origines a 1730.
The DGFQ has a few long lines but none to a king. The editor believed
the dictionary was thick enough. But I published the lines known in
1998 in my GDO (out of stock, but the new dictionary I am working on
will include this kind of material).
To complete the list:
the Billy line was published TG91 585-591, but there is a problem
in the chronology (p. 591-592) and I think this line is wrong at
that point and another link from BILLY to VILLIERS needs to be proven.
128. Antoine de BILLY, seigneur de Mauregard, cm 21-02-1403 (PA 2 118)
129. Pernelle de VILLIERS, or Petronille, daughter of Jean de
Villiers, seigneur de Domont. I see no problem to say that this Jean
is a Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, but 1) Jean is a very common name and
2) the father of Pernelle is only called a knight while the Jean
of the link is Marechal, a more prestigious title.
Levreau de Langis in TG91
Mr Beaudin insists on his connection between the Rene Lippe family
and the princes of Lippe but he has failed thus far to provide a
usable proof.
There is a link from the Adhémar de Lantagnac and Rigaud de Vaudreuil
to a king, but not descendant here (I was contacted recently by a
French descending from a sibling of Adhemar)
I know a few more lines are close to be published by Yves but he
asked me to give no details.
Among the old stock looking possible but not proven yet: the d'Anglure
line, the Rennel line, the Rolland des Pelteaux line (where there is
a problem of usurpation), the Otis line (New England, discussed here
earlier in 2003), one Chevalier/Courcelle line (the illegitimate
son of a baron, the first name of the father is missing and 2 possible
fathers, each with over 10 generations in France), de Belleau, a
Giffard line to Jehanne de BEAUVOISIN (no idea if descendants), the
Ruette line, the Gueret, the Boileau, etc.
Unproven claims, likely closer to wishes than to truth: a Dubois line,
a Coutu line, a Lavergne line (but it is possible one of our Lavergne
has something because of one dit names).
Give me some millions and I am pretty sure we will find a lot more !
