!CHILD-CHRISTENING-NAME: Parish of St. Romain, at La Ferte-Gaucher, Dept. of Seine-et-Marne, France. Listed on baptismal record on 8 Jan 1621 as son as Nicolas GRANDJEHAN, deceased. Mother of child Jacques BOURGEOIS was Marguerite BOURGEOIS, and child apparently was raised with mother's surname. Never married? (Reference: E. Rene PERRON, LES AMITIES ACADIENNES, issue #58 (4 qtr. 1991). !IMMIGRATION: A BOURGEOIS was known to be in the 1632 expedition of settlers arriving at Lahave on the Atlantic Coast on the eve of the Feast of the Assumption and eventually retake Port Royal from the Scots. (Rushton, The Cajuns, p. 308). Since this Nicolas was already deceased by the time of his son Jacques' baptism in 1621, would this BOURGEOIS be a relative of Jacques' mother? |
