Name	Barbe MENARD
Born	1653	La Rochelle, Aunis, France [4, 5]
Gender	Female
Misc	1669	Aunis, France
	a fille du rois (Daughter of the King)
	Address: New Rochelle
	The Filles du Roi, or King's Daughters as they were later known, were some 770 women who arrived in the colony of New France (Canada) between 1663 and 1673, under the financial sponsorship of King Louis XIV of France. Most were single French women and many were orphans. Their transportation to Canada and settlement in the colony were paid for by the King. Some were given a royal gift of a dowry of 50 livres for their marriage to one of the many unmarried male colonists. These gifts are reflected in some of the marriage contracts entered into by the Filles du Roi at the time of their first marriages. Some 737 of these women married and the resultant population explosion gave rise to the success of the colony. Most of the millions of people of French Canadian descent today, both in Quebec and the rest of Canada and the USA, are descendants of one or more of these courageous women of the 17th century.

Name	Marie Menard [7]
Religion	26 Aug 1669	Montmorency, Quebec, Canada [8]
	Catholic
	Address: Saint Famille
	Barbe Menard's mother and maternal grandparents were Calvinists in New Rochelle, France. They were known as Huguenots, followers of French reformer and theologian John Calvin (1509-1564) who further reformed and spread the Protestant theology originally established by Martin Luther. Barbe's mother was baptised as a Calvinist but was married in the Catholic church. She presumably converted to the Catholic church sometime prior to her marriage. The Huguenots were persecuted for their religious beliefs from the early 1500's through the late 1700's. During the time of Barbe's childhood, New Rochelle was designated as a Huguenot refuge by the Edict of Nantes, signed by Henry IV in April, 1598. The edict ended the Wars of Religion, and allowed the Huguenots some religious freedoms. The Edict of Nantes was revoked in October 1685 by Louis XIV which resulted in new persecution of the Huguenots and the emigration of hundreds of thousands of Huguenots to other countries. At various times during the history of the Protestant church in France, Hugenots were often offered the choice of conversion to Catholicism or death.
