Articles for the Journal
Below are selected articles on our ancestors that have been published previously in the society's journal Sent by the King. The President and Webmaster of the society chose these articles as being of general interest to individuals seeking more information about their French Canadian ancestors, the Filles du roi and soldats Carignan, in particular. They have been republished here with the author's permission.
Please return to this page periodically, as we plan to add a couple of new articles to this webpage each year or so.
