Deep roots in Quebec
I found the article about the founding of Montreal [“Montréal 375,” April-May 2017] most interesting. Five of the members of “La Grande Recrue de 1653” were my direct ancestors: master carpenter Paul Benoit, wooden shoe maker Louis Guertin dit Le Sabotier, locksmith Jean Cadieux, Marin Deniau, and Julian Daubigeon. My grandson is the fourteenth generation of my family living in Quebec.
