This is one of the lines that I haven't gotten around to researching in depth, so the information is a bit sparse. One of the good things about creating these pages is that it gives me a chance to see what areas need more attention. This line is one of them. My 6th great-grandparents begin this line; they are Antoine Noel and Agnes Goulet.
Antoine GOULET - Marie Anne LABERGE My 7th great-grandparents
Antoine Goulet was born 30 August 1711 in L'Ange-Gardien, Quebec to Joseph GOULET and Anne JULIEN.

Anne JULIEN was the daughter of Jean JULIEN and Madeleine GUÉRIN. She was presented for baptism on 26 October 1672 at L'Ange-Gardien by godparents Étienne Brin dit Lapensee and Anne Vezina.
This couple married 20 July 1682 in L'Ange-Gardien. The week before, on 13 July, Anne received her share of the value of her parents' estate from her brother Nicolas, who bought out Anne and her sister. The total price paid was 300 livres; it is assumed that each sister received 150 livres.
Of the couple's 8 children, Antoine GOULET was second youngest.

Jean JULIEN - Madeleine GUÉRIN
Guillaume LABERGE - Marie Jeanne QUENTIN
Germain GAGNON - Jeanne DAVIDMy 9th great-grandparents
Jacques GOULET was born about 1615 to Thomas GOULET and Antoinette FEILLARD. He married Jeanne MAILLIER or MULIER; the date and place for this event is unknown.
The couple had 12 children. The couple's oldest son, Nicolas (2nd in the birth order) entered into a marriage contract with fille du roi Catherine Leroux on 3 September 1670. At some time between that date and 13 October that contract was annulled; and on 13 October, Catherine entered into another contract with and subsequently married René Goulet--the brother of Nicolas!!! Family gatherings had to have been tense for awhile after that. Luckily, there seemed to be no such drama surrounding the 11th child--and our ancestor--Joseph GOULET.
Jacques Goulet was buried 26 November 1688 in L'Ange-Gardien. Jeanne Maillier's death details are not known.
Jean JULIEN was born about 1641 in Ste. Verge, Bressuire, Deux-Sevres, Poitou, France; his parents were Michel JULIEN and Perrine CONTANT. He is believed to have arrived in Canada about 1659. He made his confirmation on 20 February 1660 in Quebec City at Notre-Dame; the sacrament was administered by Monsignor de Laval. Jean was 19 years old.
Five years later, on 20 October 1665, Jean entered into a marriage contract with Madeleine GUÉRIN, a fille du roi from Vauxaillon, Picardy, France. She had been born there in 1646 or 1647 to Simon GUÉRIN and Nicole LEDUC; and had arrived in Quebec about 1665 w/a dowry of 100 livres. The wedding between Jean and Madeleine took place 10 November 1665 in Quebec City; among the guests were Pierre Martin, Jean Normand and Jean Marchand. The following spring, Jean paid 120 livres tournois to Pierre Cartel for the purchase of land at L'Ange-Gardien that was known at the time as simply "#18". This land was on the Beaupre Coast, east of the Montmorency River and included some frontage on the St. Lawrence River. Their 3 children were born here; Anne JULIEN was the baby.
On 23 June 1673, an inventory of property of "the late Jean Julien" was completed by notary Paul Vachon. No death record has been found for Jean; historians assume that this was due to a sudden death.
Madeleine went on to marry Pierre Boivin and to reside in both L'Ange-Gardien and Neuville, Quebec--indeed, the couple is listed in the 1681 census in both of those places.
Madeleine Guérin died sometime after January 1699.
L'Ange-Gardien was the site of the baptism of Guillaume LABERGE, which occured on 3 May 1674. His parents were Robert LABERGE and Françoise GAUSSE dit Le Borgne.
Guillaume married Marie Jeanne QUENTIN in his hometown on Valentine's Day 1695. Marie Jeanne was from Quebec, baptized there on 5 August 1678; her parents were Nicolas QUENTIN and Marie ROULOIS. Marie's Jeanne's surname seened to originate as QUENTIN; however, subsequent generations seem to have made a change to CANTIN.
The couple had one known child, Jacques LABERGE. Their dates of death/burial are unknown.
The son of Jean GAGNON and Marie COCHON, Germain GAGNON was baptized in Quebec City on 1 September 1653.
Jeanne DAVID was from Château-Richer, baptized there on 10 November 1669, the daughter of Jacques DAVID dit Pontife and Marie GRANDRY.
Germain and Jeanne were married in Château-Richer on 27 Jul 1688. Their only known child is Mariguerite GAGNON.
Jeanne David was buried exactly 29 years and a day after her baptism; the ceremony took place 11 November 1698 in Château-Richer. Germain Gagnon was also buried there 10 years and 12 days later on 23 November 1708.Thomas GOULET - Antoinette FEILLARD
