Noel was

NOEL LANGLOIS
originating in Saint-Leonard of the Parks, or Saint-Leonard de Honfleur, in
Normandy, Noël Langlois was born on June 4 1606, son of Guillaume Langlois and
Jeanne Millette. Pilot of ship, he arrives with the first quota of colonists
recruited by Robert Giffard, to be established in Beauport, in 1634. The Lord
of Beauport, June 29 1634, concedes to him 300 arpents of ground, located on
the seigniory of Beauport, close to the Montmorency fall.
He
marries on July 25 of the same year, at the church Our-Lady of Recouvrance, in
Quebec, Francoise Garnier (Attic), of unknown origin. From their union, are born ten children. Three of his children are our direct ancestors as well as two of his sister: Francoise and Marguerite Langlois.
Their son, Jean,
our direct ancestor and carpenter of ship, takes the nickname of Boisverdun. Jean Langlois, known as Boisverdun marries in 1665, Francoise-Charlotte Belanger, born in 1650, daughter of the ancestor Francois Belanger and Marie Guyon.
