Her parents were Martin Aucoin and Barbe Minguet and her god-parents were Arnaud Gyon and Jeanne Riou.[1]Baptism Record for Jeanne Aucoin, Parish of Sainte-Marguerite, La Rochelle, France:
According to the 1767 depositions of their descendants, Jeanne came to Acadia with her husband François, but it's unclear if that means they were already married when they came.[4]
Jeanne (16) married François Girouard (25) (born about 1621 in France) in 1647 in Acadie, Nouvelle-France.[3] Their known children were:
- Jacques Girouard (abt. 1648–1703) .
- Marie Girouard (abt. 1650–aft. 1714) .
- Marie Madeleine Girouard (abt. 1654–aft. 1714) .
- Germain Girouard (1657–bef. 1693) .
- Anne Charlotte Girouard (abt. 1660–1742)
They raised their family in Port Royal as they were found there in 1671[5]and 1678.[6].
In 1686, at Port Royal, Jeanne AUCOIN, aged 55, was living with her husband, Francois GIROUARD, aged 70. They owned 1 gun and were living on 5 arpents of cultivable land with 13 cattle, 16 sheep and 8 hogs. Their daughter and 4 grandchildren were listed in the next entry: Charlotte GIROUARD, aged 26, an adult married to Julien LORD, aged 33; children: Alexandre, aged 10, Jacques, aged 8, Pierre, aged 5, and Marie, aged 1.[7]
She was also found in the 1693 census.[8]
Jeanne Aucoin, widow of Girouer le Pere, died in Apr 1718, aged more than 90 years and was buried 18 April 1718 at Port Royal, Acadia.[9][10]
Jeanne Aucoin's passed mtDNA Haplogroup H to her children. She is the Earliest Known Ancestor (EKA) of two FTDNA testers who have taken a Full Sequence mtDNA test, both of whom are reporting Haplogroup H.

Research Notes
DNA Research
The Founding Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. Stephen White reports that Jeanne Aucoin had a Haplogroup H. Ongoing test results are also reported here. Five descendants have consistently reported H haplogroup, indicating European origins. Her sister Michelle (6 reports) also has H Haplogroup.

Jeanne Aucoin has almost the exact death date and very close birth date. No need to change her surname as we would merge into Aucoin with an explanation.
Jeanne Aucoin, widow of Girouer le Pere, passed away in Apr 1718, aged more than 90 years and was buried 18 April 1718 at Port Royal, Acadia.
Mother () Carl Raymond Ameling (Ameling-68)
Then another mother surname Fosse was removed. Looks like this profile is a mistake. We could fine an Acadian woman with same surname and given name Marie or Anne born about the same time and place and propose a merge. This one is a mistake so far as I can tell, but perhaps the PM can shed some light.
