Perrine was born about 1626[1] in France. Her parents are not known, though one theory is Simon Bourg and Helene Comtee. Another theory is that Antoin Bourg was her brother[2] which has been disproven.[3] Another theory is that she is Perrine Rau, and that is also disproven.[2]

Note: While Perrine's potential place of birth in France had been suggested to be Martaizé (which was near Loudun in Poitou), no corresponding source documents or citations have been identified, her parents are considered unknown, and neither White DGFA nor any other reference cited appears to identify her birth as being at Martaizé. Without further information or a source being identified, her birth is noted as being in France with the particular locality being unknown.

Around 1640, Perrine married Simon Pelletret. She gave birth to two children: Henriette (b. 1641) and Jeanne (b.1643).[1]. No additional children are documented or present in any census.

After Simon died, around 1645,[1] Perrine married René Landry (L'Aîné) in Port Royal.[1] Between 1646 and 1663 Perrine gave birth to five additional children: Marie (b.c1646), Marie (b.c1650), Madeleine (1655), Pierre (1658), and Claude (1663).[1]

Twenty six years later, they are found in Port Royal with her daughters from Simon living with the family.[4] Most of the children were gone by 1678; only the three youngest were still there.[5]

By 1686, at Port Royal, Rene had died. Perine [sic] BOURC [sic], mother, aged 74 [sic], was living with her son, Claude LANDRY, aged 24, her daughter-in-law, Marguerite TERRIOT [sic], aged 20, and her granddaughter, Marguerite [sic], aged 18 months. The family owned 1 gun and was living on 3 arpents of cultivable land with 7 cattle, 8 sheep, and 6 hogs.[6]

In 1693, at Port Royal, Perrine BOURG, aged 67, widow of Rene LANDRY, was living with her son, Claude LANDRY, aged 33, and Claude's wife, Marguerite TERIOT [sic], aged 26, and her four grandchildren: Madeleine, aged 8, Marie, aged 6, Claude, aged 3, and Marguerite, aged 1. The family owned 1 gun and was living on 32 arpents of cultivable land with 15 cattle, 15 sheep, and 6 [sic] pigs.[7]

Perrine died after the 1693 Census,[1] as she is not listed in the 1698 accounting.[8]

DNA. The Mothers of Acadia Maternal DNA project is conducting ongoing research to verify their origins. In 2010, Stephen White reported that Perrine Bourg had an H14 haplogroup. The details of how many of her descendants were tested to support this report or any updates are unknown. Ongoing test results are also reported here. As of May 2014, 9 descendants have consistently reported an H haplogroup, indicating European origins.

Debourg-1 and Bourg-20 appear to represent the same person because: Same first name, which is uncommon. Last name Debourg=Bourg

Close birth year (both are estimated) and same birthplace. Same era death year (both are estimated), same place. No subtantive edits to Debourt since it was created in 2015.

Bourg-605 and Bourg-20 do not represent the same person because: Bourg-20 has a well-documented and connected profile. Bourg-605 has no sources, and no family connections in her profile. The only information (unsourced) in Bourg-605's profile is her dates, which don't match Bourg-20. Bourg-605 is probably a duplicate Perrine Rau (Rau-71), wife of Jean Theriot.

Removed parents per previous posts, policy and this source posted on Antoine Bourg's profile: "White writes there's no evidence Antoine and Perrine are siblings. Shall I disconnect them? "Nous n'avons pas pu déterminer s'il y avait un lien de parenté entre Perrine Bourg et Antoine Bourg, ci-dessous. L'absense de dispense de consanguinité lors des marriages de Charles Savoie, petit-fils de Marie à Antoine Bourg, avec Françoise à Antoine Bourg, avec Brigette Martin, aussi petite-fille de Jeanne Pelletret, semble nous montrer que Perrine at Antoine n'étaient pas frère et soeur." (DGFA p.221)"

Translation: We could not determine if there was any family relationship between Perrine Bourg and Antoine Bourg. The absense of dispensing consanguinity in the marriages of Charles Savoie, grandson of Marie Antoine Bourg, with Françoise Antoine Bourg, with Brigette Martin, also granddaughter of Jeanne Pelletret, seems to show us that Perrine ant Antoine were not brother and sister.

Bourg-635 and Bourg-20 appear to represent the same person because: This is an founder of Acadia and has already been in the tree for quite a while. Be careful when adding names from that far back.

Perrine is my seventh Great Grandmother, also DNA confirmed. I also agree with your comment to remove Bourg-144 and Comtee-4 as her parents. the parents listed on her page are the ones connected to me; Simon Jean Courg and Helene Comtee.

Thanks,

Jeannette

Perrine Bourg is my ninth great grandmother and I also have a haplogroup of H14b1.
I am just getting back to this site (life intervened), and have very little added to my tree here at this point, but FYI I am a mitochondrial DNA descendant of Perrine (she was my pure maternal 10th grandmother) and am part of the Acadian haplogroup project at FTDNA. Perrine's haplogroup was: H14b1.

I'm removing Perrine's parents (Bourg-144 and Comtee-4) because I can't find any supporting evidence for them being her parents. I suspect that's another Acadian Genealogical Myth.
