Sarah Allen and Guillaume Lalonde dit L'Espérance are my 7th Great Grandparents.
Sarah Allen is my 6th GGM. My little pet peeve is that all her original documents record her French name as Marie Magdeleine (not Madeleine) Helene. Several of her children's birth documents as well as her baptism at which time the new name was formally adopted and marriage indicate the name as Magdeleine. I've posted many of these on the Geni MP for her in the media and sources tabs.

I wonder how many of us can trace our direct line to her must be many and kind of mind boggling. Interesting about her name.
I’m her 6th great grandson so somehow we’re all cousins lol
This source shows her name https://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/GenealogieQuebec.aspx?genealogie=Madeleine_Allyn&pid=24930&lng=fr
The geni site is excellent the YouTube video looks fantastic!
We’re 8th cousins
The French language is very challenging for me makes the genealogy so much more difficult but exciting to learn new about new ancestors
