To which project does Marie-Josephe (LeNeuf) LeNeuf de La Vallière (1671 - 1703) belong?

Question

I am slowly trying to sort out the profiles that are somehow connected to the Acadian Project. We want to have profiles of people who were living in "Acadie" or Acadia from about 1600-1755. She was born in Trois-Rivières in 1671 and died in Repentigny, Quebec. Which of the tagged projects would be most appropriate for her?

Answer 1

Québécois can take this one.  It is known that she married in Repentigny in 1692 (see marriage act below), so all of her BMS acts are found in Canada, Nouvelle-France.

"Québec, registres paroissiaux catholiques, 1621-1979," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G99Q-394P-S?cc=1321742&wc=9RLN-RMZ%3A17673401%2C17673402%2C17673403 : 16 July 2014), Repentigny > La Purification-de-Repentigny > Baptêmes, mariages, sépultures 1679-1766 > image 58 of 657; Archives Nationales du Quebec (National Archives of Quebec), Montreal.

Thanks Greg--you may want to look at some of the other profiles to see if they also should be edited.

Answer 2

All acts pertaining to her are in Québécois project purview, her husband had 2 seigneuries in Acadie, but he seems to have spent little time there, he was a military man and involved with the west more.  Some of the children may have been born in Acadie, since there are gaps in baptisms for them.

Thanks Danielle! That is helpful.

filled in bio for her and her husband.  Not sure about the fraud categories, frankly those are being put on anybody who might have been mentioned by the false genealogists, but it does make for misleading indication about her.  She most definitely existed.
