Pierre Part dit LaForest was born about 1685, at Moulins or Mouzens, near Tulle, France. He was son of Pierre & Catherine PIOUSSET, of the parish of Moulin, diocese of Tulle, France. (Note: Should this be Limousin, near Tulle, France?) He was a soldier at the Port Royal garrison. [1] He married there on 3 Feb 1707 to Jeanne Dugast, daughter of Claude Dugast and the late Françoise Bourgeois.[2][3][4]
Note re place of origin in France: It has been suggested that this might be referring to Mouzens, but that is just east of Toulouse and several hundred kilometres south of Tulle; it is noted that there is also town of Moulins, about 200km northeast of Tulle (in what was the province of Bourbonnais). Research is required to confirm.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Pierre by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Pierre:
No burial record has been found yet. There are 2 clues that indicate that he died around 1727, possibly in Ingonish, Nova Scotia. His son Eustache in January 1761, in Cherbourg, France, declared that his father died 34 years earlier in Acadie , and his mother 35 years earlier. Pierre appeared in several censuses between 1710 and 1726. In 1726, he was residing in Niganiche (Ingonish). He does not appear in subsequent censuses.
