I'm listing our Fontaine dit Bienvenu Facebook page for your enjoyment. https://www.facebook.com/groups/3285056068406216 I'm also looking for connections between Fentons and Fontaines around the 1600's. Variants like deFenton sound like deFontaine, De Fountain, etc. Many Fentons are in Staffordshire and Virginia, USA in the 1700's. and there was migration between England and France in the 1600's, partly because of the Catholic persecution of Huguenots and Protestants fleeing France.
The biography for Roger Fontaine I've included my mother's family name as additional name to honour her contribution to my being. therefore: "Bergeron-Fontaine"

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
