Biography

Anne Françoise Mongrain Lafond was baptised on 7 May 1719, at Batiscan, in Canada, Nouvelle-France. Her parents were Jean Lafond Mongrain and Francoise Lafond Rivard. ^[1][2]

Note regarding varying spellings of family names for Lafond Mongrain:

This family represents a "text-book" (and now G2G) example of the varying uses of original family names and dit names. What was originally De Lafond - as in the case of grandfather Pierre De Lafond, was often written by her father with the dit name of Mongrain added - and the two names were then used variously (for different children and events) and in both "orders" together - so, for example, Lafond Mongrain or Mongrain de Lafond. (See G2G discussion) ^[3]

In the case of Marie Françoise, she was baptized as the daughter of Jean (noted in the reverse order of "Mongrain dit Lafond")^[1]

She later used the name Marie Françoise when she married Jacques Gignac (1718–1807), on 6 Feb 1741, at Batiscan. ^[2][4]

She passed away at the age of just 36 years old, on 28 Jan 1756, and was buried the following day at Cap-Santé. ^[2][5]
