Hello, welcome to Have Roots Will Travel. My name is Lisa Elvin Staltari and I'm a genealogist

and a passionate traveler. This past year we've been traveling back in time. We've been looking

at the seeds of all the King's daughters and examining each and every one of them for their

contribution and their history. We will dive into them. We are now on episode 122. There are in total

about 700. So we've got a long way to go. You can have a look at my website, haverutualtravel.com.

I have posted links to all of the previous episodes and if there are any new ones that you want,

need to feature sooner than later, please feel free to write me at haverutualtravel.com

or you can also post a comment below on any of these YouTube videos and I do respond.

So with that being said, let's get started and find out more about our phase of law of this episode.

This episode number 122, Katzemjievula, which means fever, is actually your request and also

when I look to my boss, a genealogy colleague of mine and she knows who she is. So this is

for you as well. So let's have a look at Katherine and find out her story.

So she was born in 1646 in a city, it's actually a city, near in France. Her parents were fiecra fiegula

and jekt dusseur and you can see where she is in the region of Nuevele, Akisane, where so many

of our fiecjo, I'm sure, but her region is dussevua. New York is fairly, it is actually the capital

of that county or, you know, de Bata-Mala as we call it. The population of New York in today

is about 58,000. It's a major business area, it features insurance and banking companies,

but it has its origin in the seventh century when a small bridge was built over the savvua

and was named New Ford. The village became known as Novotium and then New York. In the 12th and 13th

centuries, the ocean extended as far as New York, but making it a prosperous port with caves,

you know, with, you know, anchors, welcoming hundreds of sailing barges,

carrying salt and wine and cereal and skins and a broad prosperity to the town. King Henry II

of England and his son Richard I, erected the castle you see on your left, okay, that castle

is from that era. The city of New York became one of the centers of Protestant in western

France and suffered after the revocation of the

age 17 on the very first boat, Lefenix, De Flausauge, June 30, 1663, amazing. She got on that first

ship. So let's have a look at who she selected and who selected her. What was his name? The groom

that she selects and who selects her, his name was Shao or Charles, alive and he was born in 1637.

In a commune called Saint-Chi-Bai-R-Juponk-Shahola, there's a mouthful,

is now just called Santo-Nes. So if you look for it, that's what it's called. His parents were

Sebasti-Alar and Perin-Florisant. Now you can see the region of France where he's from,

Piedalalouge, okay, and he is from the Ditatama or county of Vandy. So that gives you an idea of

where in France it is from. And it was actually originally known as a Bo-Pwattu and as part of

the former province of Pwattu. So some of you may be doing research in Quebec and you see this.

This is where it's all kind of coalescing. The church where he would have been mapped

to us is still in existence and this is an area of view of this lovely town where you can imagine

it's been around forever. And now, right now, this population of this town is probably in the

hundreds of people. It is a very small village and you know this is the area where Shao was

growing. It's largely agricultural. So let's have a look at Shao and his journey.

So Shao and Jia, his brother, come to New France. Now his brother would marry a lady almost

immediately. So she was not a phage of what she's probably a fan of. I haven't researched that.

But they both enlisted at Nacoshed in 1658 in the service of Tlais-Flor Peron. That was the

person who signed the contract. And they sailed on Lutto when their contract was for three years

at 75 pounds a year. They received a signing bonus of about 35 pounds. At the end of his contract,

Charles in 1662 signed a marriage with a lady named Rasswaj Chappelle. But it was subsequently

canceled. So there was Shao. He was on his own. His brother had married. His sonate was on her way,

coming quickly. So by 1663, November 10, 1663, the exact Catherine and Charles were married at

Quebec City. They had finally found each other. The very first years were spent at Chateau-Rishe.

Give you a middle of information on Chateau-Rishe in 1626. Samuel and De Champelle established Chateau-Rishe,

the first farm in the St. Lawrence Valley. It was to feed the people of Quebec City.

Jean-Boule-Dons Map of 1641 is the earliest source that mentions the name Chateau-Rishe,

referring only to the Cape or Headland on which stands the present church. But the origin of the

name remains uncertain. And in 1646, Olivier de Lutto d'Eft, the Lord and Chief Prosecutor,

he granted 20 Colesse-Sio to the inhabitants of Chateau-Rishe so that they could officially

establish themselves properly. So it was like in 1646, they finally had this place that they could

call. In 1678, the local parish was formed named Le Vista-Sou-Lin-O-Faudin. And on

March 15, 1753, Chateau-Rishe became the very first organized village with a proper, you know,

administration and all of that. So that is kind of the history of Chateau-Rishe. And

many of the, you know, oldest families in Quebec first settled, first settled. Even today, a

fairly large segment of the town's population can be traced back to these pioneer family.

The town stretches for several miles alongside Route 138. This route, which is originally known

as the Kings Road, the Chamejia Wall, or Chamejia Wall, should be later renamed Avenue

of Iran, is among the first ones to be built in North America. I did a little travel log on the

Chateau or not Chateau-Rishe but on the Chamejia Wall, you can look it up on my travel list.

And I kind of go through it. I plan on doing that next summer, so I'm going to do the Kings Road.

As so many have before they settled in Indorlia, which is located, of course, in the St. Lawrence

River, through Maas east of downtown Quebec City. It was one of the first parts of the province to

be colonized by the French. And a large percentage of French Canadians can trace their ancestry

to the early residents of this island. It really is a microcosm of all of Quebec,

because everyone kind of deviates there. I mean, there's a lot of people who didn't,

but if you were among the earliest pioneers, the odds are you're going to have some pioneers in

on Indorlia. So they settled here. In 1666 census, we have Sha'ul-Allah and Catherine-Jévere.

And so there's about an 11-year, I always like to see if they change from year to year,

how old they are. And then we have Maggie, their first born, who's 18 months old, and Charles,

who's a month old. And by the next census, we have Sha'ul, who is 28. Now, Catherine has aged

significantly. She's now eight years younger than him instead of 11. And then we have Maggie

Medleyn, who is two months. So we can see, unfortunately, that Maggie and Charles from the 1666 census are

no longer there. And so they do have one goat and sixapa, which is about four acres of land.

So I want to have 13 children in all. As we have seen, Mary and Charles both died before

the 1667 census. Mary Medleyn would marry Pierre Jourout and have seven children, all of whom

made it to adulthood. Charles married Mary Bidey and had 12 children, 11 of whom made it to adulthood.

Jacques died at eight years of age. Jacques was far married and they had 11 children,

10 of whom made it to adulthood. Jacques's death married Medleyn Bidey, whose sister had married,

the two brothers married the sisters. And he had eight children, all of whom made it to adulthood.

Catherine married Gabriel Chamberlain and had 10 children, seven of whom made it to adulthood.

Louis married Anne S. Lane had seven children, seven of whom made it to adulthood. Charles

married Jacques Medleyn, you see that name again, and had seven children, six of whom made it to

adulthood. At 10 married, Anne Medleyn had 13 children, 10 of whom made it. He then married

McAdith, Anne Niella, and had four more children, all of whom made it. Alexandra married Catherine

Medley to see how we have three sisters marrying their three brothers, and had four children,

all of whom made it. Now, they're not married, Pierre Dubuire, that had three children,

only one of whom made it before her untimely death at 28. And then we have here the 1681 census.

We have Charles Alaya, he's 50. Catherine has aged some more, she's now 46,

she's only four years younger than him. Alpha are their children's Mary,

Charles, Joshua, Joseph, Catherine, Louis. And then we have, I remember all the ones after

Cam later, and are not on that census. We have one gun, we have four goats, and we have 10

half-a-da-da-da, so about eight acres of land. So we do not have death records for either of them,

which is always sad, but we don't have the exact date. But Charles died sometime between 1687

and 1691, we presume that he's buried on the island of Orleans. He would have been about 50,

when he would have passed away, and he and Catherine would have been married about 25 years.

Catherine herself would die at the age of 67. We don't have a death record, but what we do have

is, and I've clipped it for you all, this is a register of the hospital,

and it says here, where it says, Alaya la Bonfam desa en la traysurra. That means

deceased the 13th of June, 1709, the old woman la Bonfam, Alaya, and this would be

her only record, if you will, and she would presumably have been buried at the cemetery of the hospital.

Usually when you died in the hospital and came back at the very early stages of the

history, you would be buried at the hospital. If you were if you died at home, which many were,

they would then be transported to the cemetery of their church, but in these days, they generally

were buried for health reasons as well. And I provided a link to this

register. It's an amazing PDF document that I found, and really, really remarkable,

you know, information has been gleaned about this.

Here's a final tribute to Charles and Catherine. Of course, they are among the pioneers of

of in Dalia, and you can, when you go there, you can stand and see their names on that monument.

They would have been a remarkable topple. Despite the early deaths, they have produced an

incredible amount of descendants. They were, as of 1729, a hundred, and let me see if I get this

right, 166 descendants from as of 1729. I can only imagine what they're on now.

I found this website when I was looking, you know, how I always look for the family associations

and things like that. So this is really interesting. So have a look at that. I've provided the link.

There's another, um, there's another source that I found as well. Let me show it to you.

So this is a PDF as well as well, and the information contained in this virus copy directly

from the two volume French publications of Leifenie, et la, et la, et la. So it's, you know,

for all to enjoy. So have a look at that. That is definitely something to explore.

So we'll look at some of the resources. L'Assar sitti di fijreuag,

a great society to belong to. You get a wonderful, um, a wonderful certificate of your ancestry,

however, I have two that I've submitted so far. I'm a member and I'm also the membership chair

person. It's been around since 1994. So it really is a wonderful, wonderful society. Quebec

genealogical, the new society is fairly new on the block, but boy, they're really giving a lot of

information, a lot of resources as well. Have a look at them. Nousa rijin is a wonderful thick

tank of all kinds of stuff. You mean you can participate as well in that one. Genealogica

Beck is a paying website, but for me, it's absolutely essential. We have mi gracio, which is a,

everything you ever wanted to know about things you want. So I had free site, but I do pay pal

every so often just to thank them for their contributions. And Facebook group,

Fijo La Descendants, amazing, very kind souls on that Facebook group. So I would encourage you

to check out all these. And so with that, we end episode 122. Amazing, amazing story of so many

descendants and they're start early. And so they're pioneers in Chachatobishi at Indolea. You have,

so many descendants coming from there and also just being there, even though they had a fairly

short life for the time, they contributed much. And for that, we thank Catherine for her contribution,

for her sacrifices. And just for being, you know, a Fijo La, we bless her memory. Thank you, Catherine.

Until I see you on episode 123, a la voir.
