La Société des Filles du roi

et soldats du Carignan

La Société des Filles du roi et soldats du Carignan, Corp. (SFRSC) is a

non-profit corporation dedicated to the women and men

who played a major role in the growth and settlement of New France.

Their courage, independence, and self-sacrifice

are evident in the strength of their descendants.

If you have French-Canadian ancestry you are likely to have one or more King’s Daughters (Filles du roi) or Carignan soldiers among your ancestors. In fact, you might find that your ancestral lines include many of these women and men!

You are invited to explore these pages to learn more about the King's Daughters and the Regiment Soldiers, the pioneer seventeenth-century emigrants from France. We also provide links to other genealogical resources for those with French Canadian ancestry. Our aim is to support individuals in their efforts to explore their family history through research and in their use of sound genealogical practices.

Be sure to check the New France by the Numbers and our public page of sample articles from our journals. Want to write for the journal? Be sure to review the Guidelines for Articles.
