Chapter 1 – As it was: We follow the families who lived in Quebec and never ventured west. They did move within Quebec and several of them also went to the US to find work as large families had difficulty finding land for their children to farm on.
On the Noel side of the family we follow Pierre-David Noel (1821) and Esther Giguere; and David Noel (1858) and Virginie Lussier. On the Boivin side we follow Marcel Boivin (1795) and Theotiste Lemelin; and Julien Boivin (1837) and Julienne Cyr.
