From orphan to patriarch – Incredible life stories from the past
When people look at the family’s of New France in North America, they will soon learn that some of them have histories that can be tracked back into the 17th century. This book researches the origins of such an enduring cluster of interrelated North American families. They are the families that first formed in colonial New France in the 17th Century. The narrative tracks the genealogy and history of the families Roberge, Boisvert and Boucher. They are all prominently found in the author’s 11-generation family tree. The investigation delivers circumstantial evidence of mixed ethnogenesis in the formative years of what is now the Canadian province of Quebec. The founding patriarchs most prominently introduced in these pages appear to have been orphans of uncertain origin.
Readers of “From orphan to patriarch” by Edward Roby are treated to an interesting history lesson in which they learn that you don’t have to be from a rich or royal family to become someone with power and wealth. The author tells stories of men who once were orphans but who developed into patriarchs of families that were not easily forgotten. His book started as research into his own family tree but developed into an interesting book about the history of some influential families. It is also the history of New France and the people who were responsible for how it developed into what you see today.
