I wonder if this is where my father’s lineage comes from??? I found this interesting.
In 1663, King Louis XIV sent 800 women across the Atlantic on a daring mission that would change North America forever. These brave volunteers weren't just immigrants. They were the strategic key to saving an entire colony from collapse. What happened next created a legacy that lives on in millions of people today. The story of the Filles du Roi is one of the most remarkable population experiments in colonial history, and chances are you've never heard of it.
