Arrival in Quebec City

THE ARRIVALS on the ST-ANDRE SHIP 1659
A reader, writer and friend, Ms Lorene Valdez sent us the Archange Godbout list of passengers for the 1659 arrivals in Quebec, with the old spellings, and for further details on the list, the ship, the events surrounding its crossing and good biographical details on the passengers, with reproduction of many engagement contracts found in France, she suggests you read the excellent research book written by P.Archange Godbout, "LES PASSAGERS DU SAINT-ANDRÉ", published by Société Généalogique Canadienne-Française, Montréal, 1964, 163 pages. Still in stock.

Reproduction of Archives Document
In the fall of 1658, Jeanne Mance and Marguerite Bourgeoys left Montréal for France to raise some financing and get new recruits for Montréal. In France during the following winter, the Associés de Montréal [The Associates of Montreal] provided funds to contract a few soldiers and brides-to-be for some of the settlers, Jeanne Mance with the financing of Madame de Bullion recruited three nurse-nuns for her Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Montréal, a few brides-to-be and some families most from the village of Marans in Aunis, and the Séminaire de Saint-Sulpice [Saint-Sulpice Seminary] of Paris contracted some labourers, artisans and future brides.

A list of the people recruited for Montréal was prepared, maybe by Jeanne Mance herself, before or after the trip,and has been kept until today as document 31 at the archives de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal. Hôtel-Dieu, still in existence today, is the hospital founded by Jeanne Mance.
