Several lines of Belangers come down into my family.
Francois Bélanger is referred to by Thomas Laforest in Our French-Canadian Ancestors as the earliest colonist bearing this name and having offspring in Canada.
Francois married Marie Guyon 12 Jul 1637 in Quebec. They had 12 children.
From their son, Charles - who married Barbe Cloutier - there are two direct lines (Alexis who married Marie Lesot; Marie who married Joseph Gravel).
A line also from Francois's daughter, Louise, who married Jean Cloutier.
Another Bélanger line originates with Nicolas Bélanger dit Catherine who married Marie de Rainville, 11 Jan 1660, in Quebec.
My line is from their son Nicolas who married Marie Magnan 2 Nov 1699 in Charlesbourg, Quebec.
