Generation No. 2
2.Jacques2 Jean-dit-Laviolette-Jamme-Jahan (Sabastien1 Jean) was born 21 May 1634 in Ste. Solemne, Blois, Orleanais, France, and died 04 Apr 1699 in Québec City, QC.He married Marie Ferra 24 Sep 1658 in Québec City, QC (ct 7, Peuvret), daughter of Jean Ferra and Antoinette Hubert.She was born about 1644 in Creve Coeur le Grand, Beauvaise, Picardy, France, and died 17 Feb 1713 in St. Jean de l'Île d'Orléans, QC.
Notes for Jacques Jean-dit-Laviolette-Jamme-Jahan:
He was born about May 1634 in the parish of Sainte-Solemne (today: the parish of Saint-Louis) in Blois (diocese of Chartres), Orléanais, the son of Sébastien Jahan and Jeanne Oudinet/Audinet.He most likely received his "dit" name from his or his father's military service.The French issued a nickname like the military assign identification numbers today.
He was listed in the 1681 Île d'Orléans census as a 50 year old tanner.
Jacques Jahan dit Laviolette was buried 04 April 1699 at Québec City.
Notes for Marie Ferra:
"Filles à Marier", page 135, Marie Ferra was born about 1644 in Crève-coeur-le-Grand (near the diocese of Beauvais), Picardy, the daughter of Jean Ferra and Antoinette Hubert. After losing both her parents, she left for New France in 1658.
On 24 September 1658, Marie married Jacques Jahan dit Laviolette in Québec City. It is not known if she could sign the marriage contract drawn up 07 September by notary Peuvret in the home of Sieur François Bissot, but her husband could. The fact that the contract was signed in Bissot's home suggests that Marie lodged with him prior to her marriage.
They settled on the Île d'Orléans, but the parish of Sainte Famille was not created until 1666, so until that time their children were baptized at Château-Richer.
On May 5th, one month after Marie buried her husband, she buried her son François at Sainte Famille.Both may have been the victims of an unidentified epidemic that struck the colony that year.Marie Ferra was buried 17 February 1713 at Saint-Jean, Île d'Orléans.Of her 11 children, only three girls survived her.

=======================
Hi, I have decided to post all my Québec pioneer ancestor at the different GenForums because a lot of individuals doing genealogy research don’t realize that their ancestors can be found as early as the 1600s.
My resources are limited because I live in Oregon. I hope that you use this information only as a guide. I welcome corrections and additions from anyone that has access to the original files.
Originally I paid a genealogy society to trace the direct lines for 6 of my 8 great grandparents. They used the books that were compiled by volunteers for each parish. Because so many individuals had the same name, I eventually found some errors in these books. Then I used Tanguay and found out that he may be about 75% right and Jette (that goes to 1730) is about 90% right. Then just as I thought that I was finished, I found PRDH (University of Montreal) and I believe that they may be 98% right and still make corrections to their records. They go up to 1799 for marriage contracts and 1850 for some deaths. Some people have the luxury of having the original records at their disposal. I do not have that and with 17,000 individuals in my data base, I can not afford to pay for copies of all the originals. At that point I confirmed every that I had with the records at PRDH. Whenever I say “about” for a birth date it means that PRDH did not find it or if it is in the 1800s, I did not look it up because of my lack of resources.
PRDH uses the most common spelling variation for the names. This makes it easier to trace the families. They do not always use the original name that appears on the contracts or birth records. That is ok with me, because many individuals before the 1900s could not sign their names and did not even care how others spelt it. As a result the same person’s name took on a variety of spellings. I also kept the “dit” (aka) names because eventually brothers from the same family, picked a different aka name.For a very small fee PRDH has all the Canadian records from 1600-1799 and some death dates up to 1850.Their records are about 18% accurate.They can be found at:

As for the pioneers, I also used Peter Gagné’s English books on the single girls that arrived in New France between 1634 & 1662 and his book on the single girls that are referred to as the King’s Daughters that arrived between 1663 & 1673. These girls were recruited and paid by the King to go to New France (Québec) to get married and colonize the area.
For the 1800-1900s I paid to prove my direct lines.My data for their extended family come from people on the web. The program that I use does not allow for baptismal dates, so if I don’t have a birth date, I use the baptismal date. The same goes for death vs. burial dates and actual wedding vs. contract dates. The newer programs have these features, but I will not be going through 18,000 records to make the changes.
Use this information as a guide only. I view genealogy as a hobby and not as pure science.As for the stories, I got them all in French on the web and I translated them for my grandchildren.I had not read or spoken French in over 40 years, so it was difficult and may not be the best translation.
Enjoy, Janet
