The Fur Trade Families of Quebec 1622-1748 is a series of books documenting the men of the early fur trade and their families with Indigenous women. Many of the marriages resulted in no known children or with a few children and no further information. The first volume "The Fur Trade Families of Quebec 1622-1748 - The Families" will include all of the known marriages, unions and families. Volume I families are listed alphabetical order by the husband's surname. Three generations of descendants are included, if possible, and notes for baptism, marriage, burial, name variations, censuses, occupation, employment and biographical information may be included.
This series is a revision of the series "First Metis Families of Quebec 1622-1748". After over a decade of searching, this researcher can find no distinct Metis community among these families. There is evidence the majority of the descendants married French Canadians and became laborers, farmers or craftsmen in the Province of Quebec. This revised edition and will be updated when additional information is discovered.
