Jeanne Soldé and her descendants
Jeanne Soldé was baptized in 1630 in Villaines-sous-Malicorne, located in the current French department of Sarthe, as were at least three of her older siblings. At least two younger siblings were baptized in adjacent La Flèche, which Jeanne herself declared as her home town at her marriage in Canada. During the Ancien Régime, the area was part of the French province of Anjou, bordering the province of Maine. The parents of these six known siblings were named Martin Soldé (sometimes Sauldé) and Julienne Lepotier.(1)

Jeanne arrived in Montréal in 1653 as part of La Grande Recrue,(2) a famous recruitment effort led by Montréal founders Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve, Jeanne Mance and Marguerite Bourgeoys to solidify the Western frontier of the colony. The journey was met with difficulties, as the first boat started sinking shortly after leaving France and the second boat ran aground as it reached Québec City. The governor would not lend them boats to reach Montréal, so de Maisonneuve had to walk them there in late October (268 km / 167 mi).(3) On January 7 (1654), Jeanne Soldé married Jacques Beauvais dit St-Gemme in Montréal, a man born in 1623, the son of Gabriel Beauvais and Marie Cronier, in Saint-Martin-d'Igé, a town then part of the province of Perche (now the department of Orne), located 90 km (55 mi) from Jeanne's place of birth, and who had been in Canada since at least 1652.(4) The couple had 4 sons and 5 daughters born in Montréal.(5). As an indication of how small the Montréal settlement was at the time, we can notice that founders Paul de Maisonneuve and Marguerite Bourgeoys themselves were respectively a witness at the couple's wedding and a godmother to one of their daughters (Marguerite). Among the other notorious early Montrealers in the couple's circles, we can cite Lambert Closse (both a witness at their wedding and godfather to their first child, Raphaël) and Jean Décary (present at the baptism of Étiennette / Marie with his son Paul, who was the godfather).

We do not know when or where Jeanne Soldé passed away, but she was still in Montréal with her family during the 1681 census. Her husband Jacques passed away in Montréal in 1691 and we have no indication as to whether Jeanne was still alive or not at that time. Most of the couple's children remained in the Montréal area, with two exceptions. One of the daughters, Marie, later moved to Trois-Rivières and one son, Jean-Baptiste, while residing in Montréal, was a merchant and a voyageur involved in the fur trade and he appears to have perished on one of his journeys outside Québec. From the seven (of nine) children who were married, 64 grandchildren were born on the territory of present-day Québec. Six grandsons moved further West to other French settlements of the Great Lakes (Les Pays-d'en-Haut) and the Upper Mississippi River (Le Pays des Illinois). It is remarkable that some of these Montrealers were expanding to Detroit (Sainte-Anne-de-Détroit) and Kaskaskia (present-day Illinois) as early as 1710, almost a century before the Lewis and Clark expedition. It is no coincidence that we find more than a dozen French-Canadian surnames among the members of the famous Corps of Discovery (1804--1806).
Only one great-grandson appears to have, like his cousins, migrated to the area of present-day Illinois. An exact count of the following generations is difficult to establish because of this early migration outside of Canada, but the PRDH database has documented 227 great-grandchildren. Now a dozen generations after their marriage, genealogist Denis Beauregard estimates the couple's total descendants to be numbered between 1,680,000 and 2,100,000 in Québec only. From the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, it is estimated that one million French-Canadians immigrated to the USA, mainly to Michigan, upstate New York and all six states of New England. Though it is difficult to quantify, thousands of descendants of Jeanne Soldé and Jacques Beauvais must have been among the newly established Franco-American communities, that were often referred to as "Little Canadas" with their own churches and schools.

Why mtDNA and what can it do for genealogy?
When thinking of genealogy, most people think of their surname and of the ancestors who bore this surname. Some go a little further and think of the surname of their mother and the ancestors sharing that surname. In reality, the ancestors who share your surname or the surname of your mother represent only a fraction of your ancestors. Think of the fact that you have four grandparents with (usually) four different surnames at birth, eight great-grandparent, sixteen great-great-grandparents... at generation ten, each one of us has 1024 ancestors and our surame is only one among them (less than a thousandth!), setting aside cases where there is marriage among related individuals.Each person's DNA is a mix of his or her parents' and, therefore, of their various ancestors. It is near impossible, in most cases, to know which chunk of DNA can be attributed to which ancestor. However, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), located outside the 23 pairs of nuclear DNA, is stricly transmitted by the mother to her children. Men possess mtDNA too and, therefore, can participate in a mtDNA study, even if they can't transmit it to their children.
Because it is always transmitted by a mother to her children, mtDNA is common to all individuals located along the matrilineal line, which is the ancestral lineage of a person that strictly goes from female-to-female. In genealogy, the matrilineal line is notoriously difficult to establish, because, in many cultures, family names are transmitted via the father. Therefore, the maiden name of the women along the matrilineal line changes at each generation. Québec's Catholic parish records are notorious for keeping an excellent track of women's maiden names. Whereas in some cultures, the names of the spouses' mothers are often omitted, Québec Catholic birth and marriage records almost always name the mothers by their maiden names. Even on her death record, a married woman or a widow will usually be listed under her maiden name rather than her married name. This allows Québec genealogists to reconstruct very deep matrilineal genealogies that usually go back to the first woman who came to Québec from France. (Of course, in some cases, the most distant woman along the matrilineal line can be an Amerindian woman or a woman who came from another country.)

If two modern individuals have matrilineal genealogies that go back to the same woman, their mtDNA should be identical or nearly so. If the two individuals are matrilineally descendant from two separate daughters of the same woman, then a close match on the mtDNA test confirms the validity of the genealogies. Detecting a mtDNA match between two individuals descendant from two separate daughters of a woman is called triangulating the mtDNA signature of this woman. The more descendants we test from as many different branches as possible (ideally the branches would branch out closer to the target ancestor), the more firmly we validate the matrilineal genealogies.
In turn, once the mtDNA signature of a female ancestor is firmly established, people who test and show up with a result inconsistent with their genealogy can allow researchers to spot errors or gaps in the records, or detect previously unknown adoption cases. Testing for mtDNA has also allowed researchers to detect Amerindian women among the founding population of Québec. Sometimes the presence of these women is suspected, but, because they were given French names, it was impossible to prove their ethnicity until mtDNA testing became more readily available. This gives us a more accurate picture of how the early Europeans in Québec interacted and intermarried with the more ancient Amerindian population. Furthermore, mtDNA testing can allow us to detect a relationship between two early women who came to Québec. If this family relationship goes back to France, the Québec records will generally be silent about the relationship between two individuals. In other words, we can get a better picture of how closely related the population of French settlers was before crossing the ocean.
Validating Jeanne Soldé's deep lineages through mtDNA testing
The Québec mtDNA Project financed a first test for a documented descendant of Jeanne Soldé. FTDNA's Full Sequence mtDNA test was used for maximum resolution. The results immediately showed seven matches at a genetic distance of zero. All matches were contacted, but some had already provided a documented genealogy that linked them through matrilineal descent to Jeanne Soldé. Currently, the number of matches at a mtDNA genetic distance of zero is twelve, for a group of thirteen individuals. Another match at genetic distance "1" later provided a documented genealogy going up to Jeanne Soldé. Setting aside matches who have not responded, were adopted or have not provided a detailed genealogy, we arrive at a group of eight individuals. All four daughters of Jeanne Soldé known to have descendants are represented at least once among these eight individuals. Although a detailed account falls outside the scope of this research, we should mention that, among the French-Canadian population tested, Jeanne Soldé's closest matrilineal relative appears to be Elisabeth Camus (circa 1645--1680), an immigrant from Paris who also settled in Montréal and whose descendants show up at a genetic distance of 2 or 3 from the descendants of Jeanne Soldé.
 Summary graph illustrating the eight documented matrilineal branches of Jeanne Soldé that were tested using FTDNA's Full Sequence mtDNA test. The lineage marked "+1" had a genetic distance of "1" from the other ones. More complete lineages (respecting privacy of living individuals) can be viewed on the pages of the Québec mtDNA Project here. |
The following tree, compiled from the PRDH database with minor adjustments from Denis Beauregard's database and FichierOrigine, lists three generations of matrilineal descendants of Jeanne Soldé (numbered 4) and Jacques Beauvais, with the addition of Jeanne's siblings (numbered 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6) and their parents (numbered 0), for a total of five generations. The descendants of Jeanne Soldé are numbered according to the d'Aboville genealogical numbering system. Descendant males who, according to the genealogies, should have inherited Jeanne Soldé's mtDNA sequence are included with their spouse(s), but not their children. The names colored in red have documented matrilineal descendants who were tested on FamilyTreeDNA's Full Sequence mtDNA test. The pair of numbers in blue represent:
a) the number of documented descendants tested for each individual;
b) the number of daughters through which these descendants are issued.
Thus, the mention Jeanne Soldé (1630--...) [8:4] means that eight documented descendants of Jeanne Soldé issued from four different daughters were tested. The individuals tested all showed up within the mitochondrial haplogroup H86 at a genetic distance of "0" or "1", which is extremely tight for individuals separated by 11-13 generations. Six other individuals show up in the database at zero distance from most, but they have not provided detailed genealogies at this point in time.
The zero mtDNA-distance of seven of the eight individuals tested and the fact that they are issued from four separate daughters is a strong confirmation of the accuracy of the records linking them to Jeanne Soldé.
