          ​Marie-Madeleine was born in Saint-Pierre the 28th of December 1679 January 5, 1680,(1) to parents Thomas and Andreé (Remondiere). Her mother Andreé was a Fille du Roy. Magdelaine eighth in a family, possibly as large as seventeen. I have found fourteen so far. Her father landed in Château Richer about 1637 and married Andrée in 1666. He was twenty-nine at the time and his young bride was but fifteen. They moved to Ile d’Orleans after the birth of their first child in 1668 and settled in Saint-Pierre.

           ​Jacques and Marie-Madeleine married in Saint-Pierre, Isle d’Orleans on February 8, 1706,(2). Unlike her mother, Magdeleine was much older than her husband. Magdeleine was twenty-seven when they married and Jacques, twenty. The couple left the island and settled in Saint-Nicolas, Lévis*, they had three sons and one daughter.

           ​​Marie-Madeleine died September 22, 1712,(3) at age thirty-three in Saint-Nicolas Quebec, leaving behind her husband of twenty-six and four small children.
