Prussian resources

A quarter of my tree is of Prussian decent, and the Prussian state existed until 1947. I am working to understand what region people are from and record the correct places of birth. The following are a collection of resources I think may be helpful.

The Langlois Sisters

The Langlois sisters, Marguerite and Francoise, immigrated to New France together with their husbands in approximately 1620. They were among the first settlers to the area, supposedly with Samuel Champlain.

Marguerite was the wife of Abraham Martin dit L'Ecossias, a prominent member of the new community being founded and likely the namesake of the Plains of Abraham in Quebec.

Francoise was the wife of Pierre Desportes. Either on the ship inroute to the new community or shortly after they arrived, their daughter Marie-Helene Desportes was born. Marie-Helene is credited as being the first white person born in New France, had many children, and served as a midwife to other women in the area.

Interestingly, both of my parents are related to the Langlois sisters. The sisters' mother is my Dad's 10th great grandmother, and my Mom's 11th great grandmother. I think that makes my parents 11th cousins once removed. I'm related to myself!

The Drouin collection

This is mostly for my reference, but if you scroll through the link below, there are several posts written about translating the Drouin records. The Drouin collection records are handwritten in French, and they can be a challenge to understand.
