In 1606, a Paris apothecary named Louis Hébert stepped ashore in Acadia. Fifteen generations later, here I am. These are a few of the people in between.
The first stories are well documented. The last section is for fun: the further back a family tree goes, the more kings, Vikings and saints it collects.

Louis Hébert, the first one here
Louis Hébert crossed the Atlantic in 1606 aboard the Jonas, bound for Port-Royal in Acadia. There he grew close to the Mi'kmaq. In 1611 he nursed Actodin, the son of the great chief Membertou, back from the edge of death, and two months later he cared for Membertou himself in his final days. He grew medicinal plants the Mi'kmaq showed him, and he sent France plants that no one in Europe had seen before.
In 1617 he returned to New France for good, this time with his wife and three children, and settled in Quebec. The Dictionary of Canadian Biography calls him the first head of a family there to live off the land. His FamilySearch profile also names him New France's first officer of justice and the first private settler to receive a land grant. He died in Quebec in January 1627.
In 1918, for the 300th anniversary of the Héberts' arrival, Quebec City raised a bronze monument to him.

161713th great-grandmother
Marie Rollet, Quebec's first teacher and godmother to many
Marie Rollet, Louis Hébert's wife, crossed with him and their three children in 1617 and became the first European woman to settle in Quebec. She worked beside him caring for the sick and, according to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, shared his interest in the Indigenous people around them, above all in educating their children. The Canadian Encyclopedia calls her the first female French farmer and teacher in Quebec.
In 1627 she fed the crowd at the baptism of Naneogauchit, son of the chief Chomina, from her big brewing kettle, and she stood as godmother to many Indigenous converts. When the English took Quebec in 1629, she and her family were among the few colonists who stayed, and the Dictionary says they kept the memory of French friendship alive among their Indigenous neighbours.
After the French returned in 1632, her home took in young Indigenous girls placed with the Jesuits for schooling. One sketch on her FamilySearch profile says the family "enjoyed unusually good relations with the local natives to whom Louis was a physician and she a teacher." She died in Quebec in 1649.

161312th great-grandfather
Guillaume Couillard, the first plow in Canada
Guillaume Couillard reached Quebec in 1613 and married the Héberts' daughter, Guillemette. According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, he was the first person in Canada to use a plow, in the spring of 1628. In 1654 the king made him a noble, Sieur de L'Espinay, "on account of services rendered to the country of Canada."
When the English took Quebec in 1629, his was the only complete family that agreed to stay under the occupation. Champlain left two Indigenous girls he had adopted, Charité and Espérance, in the Couillards' care.

162011th great-grandmother
Hélène Desportes, born in Quebec
Hélène Desportes was born in Quebec in July 1620. The Dictionary of Canadian Biography says she is believed to be the first child born to European parents in New France. Her godmother was Hélène Boullé, the wife of Samuel de Champlain. Hélène Desportes's FamilySearch profile says Champlain left her 300 livres in his will. She grew up to marry Louis Hébert's son, Guillaume, and worked as a midwife. Her son Germain, from her second marriage, became the first Canadian-born priest.
These four stories meet in one family: Marie Rollet was Louis Hébert's wife, Guillaume Couillard married their daughter, and Hélène married their son.

Pilots, voyageurs and priests
16359th great-grandfather
Abraham Martin, of the Plains of Abraham
Abraham Martin, nicknamed "the Scot", was a fisherman and most likely a river pilot on the St. Lawrence. His FamilySearch life sketch credits him with the first rough chart of the river. In 1635 and 1645 he was given 32 acres on the heights above Quebec. According to The Canadian Encyclopedia, that land overlapped the site of the 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham, where Britain took Quebec, and the battlefield was presumably named after him. The same source says his son Eustache, born in 1621, was the first French-Canadian boy born in Quebec. When Samuel de Champlain died at the end of 1635, his will left 600 livres to Abraham and another 600 to Abraham's daughter, Marguerite.

166510th great-granduncle
Germain Morin, the first Canadian-born priest
Hélène Desportes's son Germain was baptized in Quebec in 1642. In 1659, while he was still a teenager at the Jesuit college, Bishop Laval gave him the tonsure and minor orders, the first ceremony of its kind in Canada. He was ordained in 1665, and the Dictionary of Canadian Biography calls him the first Canadian to be ordained a priest. He went on to serve parishes along the St. Lawrence and was named a canon in 1697.

Jean Cadieux, the voyageur's last song
Jean Cadieux was a coureur des bois, an independent fur trader. In May 1709, on the Ottawa River, he drew an Iroquois war party away from his companions so they could escape down the rapids. He died alone on Calumet Island. Legend says he was found holding a sheet of birch bark with his own death song written on it. That song, La Complainte de Cadieux, opens with "Petit rocher de la haute montagne", and singers still record it today.

Where they came from
Northern France: Honfleur, Dieppe and Rouen
About 690 of my ancestors were born in Europe and crossed to North America. Almost all of them, about 660, came from France, most of them in the middle and late 1600s. If my family has a home region in Europe, it's Normandy, on the Channel coast of northern France. About 115 of my immigrant ancestors were born there, more than in any other region.
Normandy is also where many of their crossings began. The Hébert family sailed from Honfleur in 1617. The first families Robert Giffard recruited for his seigneury at Beauport left from Dieppe in 1634, my ancestors among them. In the 1660s, several of my King's Daughters crossed on ships out of Dieppe. Again and again, my family's story in North America starts on this stretch of coast.
About 22 of my immigrant ancestors came from England and settled in the English colonies, most of them in New England. The rest are a small, surprising mix: two Dutch settlers in New Jersey, three Swiss, a German from Hamburg, the salt smuggler from Liège, and Joseph Serrand, nicknamed "l'Espagnol", who was born in Valladolid, Spain, and died in Montreal.
There's a nice symmetry, too. Normandy takes its name from the Norsemen who settled it under Rollo, and Rollo turns up again in the Viking legend further down this page.

Firsts, captives and a smuggler
1636
Canada's oldest surviving marriage contract
On 27 July 1636, in Robert Giffard's house at Beauport, my 12th great-grandparents Robert Drouin and Anne Cloutier signed it. No notary was present, so another 12th great-grandfather, the mason Jean Guyon, wrote it out. The bride was only about ten, so the church wedding waited until July 1637. Her father, Zacharie Cloutier, a master carpenter, turns up in my tree eight separate times. (Dictionary of Canadian Biography)

King's Daughters
134 of my ancestors were King's Daughters, young women Louis XIV sent to New France to marry settlers (more). Another 51 were soldiers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment.
1723
The salt smuggler
My 6th great-grandfather, Nicolas Realle, appears on a 1723 Paris list of salt smugglers sentenced to exile in the colonies. He was in Quebec by 1724.
1689–1704
Taken from New England
Three of my 8th great-grandmothers were English colonists carried to Canada in raids, and all three stayed. Marie Elisabeth Price was marched on snowshoes from Deerfield, Massachusetts, in 1704, less than three months after her wedding. Katherine Stevens, taken at Pemaquid, Maine, chose to stay when Boston sent a ship for the captives in 1695. Marie Anne Heard, taken from Dover, New Hampshire, at about ten, was adopted by a Montreal family and later had eight children.
Heard's great-grandfather, Reverend Joseph Hull, had his own trouble with authority: Plymouth Colony excommunicated him in 1642 and issued a warrant for his arrest if he kept preaching.
1689
The Lachine massacre
On the night of 4 August 1689, Iroquois raided Lachine, near Montreal. My ancestor Charlotte Roussel, a King's Daughter, was taken, along with her husband, Pierre Gautier. He came home more than eight years later. Her profile says she probably died in captivity.
1678
The midwife-surgeon
My 8th great-grandmother, Magdeleine Rapin, was born at Lachine in 1678, eleven years before the raid. Her profile records her as a sage-femme et chirurgienne, a midwife and surgeon. Her father, André Rapin, is recorded as a surgeon, and her mother, Clémence Jarry, as a midwife.

Am I Nordic?
According to my family tree, I descend from King Ragnar Lodbrok of Sweden and Denmark, the Viking king of the Norse sagas. The line runs through his son, King Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye of Denmark, and through Rollo of Normandy, Count of Rouen, the Viking who founded Normandy.
Nobody can prove it, the dates are shaky (the tree has Ragnar living to 105), and the sagas it rests on mix legend with history. But it's a great story, and it fits the family: Normandy, where more of my immigrant ancestors were born than anywhere else, takes its name from the Norsemen who settled it under Rollo (see Northern France, above).

57th great-grandfather, says the tree
Related to Jesus?
And now for the most ambitious branch of my family tree. According to FamilySearch, my 57th great-grandfather is Joses ben Joseph, named in the Gospel of Mark as one of the brothers of Jesus. His FamilySearch profile calls him a half brother.
The route is 59 generations long. It runs through Reverend Joseph Hull, a rebellious English minister in 1600s New England, then a long line of medieval Welsh families and some early kings of Dumnonia. It then reaches a run of ancestors with names like "Jasna the Philistine", most of whom have no sources at all.
So am I related to Jesus? My family tree seems to think so. I'm keeping an open mind, but I wouldn't bet on it. The full line is below.
First cousin, 16 times removed, says the tree
Cousin Jacques?
My tree makes Jacques Cartier, the explorer who landed at Gaspé in 1534 and gave Canada its name, my first cousin, 16 times removed. His grandparents, Jean-Jacques Cartier and Guillemette Baudouin of Saint-Malo, appear in my tree as my 16th great-grandparents, and one profile calls my 14th great-grandmother, Françoise Cartier, his cousin.
The link is shaky. Several people on it have no sources, and the tree mixes up Saint-Malo in Brittany, where Cartier came from, with a Saint-Malo in Burgundy. Still, I like the idea that my family was poking around here 72 years before Louis Hébert.

Distant cousins
Famous cousins?
Two father-and-son pairs in my tree share their names: Zacharie Cloutier (1590–1677) and his son Zacharie (1617–1708), and Jean Guyon (1592–1663) and his son Jean (1619–1694). I descend from all four, and so do a lot of well-known people. According to genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner (Irish Examiner), Queen Camilla and Madonna both descend from the younger Zacharie Cloutier, and Camilla and Céline Dion both descend from the younger Jean Guyon. Perche-Québec, a site on emigrants from the Perche, traces Justin Trudeau, Stéphane Dion, Hillary Clinton, Jack Kerouac, Angelina Jolie, Jim Carrey, Justin Bieber, Ryan Gosling and even Pope Leo XIV back to Perche pioneers, and says Zacharie Cloutier is an ancestor of most of them.
Profiles in my own tree add Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Dionne quintuplets and, through the Connecticut settler Hannah Whitlock, George W. Bush. Enjoy these as fun rather than fact.
The tree has about 1.9 million separate lines from me to Charlemagne, because thirty-odd generations back the same people turn up again and again. Charlemagne's profile once had a name beginning "LEAVE THIS FILE ALONE. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME", which tells you how often these famous profiles get fought over.
