Before the King's Daughters were the Filles a Marier or marrigable girls. They came to New France between 1634-1662. In all there were 262 of them. Again these were not ladies of ill repute but adventurous pioneer women. They all have there own stories . They came to hopefully marry and make a life for themselves. New France was desperate to keep men here but with the lack of woman to settle with them were leaving to return to France.
