La Société des Filles du roi et soldats du Carignan Web Forum
Honoring the memory of our courageous ancestors, the filles du roi (King's Daughters) and the soldiers of the Carignan-Salières Regiment of 17th century New France.
I was wondering is a man in the Cargignan Regiment known as Lirlande, was later to be known as Jean-Baptiste Riel dit Lirlande ( b1740, St Pierre Diocese Limerick Ireland) was that man. Not much is known about him save for the name. But how else but serving the military and then gaining a land grant from LaValtrie, and settling in Laprairie Que. Could it be that simple??? anyone...
