Thomas J. Laforest
Our French-Canadian Ancestors : Volume VIII, Page 76


"Jean l'âiné, born in c1656, married first to Francoise, daughter of Etienne Hébert, who gave him 19 children, including seven sons who married into the Bézier dit Joan dit Larivière, Forest, Levron, Thibodeau, Soulard, Bertrand, and Girouard families.
