Synopsis

Explore the founding and fate of Lauzon through a detailed, curiously vivid historical chronicle.

This volume presents a factual, narrative study of the seigneurie of Lauzon, tracing its roots, key families, land grants, and the daily life of settlers from the mid‑17th century onward. Rich with names, places, and events, it blends genealogies, legal records, and parish notes to illuminate how a small coastal community grew, faced danger, and organized its society under colonial governance.

  • Discover the people who shaped Lauzon: governors, seigneurs, settlers, and the families whose alliances and marriages linked generations.
  • See how land, justice, and church life intertwined in a frontier community along the St. Lawrence and nearby shores.
  • Follow the ebb and flow of immigration, commerce, and conflict, including interactions with Indigenous groups and foreign explorers.
  • Learn how archival documents, censuses, and apocryphal accounts coexist in a long, layered history of a colonial village.
Ideal for readers of local history, genealogy, and Quebec’s colonial era, this edition offers a grounded, document‑driven portrait of a seigneurie and its people.
