      The above website also carries the following narative about the Noel Langlois Family:

      Your Ancient Canadian Family Ties (Olivier)

      Noel Langlois, a courageous fisherman and pilot, originated from France. He was born in 1606, settled at Beauport, in 1634 and married Francoise Garnier at Quebec on 25 July 1634. They had ten children. Noel is the first ancestor of this large family that is known today under the names of Langlois and Langlais. After the death of his first wife on 1 November, 1665, he married Marie Crevet, widow of Robert Caron on 27 July, 1666, at Chateau-Richer. Noel died at Beauport, on 15 July, 1684.

      French Canadian & Acadian Review Vol 9-some extracts shown here:
      P 208-209 Noel Langlois was a native of Saint-Leonardes-Parcs, Canton of Courtomer, arrondissement of Alencon, Department of Orne. This village is in Normandy, close to its boundary with Perche. Actually it is nearer to Mortagne than it is to Alencon...... It has been said that Noel Langlois was a pilot. This is unlikely, since he could neither read nor write. However, it can be said that he was a ship's carpenter, a trade that his sons Jean Langlois dit Boisverdun and Jean Langlois dit Saint-Jean both practiced. As was the custom, they undoubtedly learned this trade from their father.

      In 1665, when Noel Langlois was 59, his wife was gravely wounded. In anticipation of her death, the couple on 31 Oct, 1665, made donations of their property to their two youngest sons. Francoise Garnier died, as expected, and was buried on 1 Nov, 1665.

      In the following year, there was a family dispute over the inheritance of the 3 sons of Noel Langlois. The issue arose over the ownership of property on the Isle of Orleans. In 1663, Nicholas Juchereau de Saint-Denys cosiegneur of the fief La Chavallerie on the Isle of Orleans, son of Jean Juchereau de Maur, granted a concession of this fief to the two youngest sons of Noel Langlois. However, upon the marriage of his oldest son, Jean Langlois dit Boisverdun, to Francois-Charlotte Bellanger, in 1665, Noel Langlois purported to give this property to the young couple. This was followed by the donation of the Beauport property to the two youngest sons. The dispute was settled according to the intentions of Noel Langlois, and the property on the Isle of Orleans went to Jean Langlois dit Boisverdun.

      On 17 July, 1666, Noel Langlois married Marie Crevet, widow of Robert Caron, whom she had married in 1637 at Quebec. Noel Langlois died on July 14, 1684, at age 78 yrs

      Sources:

      1- Histoire des Canadiens-Francais par Benjamin Sulte, printed Montreal 1882.

      2- Marriage certificate.

      3-Jesuit Relations.

      Noel was recruited in France as a censituary of Robert Gifart. Noel arrrived in Quebec the 24th of June 1634 aboard the ship the Saint Jean. For the next two months they built the manor for Lord Giffard and on the day the manor was dedicated (25 July,1634) Noel married Francoise Grenier. He was given land at Beauport. After rearing ten children and the death of Francoise he remarried. The Jesuit relations book shows him as a norman pilot and also says he gave a yellow scarf to the church as a christmas offering.

      And translated from Robert Rachon`s internet site "Liste des Patronymes":

      NOEL LANGLOIS originating in Saint-Leonard of the Parks, or Saint-Leonard de Honfleur, in Normandy, Noël Langlois was born on June 4 1606, son of Guillaume Langlois and Jeanne Millette. Pilot of ship, he arrives with the first quota of colonists recruited by Robert Giffard, to be established in Beauport, in 1634. The Lord of Beauport, June 29 1634, concedes to him 300 arpents of ground, located on the seigniory of Beauport, close to the Montmorency fall.

      He marries on July 25 of the same year, at the church Our-Lady of Recouvrance, in Quebec, Francoise Garnier (Attic), of unknown origin. From their union, are born ten children. Three of his children are our direct ancestors as well as two of his sister: Francoise and Marguerite Langlois.

      Their son, Jean, our direct ancestor and carpenter of ship, takes the nickname of Boisverdun. Jean Langlois, known as Boisverdun marries in 1665, Francoise-Charlotte Belanger, born in 1650, daughter of the ancestor Francois Belanger and Marie Guyon.

      The second son, Noël Langlois, known as Traversy, born on 7 December 1651 and baptized the 24, in Quebec, chooses for partner of life in 1677, Aymee Charon, born towards 1656, daughter of the pioneers, Robert Charon and Marie Crevet. Noël Langlois becomes the first holder of the seigniory of Beauport.

      As for the four other girls of the ancestor, they wed with colonists whose names are nowadays strongly widespread.

      The first, Anne Langlois, our ancestor, born in 1637, old of hardly 12 years, marries in 1649, Jean Pelletier, known as LeGloboteur, our ancestor. Arrived with his parents, Guillaume Pelletier and Michelle Mabille, our ancestors also.

      The second, Jeanne Langlois, baptized on January 1 1643, became the wife on January 9 1656, of Rene Knight, born towards 1626, originating in Anjou.

      Then, the third, baptized on March 7 1645, Elisabeth Langlois, marries on November 6 1662, Louis Côte, born in 1635, son of the pioneers, Jean Côte and of Anne Martin.

      The fourth, Marie Langlois,our ancestor, baptized on October 18 1646, became wife on August 10 1660, to Francois Miville, said LeSuisse,our ancestor, born in 1634 at Our-Lady of Brouage, arrived with his parents, Pierre Miville, called the Swisse, and of Charlotte Maugis, also our ancestors.

      The first families installed in New-France in 1614, counted two pionnieres of the name of Langlois. Francoise Langlois, wife of Pierre Desportes, and mother of Helene Desportes, the first girl to be born in the colony (1620) and our direct ancestor.

      The second pionnier Langlois, and sister of Francoise, is Marguerite Langlois, wife of Abraham Martin, known as the Scot, our ancestors also.

      The grandmother, Francoise Garnier (Attic), dies following accidentally caused wounds, November 1 1665. She is also our ancestor. Noël Langlois remaries with the mother of her daughter-in-law Aymee Charon, Marie Crevet, July 27 1666, but without any posterity. The ancestor Noël Langlois survives until 14 July 1684, approximately 80 years of age.
