connecting past and present 401 years later

“Old Québec is more than a protected historic district, it’s a piece of history that spans across North America. This is where Samuel de Champlain settled and where France made a play for the colonization of a continent; where the first woman, Marie Rollet, along with her husband Louis Hébert and their three children became the first family to settle in 1617.

And this is where Marie Rollet and Louis Hébert’s descendants, Rita Daley and her daughters Paula Daley and Michelle Archambault, arrived 401 years later to learn about their French Canadian roots.”
