Below is a list of the first settlers who established themselves at Port Royal according to the Census of 1671 sorted alphabetically by the husband. The older ones certainly knew of Samuel de Champlain and the younger ones were only a generation away from him. Without him, they would not have settled the area. Champlain died on December 25, 1635 and had made many trips between France, Quebec and Acadia by sea. Maybe you can claim several of these as your ancestor. The "Walks With Champlain" project is a devices used to interest people to seach for their roots in this Quadricentennial Year 2009 To learn more about them on other sites, you may click on each name - both first name and surname.
