Fille du Roi Master File
I've compiled a matrix of Fille du Roi ("Kings Daughters") for my own research, to help sort through all the name barriers (variations in spelling, naming conventions, multiple women with the same name, etc), and thought I would share the results of that work for those who may encounter some of the same challenges that I did when looking to see which of them are ancestors to our own family.
The attached document (in excel format) includes 700+ Fille du Roi, most of their parents, and as many of their husbands as I could readily document. This comprises roughly 3900 individuals and 1650 or so families. No children of the FDR are included.
I also listed PRDH#'s for each woman so that you can more readily find additional information on them and/or the source documents. (PRDH is a Drouin "registration" number for their data cards). Virtually all the information here was compiled from publicly available sources and/or adheres to terms and conditions of sources from which information was derived (specifically, PRDH and several online Canadian genealogical organizations).
This is NOT intended as a starting point in your research. It's merely a method to help identify whether a woman in your tree is a FDR by reconciling with her parents and spouses.
I named the files "Almost" because although I've checked the work thoroughly, there will always be a possibility of a typo or misplaced individual. If something should arise, please feel free to contact me.
