Notes:

• Fate of Huguenots in New-France
  

• Many of the Huguenots were hiding their religious origins, it is one of the reasons why it is hard to have exact figures. Anyway, the clergy and mainly the Jesuits were trying to detect the Huguenots. When they were sure they make them abjure publicly their faith. Sometimes they used a softer way was to have them receive the rites of Confirmation. So we find many people receiving confirmation at an adult age.

• We don't have proof that protestants celebration took place in New-France. So another way to recuperate the Huguenots was to have them go to the Mass, to get married at the Catholic church.

• Some Huguenots got fines to have break some regulations against them, we know that one Huguenot, Daniel Voil, has been sentence to death for crime of heresy and witchcraft. Orders have been given to permit dragonade in New-France, but their no evidence that they took place.

• We saw before that certain regulations against the Huguenots were in force. One of them was the exclusion from certain trades. For example a Huguenot can not be a surgeon or a solicitor.

• Huguenots who refused to abjure in danger of death can see their possession confiscate if their regain wealth. Some Huguenots were buried in a field near Hôtel-Dieu of Quebec.
