Notes:

• Demography of Huguenots of New-France
  

• I have identified, at the present time, 328 Huguenots who stayed in New-France. We have at least an indication that they have been in New-France for a certain period of time. That number is probably far from the entire picture, it will take more researches, mainly in French protestants Temples to have a more complete picture.

• About 50% of them settled in New-France. We count 277 men for 51 women..

• 156 Huguenots were or get married.

• For their occupations, we have 69 merchants, 24 craftsman, 52 soldiers, 15 sailors and 32 farmers (that number is probably greater, but we don’t have the information).

• Huguenots were coming mainly from the South-West of France: Aunis, Saintonge and Poitou. The other important region was Normandy.
