You have done well in tracing back to our most recent common ancestors, Charles Fortier and Elisabeth Jalbert.The common ancestor of most Fortiers from Canada were Antoine and his father who arrived in Canada in the 1660s.The website of the Fortier family association (Association des Familles Fortier, Inc.) lists the first five generations in full.Pierre Noel, one of Antoine's many sons, heads family group no. 6 in the Association. You should check that on the website:
www.familles.fortier.net
If you can get to Quebec on Saturday, July 15, you can meet lots of Fortiers at the annual reunion in Ste-Marie, Beauce, Quebec.More information is on the website.
The Vice-President of the association, Alain Fortier, is also a descendant of Charles and Elisabeth Jalbert.
