Hi looking for info about ships and their passagers that came to Nouvelle-France in about 1706.
I am tring to find info about Pierre Botquin dit St Andre who arrived from France as a soldier of Cie Franche de la Marine (probably about 1706)and been sent to Fort Pontchartrain of Detroit Michigan(french fur trade post).
Pierre Botquin probably signed his engagement in France (as a soldier) He was also a master joiner.
I am trying to find which ship he could have taken and from which port in France he could have left, so I can try to find his real origine in France.
