  • Notes 
    • Marie Radégonde Lambert, married name: Blanchard
      French: Marie Radégonde Lambert
      Birthdate: circa 1621 to 1629
      Death: 1686 to 1693

      Radegonde?s DNA

      Several descendants of Radegonde Lambert through all females have had their mitochondrial DNA tested. Mitochondrial DNA is passed from the mother to both genders of their children, but only females pass it on.

      In Radegonde?s case, her DNA, for several years, also proved as puzzling as the records regarding her birth and mother?s ethnicity. No one but Radegonde?s descendants seems to match her DNA. It?s like Radegonde wanted to play a joke on all of her descendants. And a fine job she did too!

      Fortunately, that question has now been resolved, and Radegonde?s DNA, haplogroup X2b4, which is exceedingly rare ? as in chicken?s teeth rare ? is found only in Europeans, to date, and not in any Native people.

      Radegonde?s and Jehan Blanchard's children

      Karen Theroit Reader provides Radegonde?s children, as shown below. In two census records, in both 1671 and 1678, Radegonde and her husband, Jean Blanchard, are living next door to their son, Guilliame Blanchard who was age 35 in 1686.

      Madeleine Blanchard born about 1643, probably in Port Royal, died 1678-1684 and married Michel Richard. She had 10 children.
      Anne Blanchard was born about 1645, probably in Port Royal, died after 1714 in Beaubassin and married first to Francois Guerin, having 5 children, then to Pierre l?aine Gaudet, having 9 children.
      Martin Blanchard was born about 1647, probably in Port Royal and died after July 4, 1718 in Cobeguit. He married first to Marie Francoise Le Blanc having 3 children, then to Marguerite Guilbeau having 8 children.
      The three children, above, would have been the three that were married by 1671. The three below would have been the children still at home.

      Guillaume Blanchard, born about 1650, probably in Port Royal, died before October 18, 1717 and married Huguette Gougeon, having 12 children.
      Bernard Blanchard born about 1653, probably in Port Royal and died after the 1671 census but before the 1686 census.
      Marie Blanchard born about 1656, probably in Port Royal, died after 1701, married to Pierre le jeune Gaudet, having 10 children.

    • Radegonde Lambert was born in France; parents unknown.

      Radegonde Lambert Was 21 Years & Jean Blanchard was 31 years old when whey got married around 1642. They were already married when they arrived in Port Royal, Acadia, Nova Scotia, Canada.

      Radegonde and Jean had 3 girls and 3 boys:

      Madeleine Blanchard - 1643 - 1683
      Anne Blanchard - 1645 - 1714
      Martin Blanchard - 1647 - 1717
      Guillaume Blanchard - 1650 - 1714
      Bernard Blanchard - 1652 - 1686
      Marie Blanchard - 1656 - 1697

      1671 Census:
      Jean Blanchard is 60, married to Radegonde. They have 6 children.

      There is no mention of Radegonde Lambert or her husband after the 1686 Census & there is no mention of them in the 1693 Census, so it is assumed that they both died between those years.
