Often the name of a ship and passenger lists are available for review as historical documentation of immigration. My ancestors left LaRochelle on the Cat de Hollande in the mid-1600's. Searching on that ship name landed me at: http://racinesrochelaises.free.fr/cat.html ......a wonderful Canadian site about the ship and its passengers. Some pictures of the Cat or a similar vessel and even the offices of the notary who supported the out-migration documentation.
Passenger lists are available at: http://www.migrations.fr/departure_of_la_rochelle.htm We will follow this journey and the journey of the families involved as well as the journeys of Samuel de Champlain as part of this blogging effort.
