Webinar: Liane Kruger

Register now for Liane Kruger's webinar, "Daughters of the King to Mothers of a Nation" on Saturday, September 7, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. PDT, presented by the Southern California Genealogical Society.

The Filles du Roi (king's daughters) were approximately 800 young women brought to New France by the king to help increase the population. They succeeded, as the population of New France doubled in a decade. An estimated 2/3 of French Canadians are related to one of these daughters, and many Americans, including Hillary Clinton, Madonna, and Angelina Jolie. Lianne Kruger shares their history with other smaller groups, such as the Filles à Marier (marriageable girls), that the French king brought to New France. Along with their history and their children's history, Lianne reveals why they are so unique, what they all did to survive, and the problems and hardships they endured. Lianne discloses where the records and projects are available online to help you determine if you are a descendant of these "daughters" of the king.

Lianne is a professional genealogist and speaker specializing in Canada, homesteading for the U.S. and Canada, video recording family histories, and using technology in all aspects of genealogy, such as Google Maps, Google Drive, and Evernote. She earned a computer programming degree and has taught computer software courses since 1982. Lianne earned a Bachelor's Degree from Brigham Young University-Idaho with a minor in Family History Research.
