The Girouard Family Genealogy

The family database was built from genealogical data originally compiled by Mike Girouard at girouard.org, supplemented with records from FamilySearch. Full credit for the foundational research belongs to him. Corrections and additions are welcome — see Privacy for contact information.

The family database holds individuals descended from François Girouard and Jeanne Aucoin, and the families they married into, from Port Royal in the 1650s through the present day. The count and date below reflect the current database.

François Girouard (born c. 1621, Vienne, France) is the founding ancestor of virtually all Girouards in North America. His descendant tree on WikiTree — the free, collaborative world family tree — numbers 170,213 people as of 2024. View the full descendant tree on WikiTree →
