Also, most early male French settlers had "country wives", aka Native side-pieces they had families with during the first few generations of colonization. New France had few females, never mind single, fertile females. Then the King of France began an migrant program for young, single French women to migrate to New France. It wasn't the same for other European nations. But New France was much harsher than New England, or the other colonies, so it couldn't attract women.
Anyway, if you are descended from early Quebecois, you likely have Native blood.
