Taking a Walk On The Streets of Poitiers France Where The Jesmer’s Came From
Taking a Walk On The Streets of Poitiers France Where The Jesmer’s Came From in 1758.
The original immigrant ancestor for the Jesmer family was Louis Laurent Duhault dit Jasmin. He took the nine week voyage to Montreal in 1758. He was a farmer. He married a girl in Montreal. The following some street shots and some old maps of Poitiers, the main city in the region where he came from. I hope that these give you a sense of what he experienced when he visited the “big city”.
