The Plaunt Family of Renfrew

A family history spanning twelve generations that reaches into the roots of Ontario, north and south. This is the story of the Plaunt (Plante) family from their original home in Larochelle France, to Quebec, and later to Ontario in a fascinating history that spans twelve generations in Canada, and transcends the cultural boundaries of the Catholic Quebecois and the Protestant settler in the Ottawa Valley in Ontario.

This story starts in France in the 1650s, and makes its way to Temiskaming District in Northern Ontario in the 1990s - 340 years of Canadian history - from the beginning of the French settlement of Canada, through the British conquest of Canada in 1759, through Confederation in 1867 to the present.
