The Anglais family's name is derived from that coastal landscape of Medieval France known as Normandy. Their name originated with an early member who was a Norman resident of English extraction. The name Langlois refers to the Angles, a race who once inhabited England, and after whom the country is named. Rendered l'Anglais in modern French, the name essentially means "the English". 1 Early Origins of the Anglais familyThe surname Anglais was first found in Normandy (French: Normandie), the former Duchy of Normandy, where this distinguished family held a family seat at Motteville, and were members of the aristocracy of that region. Noel Langlois, born in 1606, was a fisherman and pilot from France that settled in Beauport, Quebec in 1634. He married Françoise Garnier on 25th July 1634 and together they had ten children. After the death of his first wife he married Marie Crevet on 27th July 1666. He died in Beauport on 15th July 1684. Noel is recorded as the first ancestor of the Langlois family. 2 Early History of the Anglais familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Anglais research.

In the treaty of Utrecht, the Acadians were ceded by France to Britain in 1713. In 1755, 10,000 French Acadians refused to take an oath of allegiance to England and were deported. They found refuge in Louisiana. In 1793, the remaining French in these provinces came under British rule. Meanwhile, in Quebec, the French race flourished, founding in Lower Canada, one of the two great solitudes which became Canada.
