Les Girouard en Acadie ont pour ancêtre François, né en France vers 1621, qui arrive en Acadie vers 1640. François épouse vers 1647 Jeanne Aucoin, de qui il eut cinq enfants, dont Jacques (ou Jacob), né vers 1648. Ce dernier épouse peu avant le recensement de 1671 Marguerite Gautrot, fille de François Gautrot et d'Edmée Lejeune. Nous comptons au moins quatorze enfants dans la famille de Jacques et de Marguerite. Pierre, leur deuxième fils, voit le jour à Port-Royal vers 1673. Il se marie, en premières noces vers 1697 à Marie Comeau, fille de Jean Comeau et de Françoise Hébert, qui lui donne six enfants. Neuf autres sont issus du second mariage de Pierre, survenu à Grand-Pré le 14 novembre 1709 avec Marie Doiron, fille de Jean Doiron et de Marie Trahan. Louis Girouard, né à Grand-Pré vers 1716, est au nombre des enfants du deuxième lit. Vers 1736, Louis épouse Marie Thibodeau, fille de Charles Thibodeau et de Françoise Comeau. Nous retrouvons cette famille à Malpèque, à l'île Saint-Jean, en 1752. Après la chute de Louisbourg, ils se réfugient à la baie des Chaleurs et par la suite sont emmenés comme prisonniers à Halifax, où Marie Thibodeau semble être décédée.

Biography
Flag of France
François Girouard migrated from France to Acadia.
Flag of Acadia
François GIROUARD dit La Varanne was born in France around 1621 in a location unknown to us, but some assume La Chaussée in the present day département of la Vienne (ancient province of Poitou).[1] However, there isn't any reliable source yet found to prove this claim.
François arrived in Acadie around 1640 and was married around 1647 to Jeanne Aucoin, daughter of Martin Aucoin and Barbe Minguet and sister of Michelle Aucoin (married to Michel Boudrot).[2] According to the 1767 depositions of their descendants, Jeanne came to Acadia with her husband François, but it's unclear if that means they were already married when they came.[3] He arrived in Acadie with d'Aulnay de Charnisay aboard the St. Jehan, as shown on the La Rochelle Admiralty Records. (needs clarification, he is not on the ship list of 1636 posted here Please post a source if one is available. NOTE: Could not find any other ship lists from that era.
Between about 1648 and 1660, the couple had five children: Jacques (dit Jacob), Marie, Marie-Madeleine, Germain, and Anne (Anne-Charlotte). [4]
Around the time of their daughter Marie-Madeleine's birth (1654), Port-Royal was captured by Robert Sedgwick, who led 300 British soldiers and volunteers.[5] Although the commander of Port Royal left for France, most Acadians, including the Girouards remained in Acadia. They were permitted to retain their land and belongings and were guaranteed religious freedom. Dunn[5] describes life in Acadia during the 16 years of nominal British rule:
"During the years of British rule, most of the Port-Royal population moved upriver away from the town. Using the agricultural practices initiated under D'Aulnay, the Acadians dyked and cultivated extensive salt marshes along the river and raised livestock. Through necessity, residents had reached an accommodation with New England traders who had become their sole source for the goods that they could not produce themselves... New England traders exchanged their goods for Acadian produce and furs... There were seventy to eighty families in the Port-Royal area in 1665."
When their youngest child Anne was 7 years old (1667), the British had ceded Acadie to France and French settlement resumed.[6]
At the time of the first Acadian census in 1671, fifty-year-old François, listed as a plowman (laboureur), and forty-year-old Jeanne were living with their 5 children. Six arpents of their land were cultivated and they had 16 cattle, 6 sheep.[7] By 1678, their farmland had increased to 15 arpents and they owned 18 head of cattle. [8] They were counted again in the 1686 census.[9]
The family homestead was located about 15 km east of the Fort on the south shore of the Dauphin (Anapolis) River near present-day Tupperville Nova Scotia.[10][11]
François died before the census of 1693. [4] [12]

? Karen Theriot Reader François dit la Varanne at Geneanet citing:
Arsenault, H&G, p. 567 (Port Royal) : "Spelled GIROUARD, but under variants also listed GIROIR. Born in 1621, doubtlessly originally from La Chausse'e, department of Vienne in the Loudun region of France (footnote cites Massignon). He arrived in Acadia around 1640, married around 1647."

? White, Stephen A. Origins of the Pioneers of Acadia. According to the Depositions Made by Their Descendants at Belle- Ile-en-Mer in 1767
Stephen White] "GIROUARD dit LA VARANNE, François, came from France with his wife Jeanne Aucoin, according to two depositions, one made by his great-grandson Pierre Richard (Doc. in?d., Vol. II, p. 191), and another made by Louis Courtin, husband of his great-great-granddaughter Marie-Joséphe Martin (ibid., Vol. III, p. 27). Both of these depositions erroneously call the Girouard ancestor Jacques, instead of François, probably because the deponents presumed that he had borne the same first name as his elder son, to whom they were both connected. François is the name that one finds, however, in three Acadian censuses and in his younger son's marriage record in the register of Beaubassin (see DGFA-1, pp. 718-719).
