ArchivesRe: What is the meaning of Exilda?
in reply to a message by thegriffon
Is it possible that the name has Native American origin? I myself am Quebecois and our history is deeply intertwined with the Indigenous populations. There was a large amount of intermarrying between the two cultures.
This suggestions comes from my own research into tracing my family lineage. I have an ancestor who was Algonquin but was baptized as a catholic before her marriage to a Frenchman. Her name, as listed in the registrar, has "Exilda Kilde" listed between the first and last that she went by for the rest of her life.
