      GUILLAUME BONHOMME Status : Immigrant:Birth : Vers 1643 v. et ev. la rochelle, aunis (ar. la rochelle, charente-maritime) {{PRDH|Pionnier|7293}} Guillaume Bonhomme
      Selon le PRDH il serait né à La Rochelle. Il y a un laps de temps entre 1642 et 1648 où son père Nicolas ne figure sur aucun acte religieux dans la colonie, sa mère non plus.Quebec, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1997 - Drouin IGD PRDH met aussi son frère Ignace né à La Rochelle, quoique les noms Bonhomme et Beaupré n'ont pas été relevés par Archange Godbout parmi les pionniers de La Rochelle[http://numerique.banq.qc.ca/patrimoine/details/52327/2276332?docsearchtext=Archange%20Godbout%20La%20Rochelle Rapport de l'Archiviste de la province de Québec, 1970 ''Familles venues de La Rochelle en Canada'' Père Archange Godbout (débute pg 119)].
      Selon Marcel Trudel, le couple Bonhomme-Goujet passe en France vers 1642, à La Rochelle, ils en reviennent en ou avant 1645 avec 2 enfants, Guillaume et Ignace.''Catalogue des immigrants 1632-1662'': pgs 95, 97, 151, 152; Marcel Trudel, Éd Hurtubise HMH 1983 ISBN 2-89045-579-3 (hors impression / out of print)
      ''According to PRDH he was born in La Rochelle, France. There is a gap between 1642 and 1648 where neither his father Nicolas nor his mother appear in any religious act in the colony. PRDH also puts his brother Ignace as born in La Rochelle, although neither the name Bonhomme nor Beaupré have been found by Archange Godbout among the pioneers from La Rochelle. Per Marcel Trudel, the couple Bonhomme-Goujet went to France around 1642, in La Rochelle, from which they came back in or before 1645 with 2 children, Guillaume and Ignace.''
