Archiving websites that mention the 100% pure fictional character François Ouellet of France.
There was no such person. The person the character appears to be based on is a François Housalet or Hoûalet who married Elisabeth / Isabelle Barre in St-Jacques-du-Hautpas, Paris, France.
The couple was without children, they left a will with no heirs.
They are not (other than as a work of fiction) the parents of René Ouellet born about 1649 in St-Jacques-du-Hautpas, Paris, France, also a 100% pure fictional character, who is based on a person who signed a marriage contract in 1679 as René Auclaire dit Houelet.
René Ouellet (or Auclaire for that matter) does not appear on any known ship's passenger list, nor is he found on the 1666 census for the Isle d'Orléans.
People are advised to do their own research and not believe what appears on the web (even in supposedly reputable online sources) or printed in books: without source documentation, it's fiction or a legend, not history.
A claim may be made that these are "ancestors in the heart", that they are a kind of spiritual ancestor; well that doesn't make them real persons, they are still fictional no matter how many may want to believe in them. In the meantime true relations who walked the earth are being neglected and ignored.
One can add to, comment on, and/or read list in progress here, there's a lot of sites for Ouellet / Ouellette in North America that now claim descendancy from these fictional characters.
