FRANCOIS LEBER’S brother was JACQUES LEBER DIT LAROSE (1633–1706). JACQUES LEBER was a business partner in the earliest fur trading post at Montreal with CHARLES LE MOYNE SIEUR DE LONGUEUIL (1626-1685), who is also his brother-in-law.

MARIE LE BER married FRANCOIS BOURASSA (1659-1708). Their daughter, MARIE ELISABETH BOURASSA (1695-1766), married JACQUES PINSONNEAULT DIT LAFLEUR (1682-1773). They were early pioneers in La Prairie de la Magdeleine.

MARIE ELISABETH BOURASSA’S brother was RENE BOURASSA DIT LARONDE (1688-1778) a famous fur trader who traveled with PIERRE GAULTIER DE LA VERENDRYE.
