Hello

This website will help.

You will find - Aveux = Oath of Allegiance
It also explains Seigneurial Records.

Feif is a feudal estate.

Seigneurie is a French term for manor. The lords of manors were called seigneurs. The seigniorial system was a method of landholding used in New France from the 1600s to the 1800s.
