Francoise de Picard and Madame de La Barre

François de Picard (Right) and Madame de La Barre (left)

Francoise de Picard was an ancient noble in 16th century France.

He and Madame de La Barre were the founders of the Picard family line, and drawings of them are on the first page of the Picard family album. He was a distant ancestor of Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard. (Star Trek: Generations)

This and the family tree in the album imply that they are the farthest back recorded Picard or La Barre known.
This information comes from the Picard family album and was not seen onscreen.
The name Francoise (properly spelled Françoise) is actually a female name, the correct male form being François. However, it's unknown whether Francoise was the result of a misunderstanding or was simply a typo.
