Note: he LDS microfilms of 9 parishes in the Eastern Townships (Richilieu Valley) of Quebec for the early and mid 1800's and extracted all of the sacraments that involved a U.S resident...this might have been as broad as John Doe "des Etats-Unis". They were then published as a series of articles in the now-defunct "Lost in Canada" published by Joy Reisinger, CG. Roger Lawrence, PhD, co-founder and many times past president of ACGS, Manchester, NH which is arguably the best Franco gen. soc. in the US, indexed them but made only one copy which I found in the ACGS library during my very recent trip to New England. With Roger's encouragement I bootlegged the copy when the library closed at 9 PM the Sat of the annual ACGS conference, spent 2 hours at Kinko's copying the bound 208 pages, and returned the book to the shelves when the library opened at 9 AM Sun morning. Subsequently I told Joy what I did but Virginia doesn't answer e-mail from anybody. So you have to consider this a secondary source but you have all the details you need to go to the primary source. My product is in English but I believe some of the primary records were in French. All of the following are from the records of Sacre Coeur de Jesus, Stanstead, PQ which you'll find about 2 miles from Derby/Derby Line, VT and maybe 15 from Irasburg, VT. To save my fingers, P = PROVENCHER throughout, no variances like your moniker. It is apparent from other names that Virginia, Joy or Roger copied the name as it appeared in the parish records..and if it was a badly mutilated name those folks put the right name in parenthesis. That didn't happen with your folks. 1. Helen P, of the legitimate marriage of Norbert, cabinet-maker & Julie SABOURIN of Derby, US. born 15 Feb current, bapt 25 Feb 1849. Godparents: John BATLE & Anne BATLE. 2. Louis P, of the legitimate marriage of Norbert, farm laborer & Julie SABOURIN of Derby, State of VT, born 7 cur rent, baptized 14 Feb 1851. Godp: Jos. BERUBE & Josephte P 3. Marie-Elizabeth P, of the legitimate marriage of Paul, farm laborer & Olive BELAN of Irasburgh, State of VT, born 19 Apr last, baptized 3 May 1852. Godp: Moise P & Marguerite BELAN. 4. Moise P, minor son of Alexis domiciled at Irasburgh, County of Orleans, State of VT and of the deceased Angele COTE, married Olive PRINCE, minor daughter of Jean, farm laborer domiciled in County of Orleans and of the deceased Lucie POIRIER 3 May 1851. Witnesses: Leon TRUDELLE, Francois LABREQUE, Bazile LAJEUNESSE. 5. Paul P domiciled at Irasburgh, State of VT, son of Alexis and of the deceased Angelique COTE married Olive BELAN of Irasburgh, State of VT, daughter of Toussaint & Isabelle TURCOTTE 8 Jun 1852. Witnesses: Jean PRINCE, Moise P, Benoni DEMERS, Francois LABREQUE. Comment from me: Isabelle=Elizabeth, so Marie-Elizabeth, the #3 infant, might have been named after her maternal grandmother, Isabelle in #5 Let me know if any of the above isn't crystal clear to you. . Jerry Margaret Bailaw b. 1 Jan 1828 in Quebec and died 20 Jan 1910. She married Robert Sanderson. Here we go. But first, the source. Virginia E.
