Research Notes

The date of death 15 October 1784 in Carleton belongs to her sister Jeanne Dugas (abt.1700-1784). (DGFA p. 569 entry for Jeanne Dugas). The following websites and family trees do not mention a date or location of death for Marie Dugas:

• PRDH: Research Programme in Historical Demography (membership): Individu: 3765623
• Karen Theriot Reader Page for Marie Dugas at Geneanet
• Nos Origines

Ancestry family trees mention this date for both Anne and Jeanne, including 25 October 1784 giving as only source, not at all a reliable one, Netherlands, GenealogieOnline Trees Index, 1000-2015.

Searched the Carleton parish registers in Family Search and could not find anything for those dates. Cormier-1939 16:57, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
