On 21 May 2023 Simeon Breault wrote on Denevers-89:

I'm not sure how it would be done; however, maybe her "family-name-at-birth" should be changed to "Boisvert"? Her paternal grandfather was Etienne Denevers dit Boisvert. His descendants sometimes called themselves "Denevers", and sometimes called themselves "Boisvert." In her baptism record, her two marriage records, and her burial record, Marie-Louise's family name is given as "Boisvert".

name corrected per baptism, which actually reads Boivert.  Beware PRDH ''standardizations'', which we do not use.  We go with original records.
