There is an approved merge for this profile, the actual name of the man was NOT Demers but Dumets (with all the variants), from all evidence found for him, including his baptism.
WikiTree profile: Jean Dumets

Danielle --

I just unlocked this. That was my mistake. Sorry!
thank you, please lock it up again so he doesn't get converted to the wrong name in future, all fixed up now.
re-locked.
If it's going to be locked, it needs to be managed by a project. So, I just added Quebecois as one of the managers and moved all seemingly inactive managers to the Trusted List.
Thanks Julie! Since it had been locked before, I didn't even think of checking that it belonged to a project!
I am afraid he has too many paternal ancestors to be honest, though. All unsourced. I suppose my position allows me to establish a clear guideline about totally unsourced ancestors of that era (especially if the information appears to come exclusively from the American continent concerning ancestors at least two generations away from the migrant). Does it ?
have source for him up to paternal grandparents, that's all Isabelle
Ah, thanks Danielle. I'm looking for ways to politely "cut" above the last known generation because these unsourced lines are really a problem.

I'm looking at the ancestors of Langlois-52 (Guillaume Langlois, father of Noël), and find that the people set as his parents really existed in the 18th century in region Champagne, not found his grandparents yet, but his great-grandparents actually married at Cancale in 1798 in 1800, and I have found the marriage of his great-grandmother's parents in Champagne as well, but in 1784.

Go figure.
oops, sounds like one of my other ancestresses, from Ancestry there was one of her married before she was born.  :D Finally got that resolved on here.
Ooh! Isn't this magic?

In the case of Guillaume's "ancestors" the dates are correct, I found sources, it's just that the family links are wrong (invented) and the dates were probably twisted afterwards to make the family links look plausible.

I haven't cut the connections yet (they have entertainment value) but will disconnect them soon.
lol, let the others in on this, may not be following this thread which wasn't about that family.
