It looks like his mother's name was Giard, not Girard.

This record gives his date of birth. It is on the next image. Disregard the Ireland birthplace for parents, the image shows Canada.

Rhode Island State Census, 1905

I believe this is them with a really bad transcription by the census taker due to misinterpretation of French names.

The one listed as Otoan is probably Anthony ( a mishearing/mistranscription of Antoine).

    "Samma" would appear to be Samuel Pierre (aka Peter), the informant on Maximillian's death record.

    Here is Maximillian living with his daughter's family (Rosanna in the above 1875 Census record) in 1910.

    Awesome. Last name Giard makes more sense. I can't read these documents. I had issue with the Irland info.

    I was looking at the information you have on Max's profile. I'm having trouble following the names that you've got on it.

    On his profile, you mention an 1880 census, which I assume is this one. This record lacks a son named Anthony, who according to the profile created for Anthony Grenier was born in 1873, so he should be in the census. There is an Albert in this census, but I'm unsure if they're one in the same - there's no evidence one way or another as of this moment, but if they are indeed one in the same, you should indicate such on Anthony's profile.

    Next is his parents. While his presumed death record matches in terms of the year born (1833), his wife's name is given as Marie Desfries - is this an inaccurate transcription of a French name, or someone else altogether? Additionally, the mother on this record is given as Flovie, which is not a name I see listed on the profile you've created for Max or his presumed mother's profile.

    Either way, a source for Max you should include is his Petition for Naturalization Index Card.

    As for getting his birth certificate, your best bet is probably to get a copy of the baptismal certificate. I found an image on Ancestry that a user put up of his baptism. Baptism at Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec; baptismal record 114; it's in the Drouin Collection on Ancestry, which you'll need an account to see.

    To get a copy of his birth certificate, you'll need to look through the resources available on the Canadian government's website. His birth date is before 1900, so it will be a copy and/or transcribed record of his baptism.

    Please make sure to add sources to the profiles you're working on, preferably from free resources like FamilySearch, so everyone who finds the profiles you make at a later date can follow along!

    The posted document on line 71 shows Maximilian and Zenaid along with the Anthony's wife's parents . This document  References two generations of my mothers grandparents 

    https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/2495/40143_263838__0030-00004/6052629?backurl=https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/10087541/person/230108726861/facts/citation/762017311479/edit/record

    The 1900 census shows Anthony at age 27  is it possible to have multiple Maximilians born the same year?  

    https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=7602&h=69308147&ssrc=pt&tid=10087541&pid=230109869089&usePUB=true

    I have come across this birth record, but the absence of the parents made me question it.
    I don't recognise the death record. I don't think that has anything t do with Max.
    Then perhaps the "Albert" in 1880 is miswritten? It would be an important thing to put in Anthony's profile, along with the 1880 census itself.

    As for the death record, where are you getting the 1911 death and place from on his profile, then? This is an example of why sourcing is so very important!

    I need to verify the death. The entire point of me posting this question is to verify what my cousins posted on Ancestry. I have multiple trees saying the same thing. The information is in french so I'm at a loss. My correspondence between them can take days to answer one question. 

    I have exhausted my search and decided  to ask here, because I know the importance of documentation. 

    no such thing as a ''birth certificate'' in this era, we have baptisms for the Catholics, entered data on the profiles already.

    Hi Joe, found his baptism and marriage, entered pertinent data with source on profiles for both him and his wife, correcting place names to reflect era.  My source is with membership, (Drouin Institute) but I'm sure with the data entered you can find more if you wish to.
