This profile, result of an unsourced Gedcom download, seems like a conflation of 2 people. Since the precise date of death and family names correspond to the date and names on this profile https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cyr-599, and even though the place of death is different (no burial record in Quebec was found for this person), will propose a merge. Thanks for the research Julie!
Removing Francoise Melanson as her mother. The Pierre Cyr who is the father on this profile isn't the Cyr that Francoise married. She married Jean Cyr per DGFA. Also the Marie-Anne that Francoise & Jean gave birth to was born about 1714 and married Pierre Cormier dit Rossignol.
