Hi Paul,

I was wondering if you could find out something for me. Joseph Desroches (born 1813 in Montreal) was the son of Jean-Baptiste Desroches & Madeleine Thouin.

To make a long story short: I believe Joseph Desroches was born in 1813. But also on May 18, 1817, the same parents had a son and named him Joseph Ovide Desroches (I have a copy of Joseph Ovide Desroches' baptism from the church records of Montreal's Notre-Dame Cathedral)

Therefore, there were 2 'Josephs - but one died as a baby.

Is there a way to find out the baptism record for the Joseph Desroches that was born in 1813. Or a death record for either Joseph?

Thank you A. Stone (my last name would have been Desroches, but it was changed to 'Stone' when my Desroches relative moved to the US.

I created profiles for all of the children of Jean Baptiste Desroches (1777-) and Madeleine Thouin (1780-1824) listed at PRDH. It turns out that they actually had three sons named Joseph, Joseph Napoleon Desroches (1811-1811), Joseph (Desroches) Stone (1813-1856) and Joseph Ovide Desroches (1817-1817). The couple's last three children, all born in Montreal, died in infancy.

I also added Joseph's baptism and marriage records to his profile. Nearly all of the Quebec parish registers are available at FamilySearch, but unfortunately few of them have been indexed, so you need to search them manually. The subscription services at Drouin and PRDH provide full text searches for most of these documents, but with a bit more work you can find most of them with the free services from PRDH and FamilySearch.

I also filled in what I could for Joseph and his wife and children.

I believe my 3rd GGM, Exelia Rose (Stone) Cady (abt.1854-), may have changed her name from Desrocher (or one of the many variants) to Stone upon immigrating to America, though I can't be certain at this point as I'm not able to find her parents. At first I thought there may have been a connection, but after a bit more research I don't think so. Desroches and it's many variants were quite common surnames at the time, usually given as a dit name to masons or builders.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Paul, thank you for your work and the sources regarding Pierre Phaneuf and his parents. You corrected a long-standing family myth. great genealogy.

with appreciation, Peg Caton (Sharps-73)

My pleasure, Peg. Thank you for bringing this interesting branch of the Phaneuf tree to my attention. My maternal grandmother was a Phaneuf and I'm always happy to see another genealogist cousin working on the tree.

I would be happy to accept the Amos Newell profile and the others in my Grandmother's lineage.

Her family line in this country goes back to 1634 when Abraham Newell and his family came to Boston from Great Britain.

Paul,

Your accomplishments in WikiTree are impressive and your contributions to "The Tree" are commendable. This evening I took the liberty to add the day and month to the birth date of my 3rd great grandfather's profile (Amos Newell) which you manage. You had the correct year. I acquired that date from my grandmother's genealogy records. So I believe them to be valid. D. Newell Prouty

I'm new at this and somehow overlooked the method of adding an existing profile to my tree. Thanks for taking care of Delia Ensor. I'll do a little more clean up to connect her siblings.

Hi Paul - I came to the same conclusion after going in circles with refs to Louis Charles, Louis Amble, Louis Charles Amable etc. Somewhere I had the b. 1740 and then ended up with 1748 (thanks Tanguay), Anyway I looked at the sources (matched what I had in Family Tree), reviewed comments from Ed then I updated LeBeau-375, rejected the match request and submitted a match to Lebeau-271 as suggested. Hope I don't have another "Louis" lurking :-D.

Thanks for all the help!

Paul, I think I approved a merge of Jean Baptiste Fournier by mistake. I was getting a number of messages about fixing some data for mine at the same time the merge request came in. I assumed they were related but apparently not. Now that I have updated my dates it appears the other JB Fournier was a different person. Mine was born 1808. The other 1804. I believe Zepheran is the son of the 1804 JB Fournier. My apologies. I don;t use this site much and was confused by all of the notes.

Dear Paul, Thank you very,very much for the addition of my paternal 3XGreat-Grandparents,Mr.John Cleary,and his wife Amity(No last name).I noticed on their son,my 2XGreat-Grandfather,Mr.Garret Clear(Clare),s Naturalization Record from 1868,that accordingly,Garret Clare first came to America in 1851 as a minor,aged 15 years.No mention is made however of his parents,so it seems that he possibly came here without them.Your records for Garret Clare,s parents indicate that they both probably died about 1850 over in Ireland,which would explain their absence from his 1868 Naturalization Record,Paul.Anyway,thanks for the additions to my Family Tree,Paul.I really,really appreciate it,my dear sir.Merci beaucoup,Mon Cher AMI Paul,and God bless you,my genealogical friend.

Hello Paul,

The marriage record of Benjamin LEBLANC and Judith COMEAU says they are related to 4th degree. That would be a long task to find out who they are. But you have the right parents. Judith COMEAU is the daughter of François COMEAU dit l'aîné and Marie LEBLANC. This is proven by at least one document.

The baptism record of Simon LEBLANC (Judith's son) dated 1800-03-09 in Carleton (born 1800-02-18 in Maria) says the godfather is Jean COMEAU, uncle of the child. I also found Jean's brothers Grégoire and Osé COMEAU being the godfather of Judith's other children.

But all of this is true only if we change Jean's parent in WikiTree. Please take a look at the Research section for Jean COMEAU
