Note on Birth Location:
Baptism for her brother Michel gives no dob but does give the family residence as Gentilly. [1]
Her father's profile, Michel Billy has the following information. Michel Billy in the 1681 census is listed as residing with his parents in the seigneurie of La Prade, which is one of the earlier names for Gentilly. There is a note on his profile about the children all likely being born in Gentilly which did not yet have a church. The trip to Champlain would have been difficult for a newborn and this would explain the delay in baptism.
