Could someone translate the burial record into English and add that text to the bio section?

Daigle-179 and Daigre-2 do not represent the same person because: There are too many discrepancies between the birth years for both Jean Daigre and his wife. Profiles for both of them do not share enough information to comfortably conclude that they are the same people. The fact that both Jean's have a wife named Ann and a daughter named Marie is not remarkable among the French considering those names are nearly constant amongst ALL French families.

Daigle-179 and Daigre-2 do not represent the same person because: These are different people. Born a generation apart, in separate countries.

Daigle-699 and Daigre-2 appear to represent the same person because: same name, parents, spouse. Merge into Daigre-2, the approved last name spelling for the Acadian project. Thanks! Daigre

Daigle-461 and Daigre-2 appear to represent the same person because: same family links. DGFA estimates birth year to be 1698; Robichaux estimates 1699. (see Daigle-461). DGFA doesn't have a birth place but another source gives Pigiguit. Daigre is the recommended family name per Acadian project.

Daigle-21 and Daigle-406 appear to represent the same person because: same name, date and place of death, origin and year of birth

Girouard-4019 Jacqueline Girouard
Daigle-21 and Daigre-2 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, birth years are close, child Felicite is consistent. Jean Baptiste had a child named Felicite who married Jean Baptiste Pitre. He married twice: Marie Madeleine Landry and Marie Anne Breau. If they are not the same person, they should not share the same spouse.
