Research Notes

Note in profile: "She was not baptized until 17 Sep 1776 in Chatellerault, Vienne, Poitou-Charentes, France." ^{[citation needed]}
There is possibly confusion with her younger sister also named Marie-Elisabeth who was born and baptized on 17 September 1776 in Chantenay, France. No baptism date was found for Marie Elisabeth born around 1761 in reliable family trees.
