Research Notes

Note by Stephen White in DGFA p. 541: [1]
Les recensements nous laissent entendre qu'un fils est né dans cette famille entre 1700 et 1703. Après une élimination des possibilités, nous sommes porté à croire que ce fils ne pouvait être que Jean Doucet, le futur époux de Judith Bourg. (Translation: The censuses show that a son was born in this family between 1700 and 1703. After eliminating the possibilities, we are led to believe that this son could only be Jean Doucet, the future husband of Judith Bourg.)
