Research Notes

According to the website Nos Origines Joseph passed away on 13 March 1853 in St-Alexis, Montcalm. This record shows that a Joseph Guildry dit Labine, who was married to Marguerite Landreville, died on that day at the age of 102, and was buried 2 days later. ^[7] Marcel Landry gives this date for his death as well. More research is needed to make sure it is the same man. There is no indication that he was married to a Marguerite Landreville.
