Research Notes

There are discrepancies concerning his date of birth:

• 19 Aug 1896 in the parish register. This entry, and another one, is placed between entries on 14 September and 10 October. Could it be that the priest wrote August instead of September?
• 22 September 1896. Provincial Registrations of Births. An unnamed male boy born to Ambroise Landry and Lucille Cormier in Tidish. ^[11]
• 27 Sep 1896 Find a Grave. No source provided.
