Research Notes

There are two Pierre Maheux who are cousins. They married two sisters on the same day in the same marriage record. Here is a translation from a G2G inquiry that shows which Pierre is married to which sister:

This is my best translation "First Pierre Maheu son of the defunct Pierre and Marie Louise Garnier married Suzanne Girou daughter of Jean Girou and the defunct Marie Suzanne Belanger....Second marriage of Pierre Maheu son of the defunct Charles Maheu and Marie Charlotte Garnier to Marie Louise Girou daughter of Jean and defunct Belanger."

Biography

Pierre passed away at around age 57.

Two Giroux sisters, Marie-Louise and Suzanne, married the same day two cousins, both named Pierre Maheu. Both marriages were recorded in one act.[3]

Note PRDH: À light of various elements, especially marriage contracts of each of the pairs, leads to believe that the editor has switched the names of wives and Suzanne married the son of Charles Maheu and Marie-Louise, the son of Pierre Maheu.[4]

Research Note

Three people on G2G reviewed and translated from the original marriage act: Here's the answer from one of them:

Short translation "First Pierre Maheu son of the defunct Pierre and Marie Louise Garnier married Suzanne Girou daughter of Jean Girou and the defunct Marie Suzanne Belanger....Second marriage of Pierre Maheu son of the defunct Charles Maheu and Marie Charlotte Garnier to Marie Louise Girou daughter of Jean and defunct Belanger."

In French, taken from Drouin image posted on this profile: Le onzième de février 1715 après les publications des bans requises et faites aux prônes des messes paroissiales et ne s'étant découvert aucun empêchement, je soussigné prêtre faisant les fonctions curiales à Beauport ay célébré le mariage des sousécrits à savoir premièrement de Pierre Maheu fils de défunt Pierre et de Marie Louise Garnier d'une part et Suzanne Girou fille de Jean Girou et de défunte Marie Suzanne Bélanger d'autre part, tous du dit Beauport, Second mariage d'entre Pierre Maheu fils de défunt Charles Maheu et de Marie Charlotte Garnier d'une part et Marie Louise Girou fille de Jean et de ladite défunte Bélanger tous dudit lieu. Présents Jean Girou, Noël Vachon dudit lieu, Jean Baptiste Prévost de Québec, Valentin Marchant de L'Ange-Gardien. Les dits époux et épouses ont dit ne savoir signer de ce enquis, ont signé Jean Girou, Valentin Marchant, J.B. Prévost, Noel Vachon, Boullard (the priest), written by Danielle Liard

So this profile is correct: this Pierre is the son of Pierre and Marie Louise Garnier and thus the one who married Suzanne.

To avoid further confusion about these families, the children of each are listed in the attached image, compiled from Tanguay and supported by Drouin. NOT taken from PRDH due to the confusion of the parents.

Note: Baptême / Baptism Pierre Maheu this is NOT this Pierre, this is for the baptism of Pierre son of Charles

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Pierre by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Pierre:

My thanks for sorting this out. I have been going in circles because of PRDH information and this clears it up.

Maheu-26 and Maheu-144 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same parents. Birthdate needs decision (the 1693 date belongs to a different Pierre Maheux-4). same death date and place. No other conflicting information - former children all connected to correct parents.

OK Judith, I think I have found all the children and sorted them out. My list attached as an image, and the Tanguay listing too. I'll propose the merge with Maheu-26. The one thing that still needs to be looked at is that the two real Pierre's (yours and the Maheux-4) both have the same birthdate. Your guy is 1694 per Tanguay and I haven't found a baptism record for him. The other one is for sure the date in 1693 (source added to his profile)

Judith, Danielle reminded me to sort the children, too, so give me a bit of time to do that, especially for Maheu-26, before you relook the merge.
posted by Cindy (Bourque) Cooper
Judith, I think I have straightened out the two Pierre's. That leaves a possible merge between Maheu-26 and this profile. The wrong wifes are disconnected. I applied the death date. But could not find a baptism for Maheu-144 to use for either profile. Can you work with this information so far?
