DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Pierre Joseph by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA test-takers in his direct paternal line.
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
A careful reexamination of the baptismal registration shown in this profile will show that it is dated 1719, not 1714 (see the clear writing in the year of the one line at the bottom of the image. In the text, the priest wrote that the child was FIVE yrs old at his baptism. I explored around & it appears the family preferred remote dwelling spots. Even in Beauport, they were living (at one point, at least) in the forested interior of Beauport at Mont-Louis, not in the village itself. It appears that the household moved downriver to Rimouski before they got this son baptized, & at that time, Rimouski was still a frontier settlement ^ had no resident parish priest - being serviced by missionaries.
