Poirier-2636 and Poirier-107 appear to represent the same person because: Same date of birth, same parents, same spouse, same son Laurent based on reference Généalogie acadienne in Poirier-2636.

Hi Cindy – Thanks for note.

I have an Ancestry subscription. I tracked through the x-ref’d family trees. The only one that seemed to have decent documentation turned out to be quite useless. The key items in the citations turned out to “unhelpful.” The source I trust most is Jean Bernard’s collection for PEI, which is based on careful search of parish records and the like, plus the unpublished updated notes of Stephen A. White. There, Scholastique (shown both in her husband’s and her father’s listings) has no birth or death dates, but has White’s estimate that she married about 1786 to Jean Charles Doiron – which is what Georges Arsenault has as well in his article on “The Saga of Alexis Doiron” (father of J-C). It was Arsenault’s piece that led me to create a profile for J-C Doiron and for Scholastique in the first place. Bernard shows the 13th of Scholastique’s 14 kids (Marguerite) as born on the 2 of Sep 1814 & baptized on the 11th (from the Rustico parish register). Even if Schol. was b. in 1768, she’s have been about 45 at the time of that birth. If b. 1762, she’d have been c 52…. When Marguerite married in 1838, neither parent was marked as deceased (it was the practice to do so). Scholastique & her husband are listed in the 1798 census of Rustico (published in J-Henri Blanchard’s history of the parish), but with no ages given. This is all I can give you. Most of the stuff in the profile, I had nothing to do with placing there. As for the Métis thing, I have to confess that I’m in the camp that objects strongly to the misappropriation of the word “Métis” by persons of “mixed” Euro-aboriginal ancestry outside of the population of Métis proper in the “North West” of Canada and north-central USA, who have a distinct historical identity and culture. I think it’s superb to be interested in, and proud of, First Nations ancestry (I wish I had some, frankly), but the label “Métis” (regardless of its literal meaning in French) is politically and culturally laden with connotations that should be respected. As well, I am severely uninformed about DNA results in terms of genealogy, so I can’t offer any advice on that score. Sorry about the “Métis” rant – nothing personal!

Hi, John, should we change the birth year to 1768 as said in the profile? I can't review the Ancestry entries but as they are family trees, I'm not optimistic that there is an actual source for either date. At least 99 years old at death could be more realistic than 105. That card about death looks a little unofficial to me but could be true?

Also do you agree with the info in the DNA link provided? At the bottom of that page gives the lineage, which is all correctly linked in Wikitree. Should the children all get the Metis sticker?

Thanks for your opinion. Cindy

DeRoche-14 John DeRoche
I would not be optimistic about finding an answer. Any time that a profile is based on family trees & other privately contributed material, alarm bells should go off. I tried following up on some of these links (thru ancestry.ca) & found endlessly copied & reposted misinformation without solid source citation. (Mind you, I abandoned the effort before looking at ALL of them.)
