Notes
No records could be located in St-Enfant-Jésus-de-la-Pointe-aux-Trembles in 1752 using the records from Généalogie Québec - Registres Drouin.[2]. There are no death location indicated on NosOrigines[3] and it would be strange that Michel would have died in Québec when his wife died several years later still in Acadia[3].
