Au baptême de Marguerite Boier, fille de Nicolas Boyer le 25 avril 1668 à Montréal (ND), le parrain est Pierre Roy,[11] dont la mère se nomme Jeanne Boyer/Bouhier. Nicolas est aussi de la même région de France, des lieux très proches l'un de l'autre. Nicolas Boyer est présent au mariage de Pierre Leroy en 1672, aucune mention de parenté sur l'acte. Sont-ils apparentés? Recherches à faire en France pour répondre à cette question.
Pierre was godfather of Marguerite Boier, daughter of Nicolas Boyer on 25 April 1668 in Montréal (ND). Pierre's mother is named Jeanne Bouhier/Boyer. Both Pierre and Nicolas are from the same region of France, locations quite near each other. Nicolas was also present at Pierre's wedding, no family relationship stated. Are they perhaps related? Research needed in France to determine this.
Geneviève Roy has been moved to correct parents, see her profile for details.
