Hello Paul I have for the Kleinpeter entry: Marie Josephe LeBlanc ({35}Jean Jacques-{7i}Madeleine Theriot) bt.8 Dec 1726 Rg GrandPre-ACADIE (DOBR 145/vol 1a.....SGA 2/74) d.7 Feb 1765 wd Simon Dupuy 36a Rg Mirebalais-STDOMINGUE (ACADIANS IN EXILE p.287) m.c1750 {27}Simon Pierre Dupuis ({6}Antoine-{5b}Marie Josephe Dugas) b.24 Apr 1727 Riviere-aux-Canards bt.20 Jul 1727 Rg GrandPre-ACADIE (DOBR 70/vol 1a.....SGA 2/78) d.18 Nov 1764 35a Rg Mirebalais-STDOMINGUE (ACADIANS IN EXILE p.130) C ----- Original Message ----- From: pleblan@aim.com<mailto:pleblan@aim.com> To: acadian@rootsweb.com<mailto:acadian@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2010 10:52 AM Subject: Re: [ACADIAN] Children Francois Hebert m 1760 Marie LeBlanc Cousins Thanks Karen for the beautiful work Please switch to Karen's rather than mine for the family. I will compare the two and share the differences over the next week and then delete my earlier post from the archive. The two I see right away are Marie-Josephe LeBlanc & Joseph Alexis not Alexandre Landry (who we will work later) My Marie-Marguerite was from pre-Katrine when I shared/helped a cousin off list. We missed doing a correction when we did the tree of Fernand Cavalier & Emily Simoneaux, the couple in Assumption Parish who had been married for 80(?) years. To get us started. In Kleinpeter's Family Book The Le Blanc Legacy pg 91- 92. shows two Marie-Josephe born to Jean LeBlanc & MJ Theriot. The one born in 1730 she has married 1750 to Simon-Pierre Dupuis (Antoine & Josephe Dugas). They were exiled to New York & she died in 7 Feb 1765 at Mirebalis, Santo Domingo (Haiti) She shows a second Marie-Josephe born abt 1740 who married Francois Hebert. (looks like we will be doing more pencil corrections in the book. I now understand why Bonnie tried not to sell me the book.) Wood pg 116 shows in 1767 Charles 4 years old (born right after census of 1763) and Marie 25 born 1742. Using our birth of eldest child rules of thumb Marie & Francois were married 1762 (or before) Using our female marry at 18 rule they were married about 1760. Francois was within one year. We share all our sources & resolve the differences. These are the reasons we share on list rather that rely on the online trees. ======================= Someone asked about the "rules of thumb" I use to start looking for people & rites. A couple will marry one year before birth of first child. Males marry at 20, females at 18. During war time, females marry younger & males Later. Before Genealogy "captured" me I was a professional "student (& teacher)" Every semester I would take or teach one or two classes a semester at universities. One of my degrees was in Anthropology & Socialogy where I learned of the rules & norm's of cultures & societies. These are the basis of my "Rules of Thumb". These the reasons we share on list rather that rely on the online trees. .
