Additional note: there were numerous Boudreaux men with name Hermogene; be alert when compiling data.

I would certainly agree with you that Louis-Valere and Carmelite Barillot are indeed the parents of Marie Louise, and this proven by the fine Acadian tradition regarding first-born children, that her godparents were her maternal grandfather (Pierre Barillot) and paternal grandmother (Julie Adam). That makes perfect sense and solves this question for me. I very much appreciate your input on this. As to Hermogene's mother, we know for a fact that he was the son of (Jean-) Joseph and Eulalie Dugas, as stated in his first marriage record to Marie (-Charlotte) Barillot. In his baptismal record from 1815, perhaps then there is another transcriptional error of "Dubois" in place of "Dugas"? It seems everyone else's trees that contain him have come to that same conclusion. It seems that the (22 Mar/11 Jun) 1815 record for Hermogene could NOT have been for a son of that name born from the marriage of Isidore and Marie-Modeste Dubois, who married only AFTER that birth on 14 May 1815, unless they had an illegitimate son (which although possible, is not probable). So I dismiss them altogether even though I have seen some trees which list Hermogene Cursio as their oldest son. As for a connection between this Hermogene from 1815 and his godparents: The record gives Emerante Crochet (Note: up North, in Canada, the name "Emerante" is feminine). I know there was a Joseph-Emerand Crochet, son of Jean-Guillaume and Marie-Marthe Boudrot, the daughter of Joseph and Marguerite Richard dit Sapin. Jean-Guillaume and Marie-Marthe were Hermogene's uncle and aunt (sister of his father), and thus, Emerand would have been his first cousin. As for Francisca (which I presume is Francoise in Spanish) Boudreaux. I find no relatives of Hermogene's bearing that name at all, unless it was his older sister named "Fannie"-Basilisse. Fannie is usually a derivative of Stephanie, but I guess in this case it could also refer to "Frances/Francoise", which would then confirm and complete the connection, and prove his link to Joseph and Eulalie Dugas, his parents. Guess I may have solved my own question. Hope this all makes sense. Once again, sincere thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.

First the parentage of Hermogene that marriedMarie Charlotte Barillot are indeed Joseph and Eulalie Dugas. Secondly, the parents of Marie Louise born in 1842 are Louis Valere Boudrot (son of Louise Narcisse Boudrot and Julia Adelaide Adam) and Marie Carmelite Barillot (daughter of Pierre Barillot and Marie Madeleine Forest); this family had 5 children. As to how Hermogene's name was listed on that birth I have no answer, save to say possible mental lapse by transcriber of data. Mitch
