Hi Rita, Thanks so much. I guess I was remembering wrong about which census started listing the parents' birthplaces -- heck. Think of how much easier this hobby would be if they'd started listing complete information back in 1790! *sigh* No need to go through the 1860. I have the family pretty well traced from Theotiste to the present; it's Theotiste's mom who is giving me fits.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone had the time & inclination to do a census lookup for me -- I live in the middle of rural nowhere and don't have any access to census records.... My ancestor, Theotiste Boudreaux, was the daughter of Benjamin Hilaire Boudreaux and Anna Isabel Ferguson. I have Benjamin's line traced pretty thoroughly, but Anna's is a total dead end. Anna was b. ca. 1768 and her parents were Anselm and Ann (Berry) Ferguson, possibly of Virginia. Anyhow, Theotiste married twice -- first to my forebear, Joseph Appolinaire Durocher, who died in 1822, and second (in 1827) to Martin Faite. I know she was still alive in 1840. What I'm hoping is that she was still alive in 1850 and 1860, at which time the census started giving more information. If someone has relatively easy access to census records, what I'm looking for is any information on Theotiste Faite, probably in Lafourche or Assumption Parish, LA -- the information I'm especially interested in is where her mother was born. I think the first census that has that information was the 1860 (is that right?) so I'm gambling that she was still alive -- she was born in 1802 so I think it's fairly likely that she was. And I doubt that there are that many Theotiste Faites around, so it shouldn't be too hard to find if she was actually still alive. Thanks in advance.... cheers, Gordon p.s. If anyone on the list descends from Anna Isabel's sister, Margaret Ferguson who m. David Kennedy or Canada -- I just found some great information on the Kennedys -- and from primary sources, yet! Drop me an email if you're interested.

For anyone interested, here is the linage for Gertrude Olive MICHEL. First Generation 1 Gertrude Olive MICHEL. Born 1765. Baptism 17 Feb 1766 in St-Suliac (Ille-Et-Vilaine) Brittany, Fr. Died in Louisiana. Notes: Gertrude accompanied her father Pierre and two sisters (Anne-Marguerite & Marie -Louise)to Louisisana aboard the le Remi on the 27th of June. Another sister, Marie-Madeleine MICHEL married 19 Oct 1784 in Nantes to Pierre-Gregorie GAUTROT were also aboard the le Remi. Source: G.M. BRAUD, Les Acadiens en France, Nantes et Paimbeouf, 1775/1785, p. 203, Family # 333. Second Generation 2 Pierre MICHEL. Born 1739 in Port LaJorie, Isle-St-Jean, Acadia. Died 20 Mar 1784 in Nantes, France. Farmer prior to expulsion, then day laborer In France. Source: Alfred Robichaud, Jr. Acadians in Chatellerault, p. 78: "Pierre Michel, Marguerite Pitre, his wife and family of 9 persons were in the fourth convoy leaving Chatellerault for Nantes from March 6 to March 13, 1776; G.M. Braud, Les Acadiens en France, p. 203, Family # 333. Pierre, a widower left Nantes with three children on le-St-Remi (#8 on passanger list) 27 June 1785. He had been living in Brittany (St-Suliac) from 1759 to 1773, then was in Chatellerault (Vienne); Phoebe Chauvin Morrison, Generations Past & Present I, Revised, p. 294; Albert Robichaux, Acadian Exiles in Nantes. Response received from Stephen A. White, June 14, 2002 to query: Regarding Pierre Michel and Marguerite Pitre, it is relatively easy to identify them both. In her case, the clue does come through her brother Charles, as you suggest. While the 1762 rôle merely states that Charles was her brother, the 1759 listing of these people upon their arrival in France tells us not only that Charles was Marguerite's brother, but also that he was the son of Germain Pitre. So this puts the two of them in the family of Germain Pitre and Marie-Josèphe Girouard. Your correspondent is quite right that Germain Pitre and Marie-Josèphe Girouard were deported to Connecticut, but the great mystery of their family is to explain how most of their children did not accompany their parents but escaped the deportation of 1755, only to be sent to France in the expulsion of 1758. It could be that for some reason their mother was unable to look after them properly, resulting in their being sent to live with other relatives. Besides Marguerite and Charles, Pierre-Olivier, Anne, Marie-Blanche, and Osite were all embarked on ships from Île St-Jean in 1758, for the passage to France. Osite died during the crossing, but all five others survived. And it appears that they did not all go together, but arrived in the company of various relatives, including their father's brother Charles Pitre and their mother's sister Marie Girouard. Meanwhile, their parents had been sent to Connecticut with only one (or possibly two) of their other children, although several more were born to them while they were in exile. From Connecticut Germain and Marie-Josèphe went to Santo Domingo in 1764, where they both died shortly after arrival, along with two of their young children. Of this group only their daughter Clothilde-Christine survived. She eventually married, and some years ago one of her descendants, a Madame Suzanne Canu, came to see me here in Moncton. Pierre Michel was a son of François Michel and Marie-Anne Léger. The connection is made obvious by a number of pieces of circumstantial evidence. For one thing, Pierre was fourteen at the time of La Roque's census in 1752. As you mention, ten years later he was twenty-five and living at St-Suliac, and in 1785 he was forty-six. So these ages match sufficiently well. Additionally, Marie Michel, François and Marie-Anne's daughter who married Joseph Robichaud, was the godmother of Pierre's daughter Marie-Madeleine in 1764. And the two children you mention from the 1762 listing were evidently named after Pierre's parents: Joseph-FRANÇOIS and ANNE-Marguerite. 3 Marguerite PITRE. Born 1739 in Acadia, Ca,.

He fled in 1750 with his family because of the British encroachment in Nova Scotia to l'Anse a Pinet on the Ils St. Jean, Acadia, Canada"; Bona Arseneault : The Repetoire of Baptisms Marriages and Burials for Bonaventure County Quebec; Sr. Joseph de La Roque, Census Isle-St.Jean, Acadia, 1752. "François Michel, senior, native of Acadia, aged 63 years, has been in the country 14 months. Married to Elisabeth Le Jeuge, native of Acadia, aged 65 years. They have two sons and five daughters: Joseph Michel, aged 17 years; Pierre, aged 14 years; Margueritte, aged 19 years; Catherine, aged 6 years; Félicité, aged 11 years; Françoise Perpétue, aged 9 years; and Anne Benoiste, daughter of said Elizabeth Le Jeuge, aged 22 years. Their livestock consisted of two oxen, one heifer, one sow, two pigs, and one hen. The land upon which they are settled is situated as in the preceding cases. It was given to them verbally by Monsieur de Bonnaventure. On it they have made a clearing for the sowing of four bushels of grain in the coming spring;" S. A. White, Vol. 2, p. 1183; S. A. White: Thirty Seven Families; Les Cahiers, Vol 25, nos 2 & 3, April-September 1994; S.A. White, English Supplement; S.A. White, in response to query: "Regarding Claude-Joseph Gros's wife, Marguerite Michel, I have no helpful information. I tried to check on the data that your correspondent says she found in Glenn Conrad's book about St. Charles Parish. Perhaps she consulted a different edition of this work than the one we have here, but in the one we have there is no reference to Marguerite Michel at all. Between his books on St. Charles and St. Jean Baptiste parishes, it appears that while Mr. Conrad does identify a fair number of Claude-Joseph Gros's children, he never says who the mother of those children was. I went on to check the entries in the record of the archdiocese of New Orleans. It was there that I found that Claude-Joseph's wife was indeed Marguerite Michel. The first child I could find listed for them was born in 1773, so the year 1772 that has been indicated for Claude-Joseph and Marguerite's marriage seems plausible. Looking at the names of the godparents of her children, however, I saw nothing that suggested to me that this Marguerite Michel was Acadian. Michel, like many other family names that derive from given names, is very common. It may have many separate and distinct roots. One should not presume that anyone named Michel was of Acadian descent without some specific evidence to that effect. Regarding the Jean Michaud who was in New York, I unfortunately cannot say who he was. I do not believe that he was a Michel. Michaud and Michel are not interchangeable as family names, even though Michaud is really no more than a diminutive of the given name Michel. Notwithstanding that, Michaud exists as an independent family name. As you know, it is a relatively common family name in eastern Québec. This Jean Michaud might have been one of those Michauds. All we know is that he was the head of a household in 1763 that included three chidren. Even if all of these children were his, there is no reason to presume that he married before around 1757, so one possibility is that Michaud is this man's real family name, and that he came into contact with the Acadians sometime after the deportation and at some time between 1755 and 1763 married an Acadian woman. I can tell you that we have no record of any household in Acadia prior to 1755 that was headed by a Jean Michaud. On the other hand, another possibility is that this man's name was really not Michaud at all. It could be that this was in fact "Jean à Michaud," that is, a man named Jean whose father was named Michel and nicknamed Michaud. I have been unable to find any father and son combination who would fit this description, however. Regarding Jean Michel and his wife Martine Bourg, I can see no reason to believe that they left Île St-Jean between 1752, when they appear in La Roque's census, and 1758. If that was indeed the case, then they must have embarked on one of the ships that was to carry the inhabitants to France. As neither Jean nor Martine nor any of their children shows up in any of the records concerning the exiles in France, I have concluded that this family may be presumed to have been aboard one of the vessels that sank during the crossing, most likely the Duke William. I do not think there is any likelihood at all that Jean and Martine's daughter Marguerite was the same Marguerite Michel who married Claude-Joseph Gros;" Notes: Bona: Arsenault: Francois is the son of Jacques Michel m. Catherine Comeau [SAW, p. 1183]. Francois was m. to Marie-Anne Leger [2/5/1715] and to Elisabeth LeJuge [11/25/1751]. SAW has additional info on Francois that hasn't been published. Francois and Elisabeth both died in 1759 either crossing to France or shortly after arriving. 5 Marie Anne LEGER. Born About 1697 in Port Royal, Acadia, Can. Died Before 25 Nov 1751.

Germain Pitre and Marie-Josèphe Girouard were deported to Connecticut, but the great mystery of their family is to explain how most of their children did not accompany their parents but escaped the deportation of 1755, only to be sent to France in the expulsion of 1758.

Died 19 Feb 1748 in Port Royal, Acadia, Canada. Buried 19 Feb 1748 in Port Royal, Acadia, Canada. More about Jacques (St. Michel) Michel: S. A. White, Vol. 2, p. 1183; S. A. White: Baie des Chaleurs, N.B. 1988, p. 695; Walter Burgess Smith II, C.G. "The Acadian Michel (Mitchel) Family of Haiti, Louisiana, Quebec, Massachusetts and Connecticut"; Jacques Michel (1658 - 1748) of Port Royal and His Descendants Through the 4th Generation; Bona Arsenault," Histore et Genealogie des Acadiens;" Léopold Lanctôt, o.m.i., Familles Acadiennes, Vol. 2, p. 179. Notes: White: Until 1714, there were in Acadie only two families Michel, those of François and Jacques. At the time of the census of this year Jacques Michel had six sons of which we know all the first names (Francois, Jean, Charles, Joseph, Jacques and Pierre). 1687 is considered a plausible year of arrival of Jacques into North America. The Acadian census of 1693 and 1700 would put Jacques' birth about 1658 rather that 1667, which date is supported only by the census of 1701, or about 1665, as is suggested by the census of 1698 and his burial record. The earliest birth year seems the most reliable as it is derived from the earliest of these records. If we accept it, we may infer at least hypothetically that Jacques probably served as a soldier and that Saint-Michel was his "nom de guerre (War Name)." Many of the colonists who were new to Acadia at the time of his settling there have been identified as soldiers whose years of service were sufficient to permit their retirement and marriage to local girls. Léopold Lanctôt o.m.i.:" Jacques Michel is not mentioned, for this census (1686) overlooked the soldiers of the garrison and others who were not living with their families at the time." The census of 1693 of Port-Royal Jacques was 35 years of age, Catherine was 21 years of age and the couple had Francois, age 3 and Jean, age 1. He also pocessed 6 cows with horns, 8 sheep, 6 pigs and had 6 arpents (acres) under plow and 1 rifle." PANS: Registers of St-Jean the Baptiste, Port Royal, Acadia (Annapolis-Royal, NS) Can.

Joseph Cheramy (Cheramie) of France and Louisiana Compiled by John B. Windham, Metairie, Louisiana 07 Feb 2004 Joseph Cheramy was born in the town of Mauron, in present-day Department Morbihan, France. In France he was a cobbler. A cobbler is one who makes or mends boots and shoes. Cheramy is not an Acadian name. After living in Mauron, France, Joseph Cheramy moved to the City of Nantes, France, about 1783 and there he became associated with some of the Acadians who had been forced into exile when England required them to abandon their homes in Acadia, North America. Joseph married in Nantes, France, on April 27, 1784, to Anne Aucoin, an Acadian. Anne Aucoin, daughter of Pierre Aucoin and Marguerite Dupuy, was the first wife of Joseph Cheramy but not the mother of our Louisiana Cheramie ancestors. Our Cheramie's descend from Joseph Cheramy and his second wife, Gertrude Olive Michel, daughter of Pierre Michel and Marguerite Pitre. Joseph Cheramy has not been found listed on any ship passenger list, but this writer is convinced that he came to Spanish controlled Louisiana with the French Acadians aboard one of the seven ships in 1785. "Passenger List" for these seven ships that brought Acadians from France to Louisiana in 1785 are available for research, but these "Passenger List" are not completely accurate. These "Passenger List" are a list of people who volunteered and were authorized to leave France for Louisiana. Some of these people who signed-up for the trip, later, changed their minds and did not leave France. Other people who had not signed-up for the trip, took the place of those who had changed their minds and decided to stay in France. Joseph Cheramy is believed to be one of the people who did not originally enlist to make the trip, but later (after the original passenger list had been prepared) married an Acadian whose family had already volunteered to make the trip. When it was time for the ships to leave in 1785, Joseph Cheramy boarded one of the ships with his new Acadian bride and made the trip to Louisiana. A more accurate list of actual ship passengers was probably compiled, but it has not been found by this writer. When Joseph Cheramy come to Spanish Louisiana in 1785, he and his family settled in a place called "La Fourche". At that time period, "La Fourche" is believed to have been composed essentially of the areas of today's civil parishes of Lafourche, Terrebonne, Assumption and that part of Ascension on the "west" side of the Mississippi River. The actual community where Joseph Cheramy is believed to have first settled was a few miles down stream from present-day Donaldsonville, Louisiana, in the community on Bayou Lafourche called Valenzuela. This Valenzuela Community still exist, today. It is located near the present-day Belle Alliance Community and this area is between present-day Donaldsonville, Louisiana, and present-day Plattenville, Louisiana, on Bayou Lafourche. This area where Joseph Cheramy first settled is about six miles below present-day Donaldsonville, Louisiana, and is in present-day Assumption Parish about two miles downstream from the dividing line between present-day Assumption Parish and present-day Ascension Parish. When Joseph Cheramy first come to Louisiana in 1785, the present-day civil Parishes of Assumption and Ascension had not yet been established. Bayou Lafourche was a large waterway when Joseph Cheramy settled in that area. The water from the mighty Mississippi River split-off at what is, today, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, and formed Bayou Lafourche. Today, the volume of water from the Mississippi River is controlled by the "locks" at Donaldsonville. This makes Bayou Lafourche, today, a fairly small and tame stream of water. During the years before the controlling "locks" at Donaldsonville, huge amounts of water splitting-off from the Mississippi River made Bayou Lafourche a deep and wide waterway that accommodated large ships. During those early years the uncontrolled water from the Mississippi River often spilled-over the banks of Bayou Lafourche. This flooding of the surrounding lands which continuously deposited new rich soil, made very fertile and desirable farm land. In the book, "South Louisiana Records--Church and Civil Records of Lafourche-Terrebonne Parishes" vol. 1 (1794-1840) by Rev. Donald J. Hebert, the foreword is written by Albert J. Robichaux, Jr. and he states: (begin quote) Before the arrival of the French, the Chetimachas Indians had established a village along Bayou Lafourche at its junction with the Mississippi River. The village, located in the region of present-day Donaldsonville, was known as Lafourche des Chetimachas and the term came to apply to the area along the entire length of the Bayou. French retaliation of the murder of a missionary almost exterminated the Chetimachas and the Spanish later established a post at the site of this village. To the Spanish "Distrito de La Fourche" came refugees from Acadia; volunteer recruits from the Canary Islands, the Isle of Mallorca and the mainland of Spain; immigrants from Canada, Italy, Ireland and the American Colonies; and emigrants from the neighboring districts of Iberville, First and Second German Coasts, New Orleans, Pointe Coupee and Attakapas. In the late eighteenth century, population had spread south of Valenzuela and gave rise to a trading post which was originally called Thibodauxville and later shortened to Thibodaux. In 1807, Thibodaux became the seat of the Civil Parish of Lafourche Interior, from which Terrebonne Parish was carved in 1822. (end quote) Also in the book, "South Louisiana Records--Church and Civil Records of Lafourche-Terrebonne Parishes" vol. 1 (1794-1840) by Rev. Donald J. Hebert, a historical sketch of Lafourche Parish originally prepared by the Work Projects Administration, is given: (begin quote) Lafourche is French for "the fork". The name originally was applied to Bayou Lafourche, probably because of the fork formed where it flows out of the Mississippi River at the present site of Donaldsonville in Assumption Parish. Lafourche Parish today represents only a part of the old parish of that name. It was created originally as the county of La Fourche, one of the 12 counties into which the Territory of Orleans was divided in 1805. When the parish organization was established in 1807 it was provided that: "The settlement of LaFourche shall be divided into two parishes, the nearest of which to the river, shall form the eighth parish, under the name of the parish of the Assumption, and shall include one half of the population; "The ninth parish shall consist of the other settlements in the lower part of La Fourche, and shall be called the Interior Parish; In 1822 Terrebonne Parish was created from Lafourche Interior Parish, although the permanent boundary between these two parishes was not established until the passage of a statute in 1850. The designation "Interior" was dropped from the name in 1853, making it "Lafourche, under which title it shall henceforth be known and designated." (end quote) The earliest Louisiana record that this writer has found, shows that Joseph Cheramy had a child baptized in Ascension of Donaldsonville Catholic Church Parish on May 7, 1786. This "Ascension" Parish refers to the Catholic Church Parish, not the present-day civil Ascension Parish. The present-day Ascension Parish did not come into existence until March 31, 1807, and the present-day civil Ascension Parish took its name from the Catholic Church Parish at Donaldsonville, Louisiana. Joseph Cheramy and his first wife, Anne Aucoin, probably traveled the short distance to the Donaldsonville Catholic Church from their home in the Valenzuela Community near present-day Belle Alliance, Louisiana, to have their child baptized. Joseph Cheramy's first wife, Anne Aucoin, died about this time, probably from complications of childbirth of their only child who was born April 7, 1786. This only child from Anne Aucoin was named Joseph Cherami. He lived for only a few months and he died an infant. In the book, "Assumption Parish, Original Cahier Records, Book 1, 1786-1793", Joseph Cher Amy/Cheramy/Cherami is listed in land records as living on the banks of Bayou Lafourche on November 20, 1790; May 24, 1794; October 22, 1796; October 31, 1796; October 22, 1798; October 29, 1798; January 14,1806; February 5, 1806; February 22, 1806; May 19, 1806; July 19, 1806 and August 26, 1806. Some of these records show Joseph Cheramy buying and selling land. Some of these records show Joseph Cheramy as living on land bounded by other persons buying and selling land. The records indicate that he owned land on both sides of Bayou Lafourche. The two sides of Bayou Lafourche were known as the "left bank" and the "right bank". "Left" and "right" was determined with the assumption that one was headed downstream. In the October 22, 1796, record it is stated that the land where Joseph Cherami was living at that time was "located in lower Lafourche". In the October 29, 1798, record it is stated that the land was "situated in lower Lafourche". This "lower Lafourche" designation does not mean that Joseph Cheramy was in 1796-1798 living in what is present-day "south Lafourche". The present-day area of "south Lafourche" is the area around present-day Larose and Galliano, Louisiana. In the late 1790s, "lower Lafourche" meant the area just below the more heavily populated area of present-day Donaldsonville, Louisiana. In the late 1790s, "lower Lafourche" included the area of Valenzuela above Plattenville, Louisiana, where Joseph Cheramy was living. This area is in present-day Assumption Parish, Louisiana. Joseph Cheramy probably moved sometime about 1797-1798 from the Valenzuela Community near present-day Belle Alliance, Louisiana, to the area near what is known, today, as Larose, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. Catholic Church records at St. Louis Church (Cathedral) and St. Marie Church on Chartres Street in New Orleans seem to imply that Joseph Cheramy/Cherami and his wife, Gertrude Michel were residing in the City of New Orleans from about 1797 to about 1811. This writer believes that Joseph Cheramy and his wife, Gertrude Olive Michel, never lived in the City of New Orleans. This confusion may be caused by Catholic Church records being transferred from the Bayou Lafourche area to the New Orleans Church records repository. Land records seem to reliably indicate that Joseph Cheramy and his wife, Gertrude Olive Michel, were living near Larose, Lafouche Parish, during the 1798 to 1810 time period. After 31 March 1807 the area near Larose, Louisiana, was included in the newly established La Fourche Interior Parish, Louisiana. It was on 22 March 1822 that an Act was passed that established what is known, today as Lafourche Parish, Louisiana In a January 14, 1806, land sale record for Joseph Cherami it is stated that the land was "located on the right bank of Bayou Lafourche; about 20 leagues below the Mississippi River". A "league" is about three miles. This proves that the land that this Joseph Cherami sold in 1806 was sixty(60) miles down Bayou Lafourche from the Mississippi River at present-day Donaldsonville. The February 15, 1806, land sale record shows that Joseph Cherami sold land "located on the right bank of Bayou Lafourche, about 23 leagues below the Mississippi River". Twenty-three(23) leagues would place this land sixty-nine(69) miles from present-day Donaldsonville, Louisiana. We know by these records that Joseph Cherami was living in the area of present-day Larose, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, in 1806. Joseph Cheramy/Cherami who was born 05 May 1759 in France to parents, Joseph Cheramy and Anne Pinsart, had a total of nine(9) known children. He had one(1) child by his first wife, Anne Aucoin, and eight(8) children by his second wife, Gertrude Olive Michel, daughter of Pierre Michel and Marguerite Pitre. Joseph Cheramy's child by his first wife, Anne Aucoin: 1- Joseph Cherami born 07 Apr 1786, died an infant Joseph Cheramy's children by his second wife, Gertrude Olive Michel: 2- Joseph Batiste Cherami born 18 Oct 1787 3- Marguerite Suzanne Cherami born Oct 1792 4- Juan Baptiste Cherami born 05 Nov 1794 5- Zeon Cherami born 12 Feb 1897 6- Maria Sinforosa Cherami born 07 Jan 1799, died about 22 Sep 1824 7- Juan Raphael born 10 Apr 1801, died about 03 Nov 1811 8- Rosalia Cherami born 15 Sep 1802, died 14 Jul 1805 9- Louis Jacques Cherami born 13 Dec 1808 Joseph Cheramy was born 05 May 1759 died sometime after August 1806 when he is recorded as selling land and he died before 1810 when the 1810 census of Lafourche Parish was taken and did not include him. He probably died near what is today, Larose, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. Joseph's wife, Gertrude Olive Michel, died sometime after 1810 when she was included in the 1810 census and she died before 01 July 1815 when she is recorded as being already deceased in a marriage record of her oldest son, Joseph Batiste Cheramy/Cherami. Gertrude probably died in what was then known as La Fourche Interior, Louisiana, near Larose, Louisiana Many of Joseph Cherami's descendants continued to live at, or near, Larose, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, for over two hundred years. Many others of Joseph Cherami's descendants are now scattered throughout the United States and even throughout the entire world. The Cheramie surname has been spelled and pronounced in several different ways. Variations of the spelling of the surname are Cher Amy, Cheramy, Cherami, and Cheramie. It seems that Cher Amy and Cheramy was used as the French version and the American version before about 1800. Starting about 1830 (or a few years before) and continuing to about 1880 to 1900, the Cherami spelling was generally used. Then, gradually starting about 1880 to 1900, the present-day American version of Cheramie was most commonly used. The conversion to the modern-day spelling of Cheramie was a gradual process. Of course, there was no clear-cut day when the name was spelled one way and then starting the next day, it was being spelled another way. Some family members spelled their surname as several different versions during their own lifetime. Different family members sometimes spelled their Cheramie surname differently during the same time period. There are recorded instances where the Cheramie surname has been misspelled. This usually occurred when someone other than a family member was entering a written record.. Some recorded misspellings variations of the Cheramie surname are: "Jeremias", "Geremias", "Jeremie", and "Chervais". Most knowledgeable Cheramie family researchers seem to agree that these are simply mistakes by the person recording the name and not legitimate spelling variations of the Cheramie

Hi, I just ran across an online database which gives parents for Francoise Charbonneau or Corbineau, first wife of Guillaume Trahan. The site lists her parents as Mathurin Charbonnier (b. 1573) and Marguerite Ciret (b. 1575). There is no primary documentation -- the site lists a couple of researcher's names and secondary sources as general background, but there is no indication of where this information came from. Does anyone know if this is documented information? Thanks, Gordon

Does anyone know what is the correct lineage for Elizabeth? How does Stephen White weigh in on the subject? Thanks....
