Hi Don and Everybody, A colleague and friend received this from Stephen White regarding recent posts: <<Hi Lucie, I just got the following from Steve regarding the Tom Landry lineage. Could you post this on the list serve since I am NOT a member and cannot do so myself. It contains updated info from Steve regarding this Landry lineage. Thanks, Dennis Regarding Tom Landry's line, it contains a few errors, that you might wish to pass back the following notations to those on the list-serve. The date of Joseph Landry and Marie-Josèphe Corran dit Dauphiné's marriage was Feb. 13, 1778, rather than Feb. 28, 1778. This same Joseph did have one full sibling, a brother Pierre, who was born about 1754, and who died July 8, 1758, at the age of four years. Pierre was buried at Notre-Dame de Québec on July 9, 1758. The eldest of the children of Pierre Landry and his second wife, Isabelle (or Élisabeth) LeBlanc, was a son they had baptized Amand, and not Joseph. Amand was named after his godfather Amand Robichaud. His godmother was Marie-Josèphe Provençal. It would appear that there really was no Joseph Landry who married Geneviève Meunier. There is a baptismal record at Maskinongé for a child born in 1786 to a couple with those names, according to the information compiled by the researchers of the PRDH, but I believe that instead of Geneviève Meunier one should read Geneviève Vermet here. I do not have the original record to check, so I do not know whether the error is in that, or represents a transcriptional problem. In any event, Joseph Landry and Geneviève Vermet were living at Maskinongé at the time in question and had children baptized there in other years around that time. The Joseph Landry who died at L'Acadie, meanwhile, would seem to have been the husband of Geneviève Montminy, rather than the husband of Geneviève Meunier. Someone on the team working on the Landrys needs to go back to look at that burial record from L'Acadie again. The husband of Marie-Geneviève Montminy was actually baptized as Simon-Joseph Landry on Sept. 19, 1773, at St-Philippe de Laprairie. He was a son of Simon-Joseph Landry and Rosalie Cyr. He and Marie-Josèphe were married at L'Acadie on Jan. 11, 1796. I do not have a date for his death, but July of 1832 is of course entirely plausible. The compilers of this Landry lineage should reduce their count of the children of Joseph Landry and Marie-Josèphe Corran dit Dauphiné from twenty-six to twenty-five. Joseph and Marie-Josèphe's daughter who was baptized as Madeleine in July of 1784 must have been the same child who was buried as Louise a month and a half later. The PRDH shows only one child baptized and only one buried, but, even if the entries were duplicated between Maskinongé and Louiseville, I do not think one can imagine that there were two girls, rather than just one; it would have been most extraordinary indeed had this couple been able to bring into the world twin girls and cause them to be separately baptized on the day following their birth in two different parishes. There is, however, a certain amount of duplication of entries between the two parishes, but that is all that it is, a duplication of the entries. I hope the Landry team will find the foregoing helpful. Stephen A.
