Andy, Volume 5 of ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS SACRAMENTAL RECORDS, p 31, has the baptism abstract of "Cristofora BERTRAN", born 3 Jan 1791 and baptized 29 Jul 1791 at St John the Baptist Church in Edgard, St John the Baptist Parish, LA. Parents are listed as Frederico BERTRAN and Genevieve MALLER, sponsors are Juan Paul SEXNEIDRE and Emerante VICNELE (SJBED-B1, 136). Civil records of St John the Baptist and St Charles Parishes show that Genevieve was born ca. 1759, the daughter of Hantz Jacob MAYR and Marie Anne BOURGEOIS of St Charles Parish, LA. I found no baptism record for Genevieve nor a marriage record for Genevieve and Frederic BERTRAN, probably because they would have been recorded in the registers of St Charles des Allemands Catholic Church which are lost for the time period of interest.
