Images for acts of baptism/marriages/burials done at Port Royal 1702-1755 can be viewed online at the following address: http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/cap/acadian/surnames.asp <<Registre RG 1 Vol. 26a p.87 Register Prêtre Priest Date d'enregistrement 20 May 1731 Registration date Événement Baptism Event Nom Marie Dugas born 19 May 1731 Name Père François Dugas Father Mère Clare Bourg Mother Parrain ou Marraine Louis Dugas, his brother Clare Bourg Godparents>> It appears to me that the recording of this act had several errors in it 1) the priest's name was omitted from the act 2) instead of the godmother's name being entered here, the mother's name is entered. The following entry appears to be the corrected copy of the same act [hence: Mr White's reference of "(deuxième acte)"] <<Registre RG 1 Vol. 26a p.91 Register Prêtre Ant Gaulin Priest Date d'enregistrement 15 July 1731 Registration date Événement Baptism Event Nom Elisabeth Dugas born 16 May 1731 Name Père François Dugas Father Mère Clare Bourg Mother Parrain ou Marraine Louis Dugas, Anne Granger Godparents>> Hope this helps Rita -----Original Message----- From: Bo and Bg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 4:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ACADIAN-CAJUN] DUGAS, Marie Elisabeth Hi, hopefully someone can help with this. In Stephen White's Dictionnaire vol. 1 page 579 is Marie-Elisabeth DUGAS. There are two different dates for birth and baptism and the same god-father but a different god-mother listed on the second date. It is called deuxieme acte. That sounds like the second act to me, but? Can someone explain, I don't want to put in the wrong info in my genealogy program. Which dates would be correct to use?
