Received information about Great Grandfather, Nazaire Mercier and went to Google to find Villeroy, Quebec and then saw site for census as below but then was told was probably in surrounding village. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/archivianet/1911/index-e.html  Harriet Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how, with God's help, to dance in the rain. ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Benoit Mercier <[email protected]> To: Harriet Cady <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 2, 2008 10:27:47 AM Subject: RE: Nazaire Mercier Hello Harriet I am not sure of the birth date of Nazaire Mercier (your g.g. grandfather) he is probably borned on July 1849.  Where ? possibly St-Flavien or St-Bernard. Death and burial: Villeroi circa 1920. For the Nazaire's children, most of them were born in Peterborough NH  "rootsweb" can help.  I do not have any of George's marriage  date and place. Nazaire lived sometime in Michigan, Canada and NH in accordance of rootsweb and US census.

Documents (BMDs) in Manitoba, you must pay in advance and it takes 6 to 8 weeks (sometimes longer) to receive the document.
