But to locate marriages records or data one needs the name of both spouses. This is the problem we have for Pierre. We do not have a Québec-wide birth or baptism repertory or registry. So it is difficult to connect Nazaire with his parents via the baptism. In a case life this, Nazaire's marriage record would provide his parents' name but the applicable record cannot be found. Census: I will check but I do not believe that the Census for that period have been indexed yet. Not knowing the place where Nazaire lived between birth and 1865, it is difficult to locate in individual and his family in a census. Let me consult my experts with regard to the census route. au revoir, Jean-Mariea
