First I want to thank everyone for their responses. Bonjour Philippe, Please excuse my ignorance but I really have not worked with LDS microfilms at all. What is Le Mouillage is a village? Can I ask what you are looking at that lets you know there are a lot of records on Renault in St Lucia. When we went it was hard to gather information and I finally had the archives do a search for me looking for my Bonnets and Jennings clan and the baptismal certificate for a Marie Therese Bonnet has the mother as Marianne Sophie Parigau married to Felix Bonnet, also mentioned Bernard Parigau, Pierre Parigau married to Ambroise Sophie Renault grandmother and grandfather to Pierre Felix Bonnet, Felix Bonnet son of Felix Bonnet and Dame Assee Parigau marries Elizabeth Clemence Noel, Charles Denis Bonnet Cadet (not sure what the Cadet means) godfather Charles Parigau and godmother Laurence Euphrasie Parigau listed as great aunt and uncle. Any ideas and help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for taking the time to look this over.

Any ideas? > Bonjour I have : Laurence Euphrosine PARIGAU, born 1790, married Pierre Joseph BENECH (dead 16 feb. 1866 St Pierre, Le Mouillage) In the french records of St Lucia for some death appear PARIGAU(D) père (father) négociant (merchant) and PARIGAU(D) fils (son) but without first names. I think you will find something in the LDS' microfilms at St Pierre, Le Mouillage. Could you give me the informations recorded on the birth certificate ? About RENAULT : a lot of records in St Lucia.

The town of St Pierre in Martinique had 2 parishes : Le Mouillage (harbour) were lived the merchants. Le Fort French records of St Lucia are hold in Centre des Archives d'Outre-Mer in Aix en Provence. They were microfilmed by LDS. Look at http://members.aol.com/GHCaraibe/geo/geosluc1.html Our association has recorded marriages and burials not births. I can send you what I have about BONNET, RENAULT, PARIGAU families in St Lucia but in french. It is difficult for me to understand your genealogy. A page in english is at http://members.aol.com/GHCaraibe/pub/pubquea.html Could you give me (possible) dates for Sophie Ambroise. I found a Ambroise RENAULT dead 1778 who could be a godmother of Sophie Ambroise This family was from Angers Pierre PARIGAU père et fils (father and son) in St Lucia 1785 But these records are probably too "old" for an easy connection.
