Greetings Degruy-L Researchers, Regarding Celine's comment..... "I have a conflict of info to reoprt, tho: According to Glenn R. Conrad, St. Charles, Abstracts of the Civil Records of St. Charles Parish, 1700-1803 pg.27 - Marie Therese Aufrere died June 30, 1774 in St. Charles Parish, La. (It is the "inventory of the community property of Joseph Dusiau and his late wife, Therese Aufrere". (The inventory is actually taken on 30 June, she may have passed away the day before.)" ------- We probably need a methodology discussion on how to handle descrepancies.... I also see a possible one with that Pierre Huxelle death info..... Any ideas? Here is where documentation is so important. [AN ASIDE: Documentation is something I did not pay full attention to back in August 2003 when I first began my research [and this despite my academic training - to my shame - :-[ . But honestly, at the time, I didn't have a clue what I was getting myself into....how to locate information... how to properly use the Internet, how to record information so that other genealogists could understand. I also had no clue I would get as far as I did in my research, despite my ignorance. And so, I am always going back to pick up "lost stitches" as I continue to learn] But... back to how to handle discrepancies.... keeping in mind that the more we share our info... the more the discrepancies will appear. [Another Aside: I really need to turn my attention to building a web site, which I have never done. We can have a folder on that for discrepancies.... and put the information there to sit until we can "prove" something one way or the other.Maybe I can start on that this week.] In any case, I welcome a discussion about this topic of discrepancies. I'd suggest we begin by subitting a separate email to the list just on the topic of the Discrepancy...being careful to put "Discrepancy" in the subject heading line... so when we go back to search the archives, we can locate it easily. Then we need to state clearly the discrepancy; e.g., We have a discrepancy in reported death dates for Marie Therese Aufrere. Then we should note which researchers have different information and the sources [if these exist] for the conflicting information. That is a start, at least. Now regarding the discrepancy at hand ... here is my meagre information on the death of Maria Therese Aufrere..... I have, in my notes, 3 separate possibilities for her death date: One bit of information has 21 Feb 1785 [Thelma Coignard has June 1774] another bit has: after Dec 17, 1792 [Thelma has her dying in St. Charles Parish] another bit: LDS has 1774 NOLA Of all this information given, I'd go with whoever has documented information [Celine, I think you have pretty solid documentation, since it comes from a succession reported by Conrad]. Since my 21 Feb 1785 is not documented, I'd include that date as a "discrepancy," but not select it for the main entry. So, I'm going to substitute your date, Celine, in my program. Also, here is where the members of Degruy-L could help us.... Let's have a "Call for Documentation"! Does anyone on the list have a death certificate for Maria Therese Aufrere? Or any other kind of "official" documentation [such as a photocopy of Marie Therese's succession] that could help us to settle this matter and solve the discepancy? Just some of my thoughts about this discrepancy issue.... Anyone want to contribute to this discussion? Renee
