How does Rita fit into the Demers? (I also have a main Deneault line, so that's why I thought I might be able to help...) If it was in error, you might want to repost to the DAIGNEAULT board if there is one, or DENAULT - they are pronounced the same, although usually different families. I did look into Ste-Cunégonde (Montreal) registers - there were no adoptions listed in them. It was interesting, though, because in one of the registers, and I forget which one now, in Quebec I looked at for you, there were a few adoptions listed in the back of the volume. They did not name the child, but gave a baptismal date. Those were in 1934, and the kids had been born in 1929, 1930, 1928.... I'd never seen that before, so I learned something new today! There is probably a good chance your mother wasn't given a correct birthdate.... but I'd be willing to look again with whatever you have, and see if I can find a Rita (or Marguerita, etc.) born about that time. You are welcome to email me directly if you want to protect her personal information. Click on my name and that will give you my address.
