From Tanguay (vol.1), daughter Marie Conille baptised 1665 at LaRochelle; m. 8-Feb-1683 to Etienne Fontaine at St. Laureint, I.O. The researcher may have mistaken LaRochelle, France with LaRochelle, Nouvelle-France. However, her baptism is recorded in France, NOT Nouvelle-France. It is believed Marie came to Canada with her parents. Tony Fontaine Canadian Fontaine Genealogy Association www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/5233/
