Does anyone have any information about a child born to Marguerite Boyer 26 March 1806, baptised April 1806, sponsers were Pierre Pratte & Julie Boyer. I believe Julie & Marguerite were sisters. The baby's name was Jean Baptiste (no last name given). There was no mention of the name of the father of this child. I believe Marguerite married Louis Mercille in about 1809 but can only find one female child mentioned. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Mary Pratt Mary Pratt
