Hi Cindy Just a bit of information to supplement Larry's: Charles Hamelin married Marie-Athanasie Sauteuse at Mackinac in 1738; there were 6 children: Marianne 1731-1767; Jacques b 1733; Pierre Pascal 1735-1745; Louis Charles b 1737; Marie Françoise 1739-1750; and Jean Baptiste b 1741. Marie-Athanasie died in 1745. Marie-Athanasie must have been a remarkable woman. Not only did her faithful slave take her name (and was buried inside the church next to her mistress) but Charles soon married another Sauteuse who also took the name Marie-Athanasie upon conversion. The registers don't tell us whether this was her idea or Charles's. Of their 2 children, 1 died in infancy and I don't know about the second, Marie-Joseph born 1748. Marie-Athanasie the second was, I believe, the woman (also known as Equawaice) who then married Jean-Baptiste Cadot and was the mother of all his children. By the way, you should if at all possible get hold of the original records, in French: the folks at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin must have all been Protestants, for there are some interesting errors in their translation. Marie-Athanasie (Cadot's wife) is also called by them Catherine, but the word in the original is quite clearly catechumen: a person in the process of preparing for formal conversion to Catholicism. About a year ago I purchased the CD Mackinac Register 1695-1888 from Ste. Anne's Church. I believe it was $20 or $25 and it contains both the images of the original registers and the SHSW translation. The address is: Ste. Anne's Church, P.O. Box 537, Mackinac Island, MI 49757. Hope this helps. Betty Jack
