Recently, while researching the Lemire family (Jean Francois Lemire and Francois Foucault) on the FamilySearch.org Pilot records for Quebec site, I ran across birth records in Maskinongé; 1701-1797; St-Joseph-de-Maskinongé Parish. These records have a cover page showing the micro film numbers, Parish and so on. Looks pretty official. When I look at the records they look to be rewritten on binder paper. Also, The Parish is different from the Drouins that I have from Ancestry.com. Up to now, all the Drouins that I've found of their kids have been for Trois-Rivières; L'Immaculée-Conception-des-Trois-Rivières Parish. I've also noticed that the word recollet (reconfirm?) is written on most of the rewritten records in Maskinongé with Trois-Rivières called out as the Parish in the body of the record. Would this mean that they were baptized again after maybe moving to another Parish? Thanks for any help, Blair LeMire

Hi Blair I'm looking at LDS record 1701-1797 and I see Pretre Recollet`` what that means is the priest is a Recollet. Récollets A Roman Catholic religious order founded in France in the 16th century. The order sent the first missionaries to the Huron in 1615. The Récollets were replaced by the Jesuits after 1626 and left New France. They returned later during the 17th century, but played a secondary role in the missionary work.

The Récollets were a branch of the Order of Friars Minor (OFM), more commonly called Franciscans. Recollection houses were, strictly speaking, friaries to which friars desirous of devoting themselves to prayer and penance could withdraw to dedicate their lives to spiritual recollection. By the late 18th century, the French Récollets had 11 provinces with over 2500 friaries. The Order was suppressed in France during the Revolution. In other European countries it was -- and still is -- known as "Capuchin Friars."
