Sorry about the early release of other email.    St-Basile Madawaska was a mission of St. André Church, Kamouraska, Québec. until 1804 & 1807-1808.  You may want to check there for original entries. Besides the register see if there is a missionary folio (bundle of loose sheets) from the circut ride.    I feel one of the birth years is wrong. The time between the birth dates is too short for an early birth & survival. I have seen some errors in the records when a priest "remembered" the events when returning to the main church several weeks later.    The Thibodeau(x hehe)from that area, I have looked at, may be actually be from Caribou area.    Paul Le B  l'Ascension  Louisiane    -----Original Message-----  From: Fr John L <owentagart@aol.com>    According to the record on two consecutive pages of the register of the parish  of St. Basile de Madawaska, Father Charles Hott, priest and pastor of that  parish, on 18 March 1806, baptised two sons of Joseph Tibeaudeau and Marie  Josephte Cote, namely Firmin Theodule Tibeaudeau and Simon Maxime Tibeaudeau.  The record also indicates that Firmin Theodule was born on 12 January 1800,  Simon Maxime on 28 July of the same year, and that both were baptised during  that year by Messire Francois Vezina, missionary there at that time. There is  no reason given in the record for the second baptismal ceremony. However,  according to my own experience of nearly 40 years of priesthood, I am quite  sure the reason was that the records kept by Messire Vezina, missionary were  either deteriorating or difficult to read. This was not simply a transcription  of the previous record, as indicated by the fact that, in addition to the marks  [ + } of some of the participants who were unable to sign their own names,  there are names written out in a different hand than Father Hott.    Fr John L    -----Original Message-----  From: Russell Dorr <russelldorr@yahoo.com>    On this page, there are two baptisms of two sons of Joseph Thibodeau &  arie-Josephte Coté, one for Firmin Thèodule, the other for Simon Maxime, both  n 18 Mar 1806. What is odd is that it seems Firmin was born 12 Jan 1800, Simon  n 28 Jul 1800. Can anyone figure out what is going on here? The URL is at the  nd.    hanks,    ud Dorr
