Hi Renee, Thanks so much for your reply. I was afraid to put this marriage down for Michel & Charlotte. I will feel comfortable doing that now. I saw this birth but wasn't sure if I should pick it or not. There were several Charlotte & Marie Charlotte Blais floating around. I don't always rely on the same parish for baptism as I find for marriage or birth of their children. I swear, sometimes, that you would think our ancestors and relations lived near super highways and own RV's the way they got around. LOL With the info you gave me, I feel confident now to use that marriage, parents and get their births records.

Maybe she decided to call herself Charlotte since Charles is ususally a male name. I've often seen Marie Charles-Charlotte..... Maybe is you trace her bapt. you'll see it as such.

This marriage is not listed yet on the upgraded Drouin on Ancestry. I found one marriage that fits but Charlotte's name isn't the same. It looks like Marie Charles BLAIS instead of (Marie) Charlotte BLAIS. All the births I could find for their children, she is listed as Charlotte. This marriage in question is on Pilot website: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start . The parish is St. Pierre, Montmagny 1795-1823, image 138. I have not found any other marriage for this couple and I started back at 1795 to 1810 through 3 different parishes. I tried, all for Montmagny, St. Thomas, St. Pierre du Sud and St. Francois de Sales de la Riviere du Sud, where their daughter, Marie Genevieve (bapt. 1811) was married to Francois COTE. I wonder if anyone could take a look and see if this might be the marriage I'm looking for. The date is 13 Feb. 1810. The marriage starts on bottom left page and goes to top of right page. The names are on right page. I do not know the names of parents for either Michel or Charlotte so this would help a lot in finding their births. If I am wrong with this marriage, does anyone have a better date and parish to look at? Thanks so much for your help. Family Search was no help in pinpointing marriage and all the trees I've looked at for help has this as their marriage. Sue macduff@embarqmail.com . .
