I have found a burial record for Joseph St. Onge -- I have a bazillion Joseph St. Onges (using various dit names). No spouse or parents are mentioned. I am trying to read his age, but it doesn't look like any numbers I can tell except for the last part of "avant hier, age d' ??????soixante trois ans." There a word before it (shown as ??????) that looks like "environ" and I'm not sure if it's part of the age or something else. Is there someone who can read these records that may be able to tell me what it says? I can send separately attached to an email. Thanks! Patty --------------------------------- We won't tell.

Hi Patty; That word is most probably "environ" which means "about". thus he died "about 63 years old".
