Hi; I am new to this list. While I am not new to genealogy (began 1977); I am new to Quebec research. I have a record of a marriage performed on Drummond Island, Michigan at the time it still belonged to Canada. The record, written in French says that the groom, Pierre Giroux is the major son of Jean Baptiste Giroux and Francoise Laport who are natives of paroime (parrish?) St. Philippe of Quebec. I do not speak French and can only pick out certain words in the records. This Pierre had a son named Pierre Giroux bn. sometime between 1815-1819. Pierre Giroux Jr. was married in 1836 in Penetanguishene, Ont. In 1889 he renewed his wedding vows with his wife of 53 years and on that 2nd wedding record, Pierre Giroux Jr. states that he was born 15th or 19th (hard to make out) of Jan. 1815. It is possible that the year if off somewhat and possibly could be later. I can find no record of his baptism on Drummond Island, but records there are few. They did not have a priest, except for one that traveled and might stop on the island every 8 years or so. The father, Pierre Giroux Sr. married Charlotte Spenard in 1826. It is possible that Pierre Giroux Jr. is her son, but he was not bapt. at the time of the marriage. Pierre Giroux Jr.'s marriage record says he is the son of Pierre Giroux of Marie no last name. I am thinking it is possible, as this was often done with men of the fur trade as Pierre Giroux Sr. was, that he took his child back to his home Parrish to be baptized. How do I go about seeing if there is a record for the baptism of Pierre Giroux Jr. in St.Philippe records. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cindy
