To All: I have to give a talk about people here finding their French Families in Quebec. How is Dite pronounced in English-- also feu. veuf & veuve. They need to know those when reading the Church records. I know what they mean. Dite another name used by that Family. Feu--deceased & veuf Widower & Veuve, Widow. Since I find those a lot in records they should know those. I will give them the months printed out in French & the words for Mother, Father, Godmother & Father. Also the numbers from one to thirty. Darlene I don't expect any answers until tomorrow as it is very late. THANKS for any help. Darlene Also there is a marriage I can't find of Joseph Defoy & Marie Archange Robin-Lapointe. It should be around 1838 I think in Montreal. I gave up after 2 hours. Also there is a Joseph Defoy & Julie Perrin I can't find. Their son Joseph Elzear was baptized in 1805 at Notre Dane-Quebec on page 160. Is her name parent or Perrin? I'm helping a fellow member of our Genealogy Society.

Have you seen the blog Maple Stars and Stripes? They have podcasts explaining how to analyze Quebec church records. See http://maplestarsandstripes.com/mss-015-french-canadian-marriage-records/ Hi Darlene, Joseph Defoy and Julie Parent were married 10 Nov 1801 at Notre Dame de Quebec. You can view the record at Family Search by browsing Quebec, Catholic Parish Registers, 1621-1979/Québec/Notre-Dame-de-Québec/Baptêmes, mariages, sépultures 1799-1802 Image 269 of 394 Joseph Defoy and Marie Archange Robin-Lapointe were married 24 Jan 1815 at Saint Louis de France in Terrebonne. Ancestry has the record, though it's not very clear. Also, they have indexed Joseph as Defay instead of Defoy! Good luck!

If you are just concerned with pronunciations, failing everything else you can use Google translate. There is a button for it to pronounce what you have entered.
