HI I am working on a family. It appears that they were having their children baptized between two parishes. So I checked out google maps the Parishes if I did it right was only 11 minutes by car apart. The time period was 1833-1877. Was this possible? The Parishes were Les Cèdres and St-Ignace-de-Coteau-du-Lac. Thank you Annette

That 11 minute drive by car on one of today's highways might have been on a muddy, rutted road by horse and carriage and taken a lot longer. The parish of Les Cedres opened in 1752. The records of baptisms, marriages and burials from 1777 until 1833 were recorded in the registers of St. Joseph De Soulange Roman Catholic Church in Les Cèdres, Québec. The parish of St Ignace de Coteau du Lac opened in 1833. Perhaps your family lived closer to St Ignace. NB - if you click a parish on this map link it will give the date it started. http://www.genealogie.umontreal.ca/en/carteQuebec.asp ----- Original Message ----- From: "a wojos via" <quebec-research@rootsweb.com> To: "Q-R" <quebec-research@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2014 9:16:50 AM Subject: [Q-R] Help with directional HI I am working on a family.
