I found this record while trying to trace the Leblanc family line from which my Godmother, Alice Charron Danko, descends. The document is an Acadian record from Nova Scotia. While hunting for more information about the place, I found a photograph of St. Charles les Mines which you can view by clicking on the link.

The date of birth of Anne LeBlanc was not provided in this record.

UPDATE: 17 Mar 2008: Gilles, the Nomadic Researcher, provided me with the correct transcription and translation for the last sentence of this record. Thanks, Gilles!
