The Godfather was Franí§ois Fradette, and the Godmother was Anastasie Mailloux, who, as well as the father, did not know how to sign.

The Godmother of the child was Anastasie Mailloux. From the Marriage Record of Franí§ois Gamache and Marguerite Duteau, I learned that Marguerite’s mother was Anastasia Mailloux. Since women in Québec kept their maiden names, the Godmother of Franí§ois Céade Gamache may have been his grandmother.
