Louis Fortin
In the year of O[ur] Lord, [one thousand six hundred]
seventy one, on the nineteenth of March: I baptized in the
Church of Saint Anne, an infant born on the seventh of the
same month of Julian Fortin and Genevií¨ve Gamache, his
wife, residing in the same parish. His Godfather was Joseph
Gagnon and his Godmother was Louise Picard, daughter of
Jean Picard. The infant was named Louis. Signed F[raní§ois]
Fillon, missionary priest . [signed] Morin, priest
This record can be found as image 12/877 in the Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Ste. Anne du Beaupré 1668-1808. The record appears on page 8.
This image is apparently from a transcript of the original record book since it states that the record was signed by Franí§ois Fillon, but was actually signed by Morin.

Hello Steve…
