This record can be found as image 477/727 in the Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Chí¢teau Richer (1661-1702). The record which seems to be a transcription made many years after the event, appears on page 32.
The number and letter that precede the names indicate that the event was a marriage, and that marriage was the 62nd in Chí¢teau Richer for the year 1699.
This record does not state the exact date of the marriage but, based on the dates of the preceding marriage and the subsequent marriage, one can deduce that this marriage occurred between 12 Nov 1669 and 19 Nov 1669.
Two priests are named in this record. Father DeCaumont performed the marriage and Father Fillon recorded the event in the register.
