This record can be found as image 90/317 in the Acadia French Catholic Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1670-1946 on Ancestry.com in the records for St-Charles-les-Mines Baptíªmes 1707-1733. The record appears on page 86.
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 . 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!
