Click on the link for a PDF<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0copy of the Birth and Baptismal Record of Joseph Charles G\u00e9d\u00e9on Patenaude – 1872. Translated from the French, the record states:<\/p>\n

B.28 [baptism #28]
\nPatenaude
\nJos.Chs.G\u00e9d\u00e9on<\/p>\n

On the tenth of\u00c2\u00a0March one thousand eight hundred seventy two, we, the undersigned parish priest, baptized Joseph Charles G\u00e9d\u00e9on, born on the second day of the current month, of the legitimate marriage of Charles Patenaude, farmer, and Osithe Gamache of Saint Herm\u00e9n\u00e9gilde. Godfather, [Eani?] Dupont, farmer, godmother, Marie Ed\u00ed\u00a8se\u00c2\u00a0Mailloux [denoulair?] who do not know how to sign.<\/p>\n

[signed] [M.Handry?], Priest<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There were a few words I couldn’t decipher in this record. In particular, I couldn’t read the first name of the Godfather,\u00a0and one word after the Godmother’s name. Nonetheless, I was able to transcribe and translate the most important parts of this record.<\/p>\n

Based on information in both this record and in the record for Marie Z\u00e9na\u00ed\u00afde Zite Patenaude, I think\u00c2\u00a0both children\u00c2\u00a0may have been\u00c2\u00a0baptized in the Mission of Saint Herm\u00e9n\u00e9gilde, rather than the Mission of Saint Edmond, but it’s hard to tell. Apparently, the records of several missions are\u00c2\u00a0reported together in the same fonds. I’ll have to look into this in more detail.<\/p>\n

One point about the names of children of French origin that I didn’t really understand before today is that many children were given the honorific names Marie and Joseph. Generally, they used the second name as their given name. Thus, Marie Z\u00e9na\u00ed\u00afde Zite Patenaude\u00c2\u00a0went by the name\u00c2\u00a0Z\u00e9na\u00ed\u00afde, and Joseph Charles G\u00e9d\u00e9on probably went by Charles.<\/p>\n
