On the eighth of September one thousand eight hundred and twenty, by us the undersigned parish minister, was baptized Marie, born today of the legitimate marriage of Fran\u00ed\u00a7ois Gamache, farmer, and Marguerite Leblanc. The Godfather was Nicolas Gamache and the Godmother was [Lacoste Ste Mineur?] who, as well as the father, have declared that they do not know how to sign as required.<\/p>\n

I\u00c2\u00a0couldn’t quite read the name of the Godmother. To me, it looks like Lacoste Ste Mineur, but I’m not at all certain about this. Perhaps other records will shed some light on this name.<\/p>\n
