This record can be found as image 75\/312 in the Qu\u00e9bec Vital Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for L’Islet 1679-1779. The record appears on the back of folio 7.<\/p>\n

I don’t quite understand the translation after “having received all the sacraments” except for the fact that no one signed the record.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 08 Mar 2008:<\/strong> Once again Gilles, The Nomadic Researcher<\/a> has come to my rescue. Gilles wrote that the phrase with which I was struggling states (in French) “d’une mani\u00ed\u00a8re toute \u00e9difiante” which means “with an edifying manner”. Thanks, Gilles!<\/p>\n
