This record can be found as image 210\/317<\/a> and image 211\/317<\/a> in the Acadia French Catholic Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1670-1946 on Ancestry.com in the records for St-Charles-les-Mines Bapt\u00ed\u00aames 1707-1733. The record appears on pages 206-207.<\/p>\n

This child appears to have been baptized privately before the church baptism. I am not exactly sure how to translate the section of this record that deals with the private baptism. The church ceremonies were apparently conducted after the private ceremonies, although my translation implies that the child was born after the private baptism! There is one word in this section that I did not know how to translate.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a006 Apr\u00c2\u00a02008: Gilles, the Nomadic Researcher<\/font><\/a>, provided me with the correct transcription and translation for the sentence about the first baptism which he describes as a “provisional baptism made at birth when the life of the child is at stake” .\u00a0At the time of the record, the priest\u00c2\u00a0would normally state “a suppl\u00e9\u00e9 aux c\u00e9r\u00e9monies du bapt\u00ed\u00aame”, indicating that he made up for\u00c2\u00a0the ceremonies of baptism. Thanks, Gilles!<\/p>\n
