Click on the link for a PDF<\/a> copy of the Death and Burial Record of Marie Fran\u00ed\u00a7oise Landry. Translated from the French the record reads:<\/p>\n Burial Marie Fran\u00ed\u00a7oise Landry<\/p>\n In seventeen hundred sixty seven on the fourteenth day of October, by me the undersigned priest, the body of Marie Fran\u00ed\u00a7oise Landry who died yesterday armed with all the sacraments, age sixty years, wife of Pierre LeBlanc, was buried in the cemetery of this parish, in the presence of Mister Ducondu and Jean Baptiste Guigiolet who has declared that he is unable to sign as required. This record can be found as image 80\/136 in the Quebec Vital Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Lavaltrie 1753-1783. The record appears on the reverse of folio 76.<\/p>\n The dates of Marie Fran\u00ed\u00a7oise Landry’s death and burial are somewhat ambiguous. The record seems to state that the date of burial was “le quortreme jours d octobre”, but the word “quortreme” could be a misspelling of either quatri\u00ed\u00a8me (fourth) or quatorzi\u00ed\u00a8me (fourteenth). The record immediately preceding this one clearly states that it was recorded on the twelfth and the record immediately following this one clear states it was recorded on the twenty-fifth. I assume that this record must have been recorded between these two dates. Therefore, I conclude that the correct date is the fourteenth of October, 1767.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2008 by Stephen J.
