This record can be found as image 19\/877 in the Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Ste. Anne du Beaupr\u00e9 1668-1808. The record appears on pages 22-23.<\/p>\n

This image is apparently from a transcript of the original record book since it states that the record was signed by Fran\u00ed\u00a7ois Fillon, but was actually signed by Morin.<\/p>\n

The actual dates of birth and baptism are missing – there are blank spaces in the record. The best conclusion that can be drawn about the date of baptism is that it occurred between the baptisms recorded immediately before and after Jean Fortin’s baptism. Thus, the date of baptism is most likely between 10 Jun 1674 and 25 Jul 1674.<\/p>\n
