The birth\/baptismal and marriage records list the name of this person as Marguerite Fortin, and the death\/burial record lists the name as Marie Fortin. Even though the name changes from record to record, these records are linked together by various other pieces of information in the records, including the names of Marguerite’s parents in the birth\/baptismal and marriage records and the name of Marguerite\/Marie’s husband in the marriage and death\/burial records.<\/p>\n

One term in this record deserves additional attention. I have translated the French word “viatique” as “Viaticum”, a Latin word referring the the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist given to a person who is dying.<\/p>\n
