In the year of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, one thousand six hundred seventy one, one the 28th of March, I baptized in the church of Notre Dame du Ch\u00ed\u00a2teau Richer, and performing the function of pastor, an infant born of Pierre Gagnon and\u00c2\u00a0 Barbe Fortin, his wife on this same day. Her Godfather was Julien Fortin residing in Cap Tourmente and her Godmother was Vincente des Varrieux of this parish.

This record can be found as image 55\/727 in the Qu\u00e9bec Vital Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Ch\u00ed\u00a2teau Richer 1661-1702. The record appears on the bottom of page 81 and the top of page 82.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the given name of the infant was not recorded on the original record. The record shown here appears to be a relatively recent transcript and identified the name of the child based on Tanguay.<\/p>\n
