Birth/Baptism record from the late 1800s

Hi guys! Im looking to get this baptism record of a distant relative transcribed into something I can translate into English! I can make out a few things, and let you know what I know about the relative. I believe the childs name is Marie Eugenie Nadeau, and the parents are Francois Nadeau and Cesaire Turcotte. The year on this document should be 1880, its Canadian, and it looks like the birth month says the french word for february. Either way, Id be very appreciative if someone could transcribe it for me! If this scan isnt good I can try to get a better image of it

Thank you in advance!

Hey guys, Ive been a lurker taking reccomendations from different threads for a few months now, but my list of books I know Ill enjoy is starting to run low. Read the Mars trilogy (+ the Martians) recently and really enjoyed it, Im slowly working through every KSR book my library has to try and fill the Mars Trilogy shaped hole in my heart. While the super long descriptions of Mars were hard to get through sometimes, I gladly fight through it for the greater story

I think what I like most in my scifi books is at the very least starting in a reality very similar to ours, even if it gets bizzare later. I also enjoyed the Three-Body Problem Trilogy, the Lathe of Heaven by LeGuin, and the Sparrow Duology. I also enjoyed Project Hail Mary and the Martian but those kinda read more like YA to me so Im not really looking for reccs of something with that writing style.

No need to reccomend any KSR or Cixin Liu because Im working through both of their entire works on my own anyways lmao. About to start reading Blood Music by Greg Bear because Ive heard a lot of praise for it.

Thanks!
