Can't believe I have this and what about common Quebecoise names?
OMG my adoptive mom kept my adoption decree...along with the bill for the nursery and all the home visits!! She kept everything. Used to make me crazy. Now I wish she was alive so I could give her a big hug. I don't have to go begging the State of Wisconsin for my own information!
Anyway, My G-0 great-great grandfather has a very common name in Quebec. First as well as last. There are 2 people with the same name born about 18 months apart. I want to be sure I attribute myself to my correct ancestor. Any hints would be helpful. In the family and census records, all I know is a first and last name.
Also-Looks like he claimed to be naturalized on the census but I can't find proof of that. Guess I'll go through his wife instead:
My G-0 great-great grandmother was Delia Mary...or Marie Delia...or Adelia... or (on her marriage license) Lia! Sigh. Anyone else go through this? Any hints on figuring this out? I have to ask Banq for the correct records.
