Subject: Jean CHABOT b 1853 m. Juleinne ST.DENIS b1854, looking for his parents
Hello, my first post to this family list. My family name was Anglicanized from Chabot to
Shepard when the family moved to Lowell, Ma from Iberville, Quebec, in the late
1800's.
I believe Jean Chabot's parents were Jean Baptiste Chabot and Rosalie Morin m.1850
in St. Athanase, Iberville, Quebec.
I would like to be able to locate a copy of Jean Baptiste Chabot and Rosalie Morin's
marriage certificate in 1850 OR a birth certificate for their son Jean Chabot, b 1853 in
Iberville.
My cousin refuses to go further back with the family until I can prove a marriage/birth of
these people. I do own a subscription to the PRDH, but since it starts with 1799 and goes
back, I must make that connection between 1799 to 1850. Any help?
I did look in the archives and found the names of Mathurin Chabot and Marie Mesange, whom
I believe are my ancestors, but like I said, my stickler for sources cousin, won't
believe me until I have a document in hand! I told him to drive from Pennsylvania to
Quebec to get it. I myself am in Massachusetts, and don't read or write a bit of
French, so I'm at the mercy of this list.
Please help me make my cousin happy!
Merci, (Well I guess I do speak a word or two of French) ;-)
