I found the marriage record for Francois Oullette and Marie Josette Dancosse from mil sept
cent quatre vingt dix sept (1797). He is a widower of someone whose name I cannot make
out and she is the widow of Jean Baptiste Chamard . I have a baptismal record for a
Michel Chamard in 1788 and he is the son of Jean Baptiste (illegible, but probably
Chamard) and Marie Josephete Dancosse. I found the marriage record for Francois Oullette
and Marie Josephete Dancosse where she is listed as the widow of Jean Baptiste Chamard.
So when Henriette Chamard's godmother(Marraine) is listed as Marie Josphete Dancosse,
"femme de Francois Oullette", we have a situation where the godparents are not
husband and wife. So Henriette's godfather, Marie Joseph Chamard, is quite possibly
Marie Josphete Dancosse's son from her marriage to Jean Baptiste Chamard, or possible
a brother-in-law. I'm reading the downloaded photo copies of these records and they
are in cursive writing and in French, so I!
struggle with this.
