Message Board Post:
I have been looking for the birth record of Octave CHAMBERLAND, born 1803, for some time.
He is the son of Charles CHAMBERLAND and Thérèse RIVARD.
I believe I have finally found it in the register for the parish of La Visitation,
Pointe-du-Lac, St.-Maurice, Québec. It is dated 5 Oct. 1803, which closely matches his
reported age of 75 at the time of his burial in St.-David-de-Yamaska on 1 Jul 1878.
His parents are the same as on his marriage record of 1 Aug 1831 at Louiseville,
Maskinongé, to Felicité St.-YVES. The godmother appears to be his maternal grandmother
Geneviève LAFONTAINE
The quality of the original handwriting and scanned image is poor, but his full name
appears to be Claude Charles Octave CHAMBERLAND. The family is recorded as being of
Yamachiche parish.
