Your response helped me as well. I've followed and admired your advice to others for over a year now, but this is the first time I've got direct help to fill in a detail or two about my Boudreau ancestors.
I am descended from Louis Boudreau and Marie Deshaies dit St-Cyr. I had obtained the registries from St-Jean-Baptiste-de-Nicolet from the local LDS FHC and did a thorough search, but still had several "holes" to fill. I had deduced that Louis must have been the Nicolas for whom I found a baptismal entry December 12, 1776, because (1) I knew when Louis married in 1801 he was "of age," and so born in 1780 or earlier, the son of Osias Boudrot and Marie-Anne Orillon (2) Louis was said to be 48 when he died in 1826 (3) there were not to many years for Louis' birth to fit in as a child of Osias and Anne, and (4) weak negative information in that I never found the marriage or burial of a Nicolas Boudrot. Therefore, I was 90 per cent sure. Do you have any specific source information which indicates that Louis was in fact Nicolas?
There were one or two other siblings for whom I had duplicate entries because of mix ups on the names at baptism and marriage, but after reviewing your summary, I grew more confident about "merging" them as well. One question I still have, however, is about the Joseph Boudrot who married Marguerite Lemire. I had two Josephs - one who was born 18 Apr 1772 for whom I found what I thought was a burial entry on 4 May 1772, age 3 or perhaps 13 days (neither of course which fits exactly), and another for whom I had no baptism information who married Marguerit Foucalt. I realize that Foucalt is a dite name for Lemire, so that fits. Perhaps the Joseph who was buried 4 May 1772 was the son of other parents and I did not catch it (did not bother to make a copy of the entry since Joseph was not a direct descendant).
Thanks again, Bill Brunelle
