Jean Le Vanier settles inheritances in France in 1726
At the end of July, Yves Vanier visits the departmental archives of Calvados in Caen, Normandy, France. He spent a week researching the archives of 1724 to 1726 of the Vanier family notary in d'Honfleur, the tabellion Gilles Saunier. He finally came upon a record acte de règlement du 26 avril 1726 (French only, English version to come later), signed by Jean le Vanier and Nicolas Dunepveu, which settles de inheritance of Guillaume Vanier, Pierre Vanier et Jacqueline Gaillard (record transcribed by the paleographer Guy Perron):

The record also contains the mandate given to Jean Le Vanier by his mother, his sisters and brothers in law to settle the inheritances. A record extremely important for the family which answers a number of questions raised in the article published on the web site www.vanierfamily.ca in 2008:
