LNAB of daughter in this case is unknown in her baptismal record

Question

Pélagie Bérubé and Jean Baptiste Gagnon dit Belisle had one child only. Marie Charlotte was baptized before their marriage as a child of unknown parents. She was recognized as their legitimate heir at the time of their marriage.

Should her LNAB be Inconnus (Unknown) per her baptismal record or Gagnon per the marriage record?

Thank you and a good Thanksgiving to all Wikitreers in the US.

Answer 1

LNAB should be Gagnon since the marriage legitimized the child. I had one like that not too long ago. Just make sure you explain on the child's profile and put the source for the parents' marriage there as well to show the legitimacy of it all.
