Hello cousin,

This message is regarding the incorrect changes you made to the profile of Jean Marie Rémillard (1769 - 1825).

Please refer to existing guidelines on names and place names on the project page here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Quebecois (Hyphenation of names is fairly modern usage, older records simply did not have it.)

His burial record lists him as Jean Baptiste, which is why it shows as his preferred name.

Also, parish names only get entered into marriage place.

Hi Gilles,

I’m trying to find out some information on my family. It seems you manage my 4th great grandfathers page; Ambroise Denomme. Do you know anything about the Denomme family? I’m trying to find out if there is indigenous blood within my family (I’ve been told there is) I just don’t know where. Any insight about my family in general would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Gilles,

I have been researching my husband's family for about a year now. His great-grandfather was Henri S. Martin and his great-grandmother was Angelique Caron. I would love to have any additional information that you might be able to provide including living ancestors. My husband is Paul Martin who was born in Detroit. We have recently located a descendant of Henri's sister in Ontario. Thank you!

To Gilles Caron, My name is Ronald Roussell. My grandfather on my mothers side is Thomas Shugrue, married to Mary Reardon. I don't have very much history about my ancestors under the Shugrue name. What was your relationship to Thomas Shugrue. I'm interested in following the Shugrue name further back in history. If you would like to communicate with me directly my email is: [email address removed]

My mother was Mary Shugrue. Thanks Ron Roussell Mission Viejo, CA

Hello Giles,

I have just begun a family tree today and see that you have entered a lot of information on my Paternal Grandparents side. I also see that you have created a profile of my Great Grandfather: William Francis Primeau 1868-1945. His daughter Lucy (Cape) is my Grandmother. I am in the process of entering a profile for her and others. Is it possible to connect? Many thanks, Janice Cape Mayuk

Gilles, Are we related? Joseph Chartrand is my Father. I am JoAnne Chartrand born nov 19, 1952.

What ticks me off in family research?? People who don't understand the French Canadian tradition of Joseph and Marie in baptism records..... They think that 98% of the population is named Joseph and Marie. Understand people.. .that these were simply baptism names... and not their real name. Very rarely did a man actually go by the name Joseph.. and sometimes it was a compound name... like Joseph-Arthur or something or another. Joseph simply meant by tradition that it was a boy... so the first name on the registry was Joseph.. Marie simply meant that by tradition it was a girl.. so tradition would have them name the child Marie Jeannette, or Marie Charlotte, or Marie Francoise... rarely did the girls go by the name Marie.. and it was certainly not ALWAYS their first names... unless of course again it was a compound name... and then she'd go by the name Marie-Anne, or Marie-Madeleine.. or something or another.

Even my daughter who was baptized in 1988 under the name Marie Sylvie Justine something or another with a following of names including obviously the names of both great grand mothers... ... the priest instructed us to write whatever we wanted and to just to be sure to circle the name in the list of names.. under which one she would go as in life, so the government would know what her real name was. So... basically JOSEPH and MARIE are NOT the first names... they are baptismal names only.
