Research Note

La graphie BAUDOT (plutôt que Boudot) n’est signalée qu’à une seule occasion dans les sources, soit au mariage de Aubin fils d’Aubin au Rg St-Jean-Port-Joli. Les premier grands généalogistes du Québec semblent avoir favorisé cet orthographe, simplement parce que tiré d’un registre qui avait mérité à l’époque beaucoup plus d’attention que ceux de la Baie-des-Chaleurs. Ces premiers y ayant fait référence, ceux qui ont suivi ont naturellement repris cet orthographe. Selon les mentions de Marie et Louise Boudeau dans les sources primaires de la Baie-des-Chaleurs, soit plus d’une douzaine d’exemples, les trois premières lettres du nom sont invariablement B-O-U. Nous sommes donc d’avis que le patronyme d’origine est bien BOUDEAU." [6]
Translation: The BAUDOT (rather than Boudot) spelling is mentioned only on one occasion in the sources, namely at the wedding of Aubin son of Aubin at Rg St-Jean-Port-Joli. The first great genealogists of Quebec seem to have favored this spelling, simply because it was taken from a register which at the time deserved much more attention than those of Baie-des-Chaleurs. These first having made reference to it, those which followed naturally adopted this spelling. According to the mentions of Marie and Louise Boudeau in primary sources for Baie-des-Chaleurs, more than a dozen examples, the first three letters of the name are invariably B-O-U. We are therefore of the opinion that the original surname is BOUDEAU. "

There are two mtDNA test results posted at Québec mtDNA Project claiming Louise Boudot as their Earliest Known Ancestor, and reporting Hg=D1.[7] There are also five test results reporting Marie Boudot as Earliest Known Ancestor.

She is Louise Baudot. Her sister is Marie Boudot (because that is how she was created). There is no need to change either name. There are links to each of them from other profiles and Space pages related to their Hg=C1c. No need to break those. Nothing to be gained.

We will never know the exact and specific spelling of these women's names. I'm not sure that they could have at the time either. One spelling was as good as another. So, let us just accept that we don't know the spelling of this family's name, and we are unlikely to ever discover definitive documentation. They are well known as the matriarch's of the Lecouffe and Chicoine dit Cotton families.

And... could I ask you to delete any comments whose relevance has been overcome by events? Please.
