Serreau dit St Aubin-5 and Serreau-4 appear to represent the same person because: there's only one child born in 1665, his name is Pierre, not Jean. Merge into Serreau-4, dit names don't go in LNAB
Hi, Gisele, I see you added the project to his profile. Was there something about the significance of his life in Acadie that would qualify him for the project? Born in Canada and married in France.
Hi Cindy. I don’t know what I was thinking because he doesn’t qualify! Maybe I saw that his sister Genevieve was included in the project because she was married in Acadie and left many descendants there, and thought “keeping families together" but since they were not born in Acadie, nor were their siblings, then it wouldn’t apply, right?
