Confirmations in Québec (31 May 1678)
Transcribed by Gail Moreau-DesHarnais, FCHSM member ([email protected])
Transcriber’s notes: These confirmations are found on FHL [Family History Library] film #0375840,
item #14, and also on the indicated PRDH Online certificates. The names are transcribed as found on the
film and have not been standardized, as they are on PRDH Online. Names followed by an asterisk [*] are
not shown in the Dictionnaire Jetté [DJ] as having been confirmed. [Note from Suzanne Sommerville Jetté may have omitted recording some confirmations because he used these references, sometimes, to
establish the first presence of an individual in New France. If a person was documented before the
confirmation took place, he used the earlier date.] A double asterisk [**] indicates the name could not be
found in DJ. Family names in parentheses are as shown in DJ. Transcriber’s comments are in brackets.
If an individual was related to or the ancestor of a person who was in Détroit between 1701 and 1710, that
information is also given. References are cited at the end of the lists.
