Subject: [COULOMBE-L] Fw: [CANADIAN] Question Re: Tanguay



: In French sources please note the following:

: b (bapteme) = baptism
: n (naissance) = birth
: d (deces) = death
: s (sepulture) = burial
: m (mariage) = marriage
: 
: Sometimes the baptism was the same day as the birth but if you wish to be
: accurate, the look for the baptism record - this will tell you the date
: of birth in most cases, especially for infants.
: 
: Similarly if you wish to record the date of death, find the burial
: record.
: 
: Tanguay is a marvellous beginning but if you wish accuracy use it as a
: tool to find the original records. Mind you I have not confirmed all of
: my 8000+ FC records as I think it will take me quite awhile. However, I
: am doing so for the direct ancestors.
: 
: Bonne chance et a bientot,
