Error in birthdate Anne-Marie Dumais 64574?
Date: 2020-04-13 20:19:00
Hello,
I've been updating the family book and went through the records of Mission Saint-Joseph-de-Sillery, and found the birth of Eustache Dumetz and Jeanne Redie (should be Vedie or Voidy, but he misspells it all the way through) on 30 August 1665: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G99Q-SPW3?i=12&wc=9RLN-MNT%3A24881201%2C24881202%2C24881203&cc=1321742
However, the entry for his sister Anne-Marie on this site (64574) has her date of birth as 30 August 1665. If she and Eustache were twins, you would think there would be an entry for her, too, but there is not. I cannot find her anywhere in the Mission Saint-Joseph-de-Sillery registry, though some pages were lost to damage.
However, we know she was a child of Jean and Jeanne because she is identified as being present during the inventory of their estate (8 January 1709), as the widow of Michel Cureux. The only thing I can think of is that Eustache died and, without a child to be breastfed, it is likely Jeanne became pregnant again and gave birth to Anne-Marie in 1666 (her other children are generally spaced two years apart). The only other probable placement is after brother Nicolas, but then she would have been too young to marry in 1688.
Does anyone have an independent source for the birth or baptism of Anne-Marie Dumay (Dumais, Dumays, Dumoys)?
And how can I add Eustache to the record with the link? The site does not allow me to because of the age.
Regards,
Michelle Demers
