Notes:

  can explain this one: Gisèle-Rolande-Renée was adopted. In the province of Quebec,when a child was legally adopted, the Court ordered the priest to create a "fake" baptismal recordto hidethe fact. The fake record reported the adoptive parents as being the biological parents. The child had no way of knowing he was adopted. The words "nous, prêtre soussigné avons baptisé" were crossed-out and replaced by "a été baptisé" clearly showing that the priest who wrote the record in 1937, did not actually baptise the child. She was baptised somewhere else on 28 Jun 1931. The record does not show a confirmation date; instead,the priest used thearea to add a note:

"N.B. Par ordre de la Cour Sup. à Montréal, 7 Nov 1936, No. 583
Cette note ne doit apparaître sur les certificats
que dans le cas de nécessité absolue"

"N.B. Byorder of the Superior Court in Montreal, 7 Nov 1936, No. 583
The above note must not appear on any certificate unless there is an absolute need to do so."

I found something interesting on the same page: Right below the first entry,there is short entry for Marie-Marguerite-Rita LARIVÉE thatsays her baptismal record will be found on page 1 of year 1938. Another adopted child. You will probably find such a reference for Gisèle-Rolande-Renée on the page where her baptism date (28 Jun 1931) fits.

I wonder if this family thought they would never have biological children of their own so they adopted in 1936. Later they were able tohave children and their family grew larger . . . or should I be suspicious of adoptions there, too?

From Denis ARBOUR via email on 02 May 2008: Strange. On her original baptismal record, back in 1931, her parents are reported as"unknown" but her godparents are the same as on the "fake" record. They are close relatives to René and Yvonne. Audélie LAVOIE is René's sister-in-law and Roland ROCHON is probably Yvonne's brother. I have a feeling Gisèle-Rolande-Renée is René and Yvonne's illegitimate daughter.

From Denis ARBOUR via email on 04 May 2008: In order to adopt a child, you need to be patient (in the province of Quebec, that is). It'salong process before the Court will finally grant permission tolegally adopt a child. It can explain the delay.
