Claude's parish - France 1712
« on: Thursday 04 November 21 02:26 GMT (UK) »
This seems to be the first mention of Claude Bertolle in the Montreuil sur mer registers.
There are entries for some 8 or so children of his after this date in the registers from the St Pierre parish of Montreuil..

This is from the St Pierre register and here he is a witness at the marriage of Jacque de Gordin of the parish of St fremien - this is another parish in Montreuil.
Each person seems to identified by their parish.
After Claude Bertolle is written: 'de Marie Jeanne des (or les)  ?'.
There are about  8 parishes within Montreuil for which registers exist, but none of them mention 'Marie Jeanne'.
Any ideas about the missing word, and how I might find out where the parish is?

Thanks very much

I think it is another name in the list:  ...de Marie Jeanne Testelin...

My logic is that Claude is also preceded by de and he isn't a parish.

It looks to be:  ...en presence de [name], de [name], de [name]... etc

The real parishes are identified by a form of:  ...de La paroisse de [whatever]...

Just my thoughts from the writing - unencumbered by actual knowledge.

That's a good point HD.
It may well be just another witness instead of a parish.
Darn. I thought it might tell me where he had come from!
He just seems to appear around this time in these registers.
Back to the drawing board!

You are correct.

Back to the drawing board!
