Misc. Notes
His godfather was Solomon Simard and godmother was Sylvie _____Bouchard.
®4139 His mother had died in 1830, two years before his father who died in 1832 when he was age 20, 9 years before he married. No children are mentioned even though they lived their entire lives in Baie-St-Paul.
®4089 As for Georges McKay who married Adele Simard there does not appear to be any children. Another genealogist (Bob St.-Gelais), whose father originally was from Baie-St.-Paul, said: "If you find any children please let me know because I've never found any". So much for a DNA test.
