I've been thinking of starting back into that side of the family lately (I had done only her husband's line), and this seems to be the perfect motivation and reason to uncover the Chabots!<br />It's great to have a community of such helpful and kind people with the same interests. I hope I can pay it forward soon. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142759756057072451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645404003289774033.post-18057665595224689972012-09-13T11:41:11.794-04:002012-09-13T11:41:11.794-04:00Nice find by Yvonne!

I'll definitely look into this. Thank you very much again!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142759756057072451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645404003289774033.post-69686452919371040262012-09-08T21:43:28.595-04:002012-09-08T21:43:28.595-04:00Hi, Linda.

I just looked at the parish records for Saint-Lazare, Bellechasse County in the Drouin Collection at Ancestry.ca, and think I found Léda's baptism record. She appears as "Marie Domitille Chabot", daughter of Joseph Chabot and Louise Labrie, baptised on 7 June 1861 (born "la veille" - the previous day). The rest of the info is in record B36, page 8 (verso), Saint-Lazare, Bellechasse, 1861 (image 9 of 23). If this is indeed your ancestor, it's not that unusual for her to have a different baptismal name than the name she might have used in her daily life. I have a number of (French-Canadian and R.C.) ancestors (male and female) who were given a particular name at baptism, yet used another name as they got older.Yvonne Demoskoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13337822921875324881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645404003289774033.post-27061977704873507932012-09-08T19:24:13.709-04:002012-09-08T19:24:13.709-04:00Thank you all for the welcome!!Thank you all for the welcome!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142759756057072451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645404003289774033.post-54754336803040452992012-09-08T14:48:16.931-04:002012-09-08T14:48:16.931-04:00Linda, I can totally relate to your "About Me...Linda, I can totally relate to your "About Me" statements. I think I was born wanting to know more about my family history! Although my roots reach in different directions than yours (well, I'm close with Ontario and New York!), in some ways I wouldn't be surprised to see that our mutual interests may reveal kindred spirits.<br /><br />I hope you are encouraged with your blogging project and that it leads to many further serendipitous discoveries! I found you via GeneaBloggers, and am glad to have been sent in your direction! Best wishes as you continue your research and your blogging.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.com
