Part 835pr – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1797 Marriage – 6-Times Great-Grandparents Michel Parisey and Rosalie Roussi – Paspébiac, Bonaventure, Québec, Canada

Good Day,

My next find in my search and research of the genealogy and ancestry of the Parisé Family are two Marriage Registrations. They are the 1797 Parish and Civil Marriage Registrations for CK’s 6-times great-grandparents Michel Parisey and Rosalie Roussi.

According to the documents the marriage took place 12 October 1797 in Paspébiac in the County of Bonaventure, in Gaspé, Québec, Canada. It appears that gggggg-grandmother Rosalie (née Roussi) Parisey was from Paspébiac. And we now have the names of her parents, 7-times great-grandparents Pierre Léon Roussi and Anne, what I believe is, Chapados.

On the other hand we have another new discovery. It appears that according to the documentation that gggggg-grandfather Michel Parisey was from the south across Chaleur Bay, from Caraquet in New Brunswick. Coincidentally this is approximately 200 miles from where CK’s father was born in Oromocto. Amazing!

Also we are now introduced to gggggg-grandfather Michel’s parents, 7-times great-grandparents Michel Parisey and Marie Albert. Another branch discovered.

Here is the image of the Parish Registration. Due to the quality of the image I have not attempted to transcribe. The Civil Registration which follows is of better value and the penmanship of the Priest is great. From The Drouin Collection via Ancestry.ca, Image 11 of 37.

The following are the pages from the Civil Register, downloaded from The Droun Collection, via Ancestry.ca. Images 150 and 151 of 195.
