Part 845h – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1864 Baptism – Half-GGG-Granduncle Romain Huard – Paspébiac, Quebec

Good Day,

Following up from my previous post and my search and research of the genealogy of the Parisé Family Line, CK’s gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier), gggg-grandfather Thimothée Parisé’s second wife was also married twice. Her first husband was Romain Huard and they were married in Notre-Dame Parish in the County of Bonaventure, Quebec, 17 January 1860. (See Part 807gh.)

Based on my search, I have discovered that there is a possibility that Romain Huard, gggg-grandmother Catherine’s first husband may have passed away sometime around 19 May 1865. According to a Notre-Dame-de-la-Purificatin register he was buried on that day.

As they, gggg-grandmother Catherine and Romain Huard were married for approximately five years I have been searching the registers to see if I could discover any record of baptism, etc., relating to any possible children of their marriage. To date I have located one, a baptism of CK’s half-ggg-granduncle Romain Huard. He was born3 August 1864 and baptized 7 August.
