Part 846h – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1865 Burial – Half-GGG-Granduncle Romain Huard – Paspébiac, Quebec

Good Day,

In the search and research of one’s ancestry and genealogy one never knows what one may stumble upon, nor how soon one can discover an ancestor’s vital records. I am searching the Huard family name to determine how many children CK’s gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier) may have had while she was married to her first husband Romain Huard. I have found that Ancestry.ca has uploaded just over 600 records with the surname Huard of Paspébiac from The Drouin Collection. My search involved going through each one for the period from 1859 to about 1866.

And then I stumbled upon the 1865 Burial Registration of half-ggg-granduncle Romain Huard. Here are the images I downloaded.
