Glad to be here! is anyone familiar with the Furtaw surname?

Yes I have actually checked the Drouin records, page by page, for those three towns in the years mentioned.  I am now trying to find another town or village where Nazaire and Victorine may have lived.  Quebec recording methods are so detailed and I am certain to find her death or a birth of their child somewhere.  Thanks again.

Terri, not sure what you mean "I also have checked all the Drouin records". Do you mean actually gone through the records page by page or what? Neither the Family Search nor Ancestry have complete indexes for the Drouin collection, so do not depend on that alone.

Thank you James for your information.  I have assumed that Victorine Bedard died between 1871 and 1876.  My thought also was that she died in childbirth.  I have not found a child born to them in St. Flavien, St. Croix and Ste. Agathe (Lotbiniere).  I also have checked all the Drouin records for her death in those three towns.  I have also assumed that in Quebec (such a Catholic province) your remained married until death.  Thank you for your input.

Terri, I have been giving this some thought. If I understand you query you have looked through the St-Flavien church records for Victorine's death record between 1871 and 1876 when her husband Nazaire remarried? There are a couple of things I would do. To narrow down a date of death, look for children being born to this couple (she may have died in childbirth?) And since these are burial records she may have been buried in her home town of St. Croix, so I would check that parish's records also.  Good luck, Jim.

Thank you for responding.  My Edouard Bedard was born in 1815 in St-Antoine-de-Tilly, Quebec.

A message from Terri Mercier to all members of French-Canadian Descendants on Genealogy Wise!

I seem to have hit a brick wall of sorts.  Our ancestor Nazaire Mercier married Marie Victorine Bedard on August 14, 1871 in St. Flavien, QC.  She was born February 22, 1848 in St. Croix, Lotbiniere, QC to Edouard Bedard and Sophie Demers.  Nazaire married Georgiana Couture in 1876 in St. Bernard, QC.  But, I can find no death record for Marie Victorine Bedard (I have also check under Victoria Bedard).  I have searched in the years between their marriage in 1871 and Nazaire marriage to Georgiana Couture in 1876.  Any assistance here would be most appreciated.  Thank you.
