Hi
I am the Manager for my late maternal Aunt's DNA test. Complicated story her DNA confirms my maternal Grandfather was not her Father.
DNA has 37% French ethnicity my Aunt was born in February 1941 in Hunstanton Norfolk UK. Her closest DNA match is a second cousin who unfortunately has not responded to messages through MyHeritage or Facebook (luckily has an unusual first name).
I have found her Mother's obit - names daughter and photo matches pictures on Facebook. This led me to her Mother's marriage.
Where can I find Quebec Births/Baptisms online that would give me the parents names the births I am after are in 1950 and 1952.
Thanks
Gary

Thank you Sandra for your prompt reply.

Probably a long shot but..........Have you got any names you can put on here so that we could check newspapers ?
Not living people though.

If any of them are likely to have been Catholic, Ancestry have the Druin Collection online. I was surprised to find my father's nonconformist half brothe's marriage and his children on there.

Hi Sandra
Thank you for that link to Familysearch I did find that earlier today and no hits.
The person who I know is deceased was Marcelle Robidoux born 16/11/1950 died 16/03/2016 married 14/07/1973 in Rouveile Quebec.
I would think she was also born in Quebec.
Thanks
Gary

Is that her married name or her maiden name?
-
Hi amondg
Maiden name. Married in 1973 to a man with the surname of Montpetit.

She ran a non profit in Longeueil which is now run by her daughters. Followed in the tradition of her mother Antoinette Robidoux.

Also for clarity, under civil law in Quebec, women keep their maiden names even tho' they may be referred to using their married names.
Antoinette's maiden name was Caron, married to Marcel Robidoux. From Find-a-Grave:

The match could also be through the second cousin's paternal line -- Montpetit. Where did OP find the marriage?

This article about the mother who was quite a force (and for whom a street in Longueuil has been renamed) had 23 children:

Hi Eileen
The match is definately through the Robidoux line. My late Aunt's DNA has several 2nd-4th cousins and I have have been working with a lady through Ancestry who is either a half 2nd cousin or second cousin once removed who is a Laroche.
My late Aunt's second closest match does not know who her paternal Grandfather was so your sleuthing could solve more than one mystery
I am very grateful for you taking time to search the records.

Just a heads up that in Quebec DNA, there is alot of consanguinity so that the relationship may appear closer than they are. Most French Canadians all descend from approx. 8,500 original French settlers.
